INTRODUCTION Aircraft Evaluation Groups (AEG) are responsible for working with aircraft manufacturers and modifiers, during the development and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification of new and modified aircraft, to determine: 1) The pilot type rating; 2) Flightcrew member training, checking, and currency requirements; and 3) Operational suitability.
This report lists those determinations for use by: 1) FAA employees who approve training programs; 2) FAA employees and designees who certify airmen; and 3) Aircraft operators and training providers to assist them in developing their flightcrew member training, checking, and currency.
3. HIGHLIGHTS OF CHANGE This revision adds Appendix 9 for the Autothrottle (AT) System for Challenger 350.
4. BACKGROUND The Transport Aircraft Long Beach AEG formed a Flight Standardization Board (FSB) that evaluated the Bombardier BD-100-1A10 as defined in FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) No. T00005NY. The evaluation was conducted during March 2003 using the methods described in the current edition of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120-53, Guidance for Conducting and Use of Flight Standardization Board Evaluations.
An FSB was conducted September 2014 to include the Challenger 350. The Challenger 300 and the Challenger 350 share the TCDS model designation of BD-100-1A10. The Challenger 350 is an upgrade to the Challenger 300 to include performance and avionics upgrades. Both the Challenger 300 and Challenger 350 share the type rating designation CL-30.

5. ACRONYMS
In July 2016, the FSB conducted flight evaluations of the previously installed Avionics Software version “2.2” and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach capability in a Bombardier BD-100-1A10. The flight evaluation and the associated Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) changes were found to be operationally suitable.
In June and September 2018, the FSB conducted flight evaluations of steep approach capability, which was found to be operationally suitable. The associated AFM change was also reviewed and accepted. Please see Appendix 7, Challenger 350 Steep Approach Landing Operations, for further details.
In May/June 2022, an FSB was convened in conjunction with Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) Operational Evaluation Board to determine operational suitability and evaluate training, checking, and currency requirements of the Autothrottle (AT) System in the Challenger 350.

APPENDIX 4. CHALLENGER 300 IFIS “FILE SERVER SYSTEM” 1. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY The following is provided for the benefit of FAA Principal Operations Inspectors (POI), air carrier operators, and 14 CFR part 142 training centers for their use in determining the acceptance of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) applications as provided by the IFIS installation in the Challenger 300. As described in the current edition of FAA AC 120-76, Authorization for Use of Electronic Flight Bags, this installation is classified as “installed equipment.” EFB/IFIS functions are classified as Training Level C, Checking Level C.
2. EFB DESCRIPTION The term, “EFB” is used interchangeably with the term, “IFIS.” The EFB/IFIS functions are intended to provide situational awareness only and do not provide alerts or warnings. The three major functions provided by the EFB/IFIS are support for navigational charts, enhanced map overlays, and graphical weather images. The Electronic Chart function allows the viewing of selected Jeppesen navigations charts. The Enhanced Map Overlays function is split into an application and a server that together provide map overlays of geopolitical, airspace, and airway data. The Graphical Weather Depiction function provides various weather images, such as Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), that are uploaded via data link. The standard aircraft configuration contains the Enhanced Map Overlays functions.
Electronic charts and graphical weather are offered as customer-selected options.
3. FSB SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAINING Training is set at Level C. Level C training requires that flightcrews operating under 14 CFR parts 91 subpart K (part 91K) or 135 master the EFB/IFIS functions. As a minimum, the crew should be trained to efficiently access the airport depiction charts, departure procedures, arrival procedures, and approach charts using the EFB/IFIS Electronic Chart function. Pilots should master the Graphic Weather Depiction function to obtain Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METAR) and Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) for origin, destination, and alternate airports. Other part 91 operators are strongly encouraged to follow these same training guidelines.
4. FSB SPECIFCATIONS FOR CHECKING Checking is set at Level C. Level C checking requires a demonstration of proficiency in a task or system. A check is required for initial differences and recurrent training. The check may be administered by a company check pilot, a Training Center Evaluator (TCE), or other person authorized by the Administrator. Recommended tasks include demonstrating competency in using the Electronic Chart functions to display departures, arrivals, and approaches, utilizing the Graphical Weather Text functions, and adherence to company standard operating procedures (SOP).
