Bombardier Challenger 605 Aircraft 2010s

2010s heavy jets are the modern fly-by-wire flagship generation — Gulfstream G650 (2012+, first FBW Gulfstream), G500/G600 (2018+), Bombardier Global 7500 (2018+), Falcon 8X (2016+), Embraer Praetor 500/600 (2018+, FBW). Honeywell Symmetry, Garmin G5000, Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion modern cockpits. Engine programs (Rolls-Royce CorporateCare etc.) universal. Best safety equipment in the class.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 is the 2006-2015 successor to the 604 — same airframe and engines (GE CF34-3B), upgraded Pro Line 21 cockpit, larger cabin windows and revised interior. The 605 is the practical sweet spot of the Challenger large-cabin family: newer than the 604 (lower mandate-upgrade cost), wider used fleet than the 650, transcontinental range ~4,000 nm. The most-shopped Challenger large-cabin on the used market.

Buying a Used Bombardier Challenger 605

Buying a Bombardier Challenger 605 comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The value driver is program, inspection, and equipment status: engines, APU, landing gear, avionics, cabin management, connectivity, and major inspection timing can outweigh purchase-price differences. A 605 should be compared by lifecycle position, not by year alone.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bombardier Challenger 605

How do Challenger 605 maintenance costs compare to the Challenger 604?
The 605 has lower hourly maintenance costs ($1,320/hr average) thanks to improved systems and better component reliability. A-checks occur every 600 hours, C-checks every 48-72 months. Landing gear overhaul every 6-8 years is a major expense. The 605s Collins Pro Line 21 avionics are more supportable than the 604s older suite.
What should I budget annually for a Challenger 605?
Fixed costs run about $823K/yr (crew, hangar, insurance). Variable costs are $4,800/hr including fuel and maintenance. At 400 hours annually, total budget is approximately $2.7M. The 605 is one of the most fuel-efficient large-cabin jets, and its wide cabin (8.2 ft) is a competitive advantage for charter operations.
Challenger 605 vs. 650 — is the upgrade worth it?
The 650 (2015+) added a Rockwell Collins Vision flight deck, increased range (4,000 nm vs. 3,756 nm), and improved cabin. Used 650s cost $5-10M more than comparable 605s. For missions under 3,500 nm, the 605 delivers 90% of the capability at significantly lower acquisition cost. The 650 is justified if range or modern avionics are priorities.
