About the Bombardier Challenger 350

Type certificated 2014 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The Bombardier Challenger 350 is a super-midsize business jet, the 2014 evolution of the Challenger 300 and the best-selling jet in its class through the decade that followed. It paired the Challenger 300 airframe with canted winglets, more powerful Honeywell HTF7350 engines, and a refreshed cabin, lifting range to 3,200 nm and later adding the steep-approach certification, earned in 2018, that clears it into London City. Aerodynamically and on the flight deck it is the airplane the later Challenger 3500 refreshes: the same 40,600 lb maximum takeoff weight, the same 45,000 ft ceiling, the same Mach 0.83 top speed, and the same wide BD-100 cabin seating up to ten.

For the buyer, the 350 is the value center of the super-midsize segment. It flies the 3500’s mission exactly; the 3500 changed the cabin and standardized autothrottles, not the wing or the engines, so a used 350 buys identical range, speed, and field performance for materially less than a new-delivery 3500. Against the Embraer Praetor 600, the Challenger trades range and fly-by-wire for a wider cabin and the segment’s largest installed fleet and support base; a buyer who weighs short-field access and slightly longer legs should look at the Gulfstream G280. The decision the 350 really clarifies is the one against the 3500: the same wing, engines, and performance for less money, with the price gap buying a refreshed cabin and standard autothrottles, not additional range.

Key Features for GA Buyers

The largest installed fleet in the segment. The 350 was the best-selling jet in its class for years, so parts, maintenance expertise, training, and resale activity around it are all plentiful.
Steep-approach certified. A 2018 Transport Canada steep-approach approval clears the 350 into restrictive fields such as London City, a capability the Challenger 300 never had.
A wide cabin on proven systems. The BD-100 cross-section is wide for the class, paired here with the Honeywell HTF7350 engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics that the 3500 carries over largely unchanged.

Trade-offs

The 3500 flies the same mission. The 350’s airframe, engines, and performance are identical to the 3500’s; the newer jet adds a wellness cabin and standard autothrottles, not capability, so the choice between them is about cabin vintage, not what the airplane can do.
Tight full-fuel payload. Like the rest of the family, filling the tanks leaves limited cabin payload, so the 3,200 nm range and a full cabin are not available on the same flight.
