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
- 2006First flight
- 2006 - Launched in 2006 modernizing the 604
Announced at NBAA 2005 and certified in October 2006. Kept the CL-600-2B16 airframe of the 604 but modernized the cockpit (Pro Line 21 LCD), cabin (CES with LED) and windows (30% larger). Produced until 2015, when it was replaced by the Challenger 650.
- 2014 - Platform with 30+ years on the market
The CL-600-2B16 type certificate covers the 604, 605 and 650, one of the longest-lived platforms in modern business aviation, in continuous production from 1995 to today (650). More than 1,000 Challenger 600-series delivered globally, Bombardier's absolute bestseller.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Pro Line 21, a generational avionics leap
The 4 LCD 10x12 displays replaced the 604's 6 CRTs, with drastically better situational awareness. Optional WAAS-LPV, Charts/Maps integration, and an architecture prepared for FANS 1/A and CPDLC, so the 605 is virtually born ADS-B compliant for NextGen 2020.
30% larger windows transform the cabin environment
The redesign of the 16 windows, taller and wider, together with the Cabin Electronic System with fiber-optic LED lighting, brought the 605's widebody cabin up to a competitive standard with the Falcon 2000EX EASy and Gulfstream G450 of the time.
Limitations
No winglets and no engine upgrade
Unlike its successor the 650, the 605 did not receive winglets or the CF34-3B MTO engines (9,220 lbf of thrust, about 5% more at takeoff). Hot-and-high performance is inferior to the 650, and cruise fuel burn is ~5% higher. The cost of a winglet retrofit via Aviation Partners (Quiet Wing) is USD 800k-1M.
Curiosities
Healthy pre-owned market at USD 7.5-13.5 million
In 2024-2025 the Challenger 605 sold between USD 7.5M (high-time, mid-life inspections due) and USD 13.5M (low-time, Gogo AVANCE L5, full ADS-B + LPV). It is the sweet spot between the 604 (cheaper but with old tech) and the 650 (premium new). The Pro Line 21 retrofit backlog remains healthy.
