1. FOREWORD
The CL–600 Model 2B16 Challenger airplane (Serial No. 5701 to 6049) Flight Crew Operating
Manual is designed to provide the flight crew with readily accessible operational information. For
optimum utilization of the manual, this introduction should be read carefully.
The purpose of the Flight Crew Operating Manual is:
• to provide information regarding operational procedures, performance and limitations
• to standardize terminology and behavioral patterns
• to provide rapid access to reference procedures
• to provide reference material for self-teaching
• to provide information on airplane systems and operations that are controlled and revised.
To accomplish this, the Flight Crew Operating Manual has been divided into two volumes as
follows:
Volume 1 – PROCEDURES AND PERFORMANCE
Volume 2 – SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
Throughout this manual, the experience of the typical Challenger crew has been recognized, and
for this reason, basic system principles have been omitted. For example, the text is not intended
to teach the crew how to fly an airplane, but to enable an experienced crew to operate the
airplane safely and proficiently.

2. VOLUME 1 – PROCEDURES AND PERFORMANCE

The Procedures and Performance volume is the complete operating procedures document.
It is the responsibility of pilots who are qualified to operate the airplane to be entirely familiar with
the information contained in this publication, to ensure that the airplane is operated at all times
within the approved flight envelope.
For clarity and simplicity, the manual is written in the imperative, in order that the information and
operating instructions may be presented in a positive sense and require no interpretation by the
user.
In some procedures, the designations “PF” and “PNF” have been used:
• “PF” means that the associated action is always performed by the pilot presently flying the
airplane, whether it is the pilot or the copilot.
• “PNF” means the pilot not flying the airplane.
Specific items requiring emphasis are expanded upon and ranked in increasing order of
importance, in the form of a NOTE, CAUTION or WARNING.

NOTE
Expands on information which is considered essential to emphasize.
Information contained in notes may also be safety related.

CAUTION
Provides information that may result in damage to equipment if not
followed.

WARNING

Emphasizes information that may result in personal injury or loss of life

if not followed.

The contents and general format of the procedures and performance volume are as follows:
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Limitations
Chapter 2 contains the reproduction of the limitations governing operation of the airplane, found
within PSP 605-1, the Airplane Flight Manual.
Chapter 3 – Emergency Procedures
Chapter 3 contains all procedures which can be related to foreseeable emergency situations. The
procedures are presented in expanded form, describing in detail how and why the emergency
procedure steps are accomplished.

2. VOLUME 1 – PROCEDURES AND PERFORMANCE (CONT'D)

Chapter 4 – Normal Procedures
Chapter 4 contains detailed procedures for conducting a normal flight with all airplane systems
operational. Procedures are listed sequentially by phase of flight, starting with exterior safety
inspection and extending through post-flight duties at destination.
Line items define the steps to be accomplished during each phase of flight, and are expanded to
define the action required to perform the steps.
Chapter 5 – Abnormal Procedures
Chapter 5 contains all procedures which can be related to foreseeable abnormal situations. The
procedures are presented in expanded form, describing in detail how and why the abnormal
procedure steps are accomplished.
Chapter 6 – Supplementary Procedures
Chapter 6 contains normal procedures which are either not related to a specific phase of flight, or
are not performed as part of routine daily procedures.
Chapter 7 – Performance
Chapter 7 contains the instructions to flight crew that certified performance data on the airplane
can be found within PSP 605-1, the Airplane Flight Manual.
Chapter 8 – Special Operations
Chapter 8 contains special operating procedures which are not routinely performed on each
flight, and are accomplished only on an “as required” basis to cope with minor system
irregularities or abnormal flight conditions.
Chapter 9 – In-Flight Checks
Chapter 9 contains operating procedures not routinely performed every flight, and are
accomplished only when certain airplane systems are to be tested in flight.

3. VOLUME 2 – SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION

Volume 2 contains descriptive airplane systems information. This volume is divided into 19
chapters, listed alphabetically by systems. Refer to Volume 2 – Foreword.

4. PAGINATION
Each chapter of Volumes 1 and 2 of the Flight Crew Operating Manual is subdivided into sections
categorized by the subject or type of material presented.
This permits issuance of small blocks of revision pages without re-numbering and reprinting
complete sections of the manual.
Volumes 1 and 2 are paginated with a Volume Chapter/Section/Page numbering system as
follows:
SAMPLE PAGINATION
CHAPTER

DFO1_0101_001
VOLUME Vol. 2 06−20−1 PAGE NUMBER

SECTION WITHIN CHAPTER

Additional identification data carried in the margin of the page are the date of issue or revision
date, printed below the page number, and the chapter, title and subject carried in the masthead.

5. REVISION SYSTEM
Revisions to this manual will be issued when necessary, and are numbered consecutively. Each
revision should be inserted immediately and entered in the Record of Revisions sheet.
Alterations to former pages will be identified by a strong vertical line, except when a whole
chapter or section is revised. The reason for revision is then given under revision highlights only.
Beside the normal white pages, yellow pages are used to identify the Temporary Revisions. The
Temporary Revisions are numbered consecutively. Each Temporary Revision should be inserted
immediately and entered in the Record of Temporary Revisions sheet.

6. REGISTRY CODES
The following registry codes are utilized throughout the Flight Crew Operating Manual to identify
data that is only applicable to a particular certification authority:
AR Aviation Registry (Russian)
CAAI Civil Aviation Authority of Israel
EASA European Aviation Safety Agency
FAA Federal Aviation Administration (US)
SAAU State Aviation Administration of Ukraine

7. QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK

The Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) presents the Normal Checklist, Quick Reference
Performance Data and combined Emergency/Abnormal Procedures. The QRH is a small booklet,
bound so that it will lie flat when opened to any page.
The QRH contains Emergency and Abnormal Procedures in a system and EICAS message
format that is readily accessible in the flight compartment. Line items and layout are identical to
those used in the expanded version, however, procedures are abbreviated by deleting
explanatory material from the expanded procedures.

8. CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET

The following paragraphs summarize Bombardier Aerospace philosophy and policies with
respect to resetting of tripped circuit breakers.
A. General
There is a latent danger in resetting a circuit breaker tripped by an unknown cause because
the tripped condition is a signal that something may be wrong in the related electrical circuit.
Until it is positively determined what has caused a circuit breaker trip to occur, flight crews,
maintenance personnel, or airplane ground servicing personnel usually have no way of
knowing the consequences of resetting a tripped circuit breaker.
Resetting a circuit breaker tripped by an unknown cause should normally be a maintenance
function conducted on the ground.
B. In-Flight
A circuit breaker must not be reset or cycled (i.e., opened or closed) unless doing so is
consistent with explicit procedures specified in the Flight Crew Operating Manual or the Quick
Reference Handbook or unless in the judgement of the Pilot-in-Command, the resetting or
cycling of the circuit breaker is necessary for the safe completion of the flight.
A Logbook write-up is required for an in-flight circuit breaker reset/cycle.
C. On Ground
Bombardier Aerospace finds it acceptable for operators to attempt to clear the faults by
performing system resets (power cycling on the ground) on an occasional basis.
If unable to clear the fault, maintenance action should be carried out. The MMEL must be
used (if applicable) and/or the affected system condition must be satisfactory for airplane
dispatch.

9. OPERATIONAL CAUTION TO CUSTOMERS