5. FSB SPECIFICATIONS FOR CURRENCY Pilots who have not utilized the EFB/IFIS for a period exceeding 90 days should review the OM and company SOPs prior to their next operational flight. Operators should establish a means of ensuring that pilots are current.

APPENDIX 6. RNP AR APPROACH CAPABILITY 1. RNP AR TRAINING The RNP AR training described in this appendix does not replace the requirements or considerations in the current edition of FAA AC 90-101, Approval Guidance for RNP Procedures with AR. This report’s requirements and recommendations are in addition to AC-90-101. Initial RNP AR training for the Challenger 300 (Advanced Avionics) and Challenger 350 is defined as Level D training in accordance with Appendix 1 of this document.
2. TRAINING PREREQUISITES An applicant for RNP AR training must have first completed a CL-30 initial or recurrent course that includes the appropriate avionics installation.
3. INITIAL TRAINING REQUIREMENTS The following is the recommended minimum level of training.
3.1 Ground Training. Prior to commencing RNP AR training, please see Appendix 2 of this document for the training requirements for the Challenger 300 (Advanced Avionics) or Challenger 350 Pro Line 21 V2.2 avionics software upgrade.
3.2 Flight Training. Training should be conducted in the left seat while performing the pilot flying (PF) duties in addition to training in the right seat while performing the duties of the pilot monitoring (PM). A minimum of two different approaches should be flown in each crewmember duty position. At least one approach from each duty position should include a RF segment and RF missed approach procedure. Seat-dependent training is necessary due to the specific duties of each pilot position. These duties include callouts, aircraft instrument scan, energy management, and checklist usage.
4. CHECKING/COMPLETION STANDARDS Credit for completion will be given once the applicant satisfactorily demonstrates to the instructor adequate knowledge and practical application of RNP AR operations. No checking is required for 14 CFR part 91 operators. Title 14 CFR part 135 operators may be subject to checking per their FAA-approved training program. Due to the unique nature of these approaches, the FSB encourages POIs to include RNP AR approaches in all applicable checking evaluations.
5. RECURRENT TRAINING REQUIREMENTS The operator should incorporate recurrent RNP AR training that employs the unique RNP AR characteristics of the operator’s approved procedures as part of the overall program.
The FSB recommends that two different RNP AR approaches be conducted (one as PF and one as PM) with recurrent training in accordance with the applicable subparts of parts 91 Page 37 of 52
6. RNP AR CURRENCY
and 135. One approach should be terminated via a missed approach near the final approach fix (FAF). The second approach should be completed to a landing.
6. RNP AR CURRENCY No specific currency requirements currently exist for RNP AR approaches. However, please refer to AC 90-101 for further guidance. Some part 135 operators may have training programs and operations specifications (OpSpec) that dictate required currency requirements.

APPENDIX 7. CHALLENGER 350 STEEP APPROACH LANDING OPERATIONS 1. BACKGROUND In June/Sept 2018, an FSB was convened in conjunction with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) Operational Evaluation Board to determine operational suitability and evaluate training, checking, and currency requirements for conducting steep approach landing operations in the Challenger 350.
NOTE: This appendix does not apply to the Challenger 300 variant.
Steep approach landing operations are defined as those glidepaths greater than 4.5° and less than or equal to 6.0°. Challenger 350 aircraft modification for steep approach operation is accomplished through applicable Service Bulletin (SB) incorporation and operated in accordance with the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) 10 and is limited to 5.5°.
The FSB evaluation included numerous steep approach operations in the actual aircraft flown on a modified LPV wide area augmentation system (WAAS) glidepath of 5.5°.
All-engines-operating (AEO) and one-engine-inoperative (OEI) steep approach operations were flown, terminating in a landing, execution of a missed approach, and/or balked landing procedure. Although steep approach operations in the Challenger 350 aircraft must be conducted with AEO, the FSB evaluated piloting skills required to perform an OEI extraction should an engine fail at or below Landing Decision Point (LDP).
