Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

- 2003FAA certification
- 2004First deliveries
- 2004 - Absolute bestseller of the super-midsize segment
Launched in 2004 as an evolution of the Bombardier Continental project, it sold 450+ units in 10 years, more than any competitor in the segment (Citation X, Hawker 4000, Falcon 2000 combined). Replaced by the Challenger 350 in 2014 with Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics and winglets, and by the 3500 in 2022 with a cabin upgrade.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Tallest flat-floor cabin in the segment
Height of 1.85 m with a flat floor from end to end, the only super-midsize that combines true stand-up with flat-floor. Width of 2.19 m exceeds the Citation X (1.68 m) and Hawker 4000 (1.89 m). Typical layout: 6 club + divan-3 or 8 club executive configuration.
Class-leading climb performance
A time-to-climb of 24 minutes to FL430 and a 5,036 fpm initial rate of climb are unbeatable in the segment. The HTF7000 delivers 6,826 lbf per engine with an 8,000-hour TBO, a longer overhaul than competitors' TFE731.
Limitations
Pro Line 21 avionics without native Synthetic Vision
Left the factory without SVS, available only as a Collins/Bombardier retrofit. No original HUD (HGS-3500 is optional). Positioning already dated vs. the Challenger 350 with Pro Line 21 Advanced + native SVS + HUD.
Curiosities
Born as the Bombardier Continental
Announced in 1999 as the Bombardier Continental, a clean-sheet super-midsize design with no Challenger 600/601/604 heritage. Renamed Challenger 300 in 2002 (1 year before delivery) to leverage Challenger brand equity. Roll-out: August 1, 2001, first flight: August 14, 2001.
