Bombardier Challenger 605 Jets for Sale

Bombardier Challenger 606 Overview 

By Gerrard Cowan

The Challenger 605 – launched in 2006 – continued the series with a number of improvements aimed at boosting passenger comfort and cockpit sophistication. Like its predecessor, it is typically configured for 10 passengers, but can hold up to 12, and its range is about 4,000nm.

Ultimately offering an avionics and structural upgrade on the CL604 design, the large cabin Bombardier Challenger 605 retains the GE CF34-3B powerplants and 4,000nm range, but includes larger cabin windows, while the updated cockpit features ProLine 21 avionics and electronic flight bag capability.

Almost 300 units were produced for the Challenger 605 before it was succeeded by the Bombardier Challenger 650, and the aircraft continues to attract plenty of attention in the pre-owned market.

What features does the Challenger 605 offer?

The Challenger 605 aircraft boasts the roomy cabin of its predecessor (the widest in its class), though it also brings structural and avionics upgrades.

Larger cabin windows enhance the brightness of the cabin, while the aircraft also featured an updated avionics suite: the Collins Aerospace Pro Line 21 system. Moreover, the Challenger 605 offers an ‘electronic flight bag’ capability.

What came before and after the Bombardier Challenger 605?

As noted, the Challenger 605 aircraft was launched as an upgrade to the successful Challenger 604, which brought a new dimension of flexibility to the Challenger line. It was later followed – in 2014 – by the Challenger 650, which is now Bombardier’s best-selling Large Jet platform.
