FAA Certifies Bombardier Challenger 350 Aircraft

Granted Full Type Certification By The Agency

The FAA has certified Bombardier's Challenger 350 business aircraft. Transport Canada certification was granted on June 12, 2014.

"FAA certification for the Challenger 350 aircraft is another key step on the path to entry-into-service," Stephane Leblanc, Vice President and General Manager, Challenger Programs, Bombardier Business Aircraft, said in a news release. "Designed with the feedback from existing Challenger aircraft owners and operators, this new aircraft will meet their ever-growing needs. We are looking forward to delivering this segment leading aircraft and are confident that our customers will love it," he added.

The company says the Challenger 350 aircraft offers increased performance from the new twin Honeywell HTF7350 engines, each producing 7,323 lb of thrust, as well as reduced emissions and increased aerodynamic efficiency with its new canted winglets. This increased power will allow faster time to climb, coupled with increased efficiency, ultimately placing more destinations within reach. The Challenger 350 jet boasts class-defining performance, a true seats full, tanks full, 3,200 nm range and will connect Paris with Dubai, the planemaker says.

The Challenger 350 aircraft's cockpit will be equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics system. Features of the new avionics include, among others, synthetic vision, dual inertial reference systems, a paperless capable cockpit and MultiScan Weather Radar. The forward-thinking avionics are designed to shift the workload away from busy pilots, allowing for increased situational awareness.

In preparation for its entry-into-service, Bombardier Aerospace is currently reconfiguring a flight training device and Level D full-flight simulator at its aircraft training center in Dallas, Texas.