2. PILOT TYPE RATING Not applicable.
3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not applicable.
4. PILOT TRAINING 4.1 Experience/Prerequisite. The PF must be qualified and current on the Challenger 350 aircraft. The steep approach curriculum may be conducted concurrently with initial or recurrent training.
4.1.1 The PM must be: a) A previously trained Challenger 350 aircraft pilot on steep approaches, or b) Another pilot being trained in the same initial or recurrent course.
NOTE: Steep approach operations training is generally conducted as a crew. However, a pilot training alone may attend the course with another pilot acting as PM.
Page 39 of 52 4.2 Special Emphasis Areas.
4.2.1 Ground and flight training: a) Differences in radio altimeter (RA) callout strapping and its effect on perceived descent rate.
b) Glideslope intercept rate difference between normal and steep approach.
4.3 Ground Training.
4.3.1 Ground training must consist of training in the following areas and is appropriate to both pilot positions: a) Supplement information contained in the AFM, OM or Flightcrew Operating Manual (FCOM), and quick reference handbook (QRH). Review to include limitations, emergency procedures, normal procedures, abnormal procedures, and performance.
b) Stabilized approach concept as a key to success.
c) Visual differences between 3.0° and 5.5° sight picture.
d) Illusions to include: runway dimension on height perception, crosswind condition perception, ground rush illusion, and black hole.
e) United Kingdom Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) information and authorization for London City Airport (EGLC) operations.
f) Lighting aids available to the crew.
g) Converted meteorological visibility calculations.
h) Pilot techniques to include: avoidance of abrupt control inputs, early configuration prior to glideslope intercept, and rate of pitch change at glideslope intercept.
4.4 Flight Training.
4.4.1 Flight training must be conducted in an FFS Level D or the aircraft. FFS must have 14 CFR part 60 Class I or II airport modeling. Aircraft training must have an acceptable means to replicate 5.5° glideslope.
4.4.2 Autopilot use is NOT permitted during steep approach operations.
Page 40 of 52 4.4.3 Flight training must contain the following and is applicable to duties for both the PF and PM: a) One approach following a 5.5° glideslope to full stop using normal procedures.
b) One approach following a 5.5° glideslope to go-around using normal procedures.
c) One approach following a 5.5° glideslope with an engine failure during approach to a single-engine go-around using abnormal procedures.
d) One approach following a 5.5° glideslope with an engine failure below 200 ft to a landing.
e) One approach following a 5.5° glideslope in nighttime conditions to a full stop using normal procedures.
4.4.4 Environmental conditions for the flight training should attempt to replicate: a) Minimum ceiling and visibilities.
b) Maximum allowable winds up to limiting values.
4.4.5 When using an FFS: a) Repositions should occur to a point beyond and below the glideslope intercept to allow for PF practice of glideslope intercept transition.
b) The last steep approach should occur in real-time starting from takeoff to landing.
c) Increase turbulence level as wind speeds are increased due to building induced flow.
4.5 Recurrent Training. The FSB recommends, regardless of the number of steep approaches operationally completed, recurrent training be accomplished every 12 calendar-months.
4.5.1 The ground training segment must cover the items listed in subparagraph 4.3 above and may be abbreviated as deemed adequate by the instructor.
4.5.2 The flight training will include a minimum of three steep approach operations, which must include the following: • One steep approach to a landing.
• One steep approach to a missed approach.
• One steep approach at night.

6. PILOT CURRENCY (1)
7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY (1)
5. PILOT CHECKING There is no checking requirement for Challenger 350 steep approach operation qualification.
Documented satisfactory completion of steep approach operation training is sufficient.
6. PILOT CURRENCY Three steep approaches must be conducted within 3 calendar-months in the airplane and/or approved FFS.
In the event that no approaches have been conducted within 3 calendar-months, the crew will complete at least three steep approaches and also conduct a self-review of all steep approach applicable information in the AFM, OM or FCOM, QRH, and any other operator-identified material.
