BOMBARDIER (BUSINESS) CHALLENGER 601-3A (CANADAIR CL-601-3A)

The Challenger 601-3A, a long-range business jet, represents a significant advancement from its predecessor, the Challenger 600, boasting improved engines, extended range, and heightened reliability, even after two decades in service.

Bombardier prioritized reliability in the Challenger 601-3A’s design, evident in its state-of-the-art cockpit equipped with dual digital Honeywell DFZ-800 flight guidance, EDZ-800 EFIS, laser inertial reference, and dual digital Collins HR 9000 communications systems.

The addition of the Honeywell Primus 650 digital weather radar further ensures a dependable flight experience. Noteworthy refinements such as an all-glass cockpit, drag-reducing winglets, and increased fuel capacity contribute to the jet’s transoceanic capabilities, while the -3A/ER variant, featuring an extra tailcone fuel tank, extends its range even further.

Despite its age, the Challenger 601-3A maintains spacious and comfortable cabin accommodations, capable of hosting up to 19 passengers with a stand-up cabin, deluxe galley, and low noise levels, solidifying its position as a formidable competitor in the long-range, wide-body business jet category within Bombardier’s successful family of business jets.
