Bombardier Challenger 605

The Bombardier Challenger 600 series is a family of business jets. It was first produced by Canadair (as an independent company), and then produced from 1986 by Canadair as a division of Bombardier Aerospace. As of December 2017, close to 1,100 Challenger 600 Series have been delivered. Including the Challenger 300 and Challenger 850, the 1,600 Bombardier Challengers in-service had logged 7.3 million hours and over 4.3 million flights by early 2017.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 was introduced in early 2006, with the airframe updated with larger cabin windows and a new tailcone. The cockpit was updated with the Collins Proline 21 avionics and “electronic flight bag” capability, a redesigned interior cabin, Rockwell Collins Proline 21 Advanced flight Deck, and a 5% increase in takeoff thrust.
