Full Type Certification Granted September 2
EASA has granted full type certification to Bombardier for the Challenger 350 business jet. The certification was granted on September 2.
“Our Challenger 350 aircraft successfully entered into service this past June and made its European debut at the Farnborough airshow in July. With certification now in-hand, we are eager to start delivering EASA-registered units to our customers,” said Éric Martel, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “We have very strong demand for this aircraft and customers who are already operating it are delighted with its increased performance and new cabin design.”
The Challenger 350 aircraft is powered by new twin Honeywell HTF7350 engines, each producing 7,323 lbf of thrust and reduced emissions, which allows faster time to climb over inclement weather and traffic. In addition, the aircraft benefits from increased aerodynamic efficiency with its new canted winglets, ultimately placing more destinations within reach. The Challenger 350 jet’s class-defining performance, true seats full, tanks full, 3,200 nm range will connect Paris with Dubai.
The Challenger 350 aircraft’s cockpit is 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 avionics are designed to shift the workload away from pilots, allowing for increased situational awareness.