7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY The FSB requires ground and flight training for competency in conducting steep approach operations. Steep approach operations are demanding into any airport and can include modified procedures, short runways, and greater than “normal” sink rates. The FSB has determined that the conduct of steep approach operations, once trained, does not require greater than average piloting skills, and the Challenger 350 is operationally suitable.
Any pilot in command (PIC)/second in command (SIC) who has been properly qualified in the Challenger 350 aircraft under 14 CFR parts 61, 91K, or 135 may conduct steep approach operations provided the requirements of this appendix have been satisfactorily accomplished.
*An operational suitability determination does not constitute an operational authorization.
*Be advised, it is common that individual airport authorities have training and documentation requirements specific to their airfields with regards to steep approach requirements.

APPENDIX 8. COLLINS HEAD-UP DISPLAY (HUD) AND ENHANCED VISION SYSTEM (EVS) 1. BACKGROUND This appendix addresses the installation of the Collins HUD System, HUD-6650, and Collins EVS-3600 (STC No. ST02691SE), for the Bombardier BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 350). It also addresses the combined operation of both systems, hereafter treated as enhanced flight vision system (EFVS).
Pilots using EVS should be careful not to conclude that the flightpath is free of hazards merely because none are visible in the EVS image either in the Collins HUD (EFVS configuration) or in the EVS Multifunction Window (MFW).
Collins HUD, EVS, and EFVS-proposed courseware, which includes the training program and Operations Manuals, was evaluated operationally by the FSB in February 2020 at the Collins Aerospace facility in Wilsonville, Oregon and in March 2020 at the Bombardier Flight Test facility in Wichita, Kansas.
During the evaluation, which included a determination of the system’s operational suitability, the FSB found the Collins HUD and the Collins EVS operationally suitable for providing situational awareness for the crew.
NOTE: No determination of operational credit per 14 CFR part 91, § 91.176 was evaluated.
2. PILOT TYPE RATING REQUIREMENTS The pilot type rating established for the BD-100-1A10 is CL-30 and remains unchanged.
NOTE: The installation of the evaluated Collins HUD/EVS/EFVS is only available on the Challenger 350 model.
3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not applicable 4. PILOT TRAINING 4.1 HUD.
The Collins HUD pilot training requirements consists of those items related to standalone, initial, recurrent, transition, and upgrade training for both ground and flight.
Unless covered concurrently during an initial or recurrent type rating course, a prerequisite to beginning this course is prior training, qualification, and currency in the Challenger 350 airplane. It should be noted that the program focuses principally upon training events flown by the Left Seat Pilot (LSP)/PF.
Page 43 of 52 The Collins Aerospace training was evaluated and found to be suitable to provide the pilot with the necessary knowledge and skills to use the HUD system installed on the Challenger 350 during all phases of flight according to the approved AFM.
Pilot training is comprised of ground (theoretical) and flight (practical) training. The flight training portion must be accomplished using an FFS or an aircraft.
NOTE: During this FSB evaluation, no FFS was available. All determinations were conducted in an aircraft.
4.1.1 Ground Training.
The ground training segment hereafter presented has been found adequate to provide pilots with the necessary knowledge to understand the Collins HUD system characteristics, operating logics, procedures, and limitations to the appropriate standard in preparation for the appropriate flight training segment.
For all operators, the recommended ground training should include the following elements: • Operational concepts (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Benefits of HUD (initial, upgrade, and transition).
• Limitations (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Normal and abnormal procedures (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• System components and controls (initial, upgrade, transition and recurrent).
• Symbology and indications (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• HUD operations (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
The FSB recommends special emphasis in the following areas: a) Instruction covering Collins HUD operational concepts, crew duties and responsibilities, and operational procedures including preflight, normal, and non-normal pilot activities (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
b) Collins Aerospace published manuals or equivalent material availability which explains all modes of operation, the use of various HUD controls, clear descriptions of HUD symbology, including limit conditions and failures, and incorporating the crew procedures guide clearly delineating PF duties and responsibilities during all phases of flight during which HUD operations are anticipated. Emphasis on the availability and limitations of visual cues encountered on approach both before and after decision height (DH) (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
Page 44 of 52 4.1.2 Flight Training.
