SECTION 1

AIRCRAFT - GENERAL

1. MODEL DESIGNATION AND TYPE

The aircraft, named Challenger, is manufactured by Canadair Limited. The Challenger model covered by this manual is the CL-601, Model 2B16, Variant 601-3A, {Variant 601-3R for airplanes 5135 and subsequent), powered by two General Electric CF34 turbofan engines.

2. OPERATING ROLE AND DESIGN CONCEPT

Primarily, the Challenger is a long-range (transcontinental) business aircraft operated by a crew of two. The aircraft is designed to carry up to 19 passengers in spacious comfort over long distances. The combination of a technologically advanced supercritical wing, quiet and efficient engines, and a wide body enables the Challenger to achieve a high standard of performance, economy and passenger comfort.

3. AIRCRAFT DIMENSIONS (Figure 1)

All basic dimensions, including ground clearances, are given in Figure 1.

4. AIRCRAFT TURNING RADII (Figure 2)

Using the nose gear steering control wheel, the pilot can turn the aircraft, during taxiing, without differential braking. Figure 2 shows the turning radii applicable to the maximum nose wheel steering angle of 55 degrees, the minimum taxi strip width required for a 180-degree turn at the maximum steering angle, and the turning radii for the maximum towing angle of 90 degrees.

5. DANGER AREAS (Figure 3)

I t is essential that persons involved with engine or APU running are aware of the danger areas in front of and to the rear of the engine(s). Before running an engine or the APU, the information illustrated in figure 3 must be used to consider the safety of persons, equipment and buildings in the vicinity of the aircraft.

AIRCRAFT PARKING AND MOORING

When the aircraft i s stationary on the ground, precautions must be taken to ensure safety of personnel and equipment. The extent of safety measures to be observed depends upon the prevailing or expected weather conditions and the expected length of time the aircraft will be stationary. For complete instruct ions on parking and mooring the a ircraf t , refer to Ground Handling and Servic ing Information, PSP 601-13.

SERVICING POINTS (Figure 4)

Location and details for al l aircraft servicing points are shown in Figure 4 .

AIRCRAFT ANTENNAS (Figure 5)

Location and nomenclature of the aircraft antennas are given in Figure 5.

DOORS

The aircraft is provided with a passenger/crew door, a baggage compartment door, a rear equipment bay door, landing gear doors and various small doors which provide access to servicing points. An overwing emergency exit door is provided on the right side of the passenger compartment.

The baggage compartment and emergency exit doors are of the plug type which open inward; all other doors open outward. All doors are flush with the aircraft outer skin when closed*

A. Passenger/Crew Door (Figure 6)

The entrance door is electrically or manually operated and downward opening, with the stairs forming an integral part of the door structure. I t s movement i s controlled .by a counterbalance system of gas springs.

An electrical power assist system provides an optional means of closing the door from inside the aircraft. A control switch, labelled CABIN DOOR, i s located just forward of the entrance door. Holding the switch to the RAISE position activates the system which raises the door from any open position up to the closed position. Once the switch i s released, the door can s t i l l be operated manually. A pull-in handle on the rear handrail can be used to reduce the force required to close the door manually from the inside of the aircraft.

The latching mechanism is operated by an internal single-lever handle, located on the forward side of the steps, a T-handle which i s recessed in a r i s er of a step and an external handle with a keylock.

canadair chaliBnqer OPERATING MANUAL

PSP 601A-6

On aircraft 5041 and 5146, a vent flap linked with the external handle locking mechanism is located just above the external handle recess, to ensure that the cabin cannot be fully pressurized unless the door is correctly locked. The vent opens whenever the external handle is moved from the stowed position. A viewing window adjacent to the T-handle displays the legends LOCKED and UNLOCKED to indicate the position of the external handle.

Once closed, the door is latched from the inside by pushing the internal handle downward. The T-handle is then pulled out of its recess to stow the external handle, which clicks audibly when stowed. Verification that the external handle is stowed can be made by ensuring that the internal handle cannot be pulled up. After this check, the T-handle must be stowed in the riser of the step.

From outside the airplane, the door is latched by rotating the external handle fully clockwise to engage the door latches and stow the pull-out handle. Pushing the external handle then places it in the stowed position.

The door is unlocked from the inside when the internal handle is pulled upward, ejecting the external handle from its pocket. The door is then unlatched by continuing to pull the internal handle upward. As the door opens, the handrails unfold upward.

The door unlocks from the outside by the operation of a PUSH trigger in the external handle, which is ejected from its pocket. To unlatch the door, the external handle is then turned 45 degrees counterclockwise. Pull-out and pull-in handles are also provided to assist the operator in opening or closing the door from the outside or inside, respectively. When the door is fully open, a door support leg extends to the ground.

B. Emergency Exit Door

For details of the emergency exit door, refer to Section 8.

C. Baggage Compartment Door (Figure 7)

The baggage compartment door is located on the left side of the aircraft immediately aft of the passenger compartment. The door opens inwards and upwards, and is assisted during opening by balance springs. The door is held closed by two plungers which are operated by an external and an internal handle.

Two proximity switches are installed to provide an indication in the flight compartment when the door is not safely closed.

The external handle stows flush into a pocket in the door outer skin and, in this position, acts as a lock for the latching mechanism. The handle has a keylock which unlocks or locks a PUSH trigger. The PUSH trigger, when pressed, ejects the handle which can then be turned to release the locking plungers and to open the door.

D. Rear Equipment Bay Door (Figure 8)

The rear equipment bay door, located at the bottom of the rear fuselage, provides access to the APU, engine oil replenishment system, air conditioning units, replenishment points for No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems, and the aircraft battery. The door opens downward, has two integral steps, and is secured at the forward edge by two hinges which are equipped with quick-release pins to facilitate easy door removal.

The rear equipment bay door is held closed by two plungers at the rear edge, and is opened and closed by a handle. Handle operation is the same as for the baggage compartment door, with the exception that the rear equipment bay door must be supported during opening because of opening direction.

E. Service Doors (Figure 8)

Quick-release service door sand panels are provided for easy access to the servicing points throughout the aircraft. Location and nomenclature of these doors and panels are given in Figure 8.

F. Door Indication Lights (Figure 9)

For operation of the DOOR INDICATION lights, refer to Figure 9.

FLIGHT COMPARTMENT

Miscellaneous items in the flight compartment include a portable fire extinguisher, located behind the copilot's seat on the bulkhead that separates the flight and passenger compartments, two oxygen masks, two cup holders, and storage boxes and pouches for checklists, etc.

The windshield centre post incorporates a pilot's eye locator to enable seat adjustments for optimum field of vision.

A. Crew Seats (Figure 10)

The pilot's and copilot's seats are identical except that certain controls are installed on opposite sides. On both seats, inertia reel and forward/rearward controls are located inboard, and lumbar support, height and reclining controls are located outboard.

B. Instrument and Controls panels (Figure 11)

The instrument and control panels are arranged as shown in Figure 11, and are presented in Figures 12 to 18.

Circled numbers on the instrument and control panels refer to sections of this manual where information on the item can be found.

c. Cabin 5ign Switches (Figure 9)

For operation of the NO SMOKING and FASTEN SEAT BELT signs in the passenger cabin, refer to Figure 9.