When an FFS is used, only FAA-approved Challenger 350 FFSs with both a visual and the Collins HUD system installed may be used. For FFS training, all required approaches should be flown from no closer than the FAF for instrument approaches and from no closer than approximately 1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) and 3 to 4 NM to the runway threshold for visual approaches.
The flight training segment hereafter presented is found adequate to provide the means for the pilot to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to safely and efficiently operate the Collins HUD through demonstration, instruction, and practice of maneuvers and procedures pertinent to the Collins HUD operation.
NOTE: When training is conducted in an aircraft, the following maneuvers may be amended as necessary for safety of flight.
For all operators, the recommended flight training should include the following elements: • Normal takeoff (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Airwork (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Instrument landing system (ILS) ceiling and visibility okay (CAVOK) (practice deviation of glideslope) (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Takeoff with engine failure at takeoff decision speed (V ) (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• ILS approach with OEI resulting in an OEI go-around (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Area Navigation (RNAV) approach and landing with OEI (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Normal takeoff with reduced visibility (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Non-precision approach resulting in a circle to landing (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Takeoff with wind shear (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Instrument approach encountering wind shear resulting in a go-around (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
• Visual approach and landing (initial, upgrade, transition, and recurrent).
The FSB recommends special emphasis in the following areas: a) Flight aspects related to the HUD unique symbology. Despite the fact the HUD is most commonly treated as a PFD repeater, there are elements displayed in the combiner that are not featured in PFD standard symbology or that are not identical to those depicted in the PFDs mostly due to the HUD monochromatic display characteristic (e.g., the low-speed awareness (LSA) tapes) (Initial, Upgrade, Transition, and Recurrent).
Page 45 of 52 b) Over-reliance on the HUD during circling approach. The need to stay “outside” the aircraft with the runway/airport environment visual as much as possible until established on inbound turn to final is important (Initial, Upgrade, Transition, and Recurrent).
c) Declutter mode transition at 1,500 ft (Initial, Upgrade, Transition, and Recurrent).
d) HUD stowage prior to entry/egress of left pilot seat (Initial, Upgrade, Transition and Recurrent).
4.2 EVS MFW.
The EVS MFW Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Operations Manuals (AFM, AOM, and QRH) were evaluated by this FSB and have been found suited to qualify flightcrews by means of their self-study. The FSB recommends special emphasis in the following area: EVS “visual” of any Approach Light System (ALS), RWY environment etc., does NOT constitute “RWY in sight” criteria.
4.3 EFVS.
Collins EFVS pilot training requirements consists of those related to initial training.
A prerequisite to this training is prior qualification and currency in the Challenger 350 airplane as well as in the HUD operation.
The Collins EFVS proposed training was evaluated and found suited to provide the pilots with the necessary knowledge and skills to use the Collins EFVS installed on the Challenger 350 during all phases of flight according to the approved AFM.
Pilot training is comprised of ground (theoretical) and flight (practical) training.
The flight training portion must be accomplished using an FFS or an aircraft.
Collins EFVS training is generally conducted as an established crew. However, a pilot training alone may attend the course with another pilot acting as a second crewmember.
The pilot acting as second crewmember must be: • A qualified and current Challenger 350 pilot; or • A qualified and current Challenger 350 flight instructor; or • Another pilot being trained in the same course.
4.3.1 Initial Ground Training.
The ground training segment hereafter presented has been found adequate to provide pilots with the necessary knowledge to understand EFVS characteristics, operating logics, procedures, and limitations to the appropriate standard in preparation for the initial flight training segment.
Page 46 of 52 For all operators, the recommended initial ground training should include the following elements as far as the Challenger 350 EFVS design characteristics permit: 4.3.1.1 General Operating Subjects: • General overview of the system.

• Crosswind conditions, including the use of caged and uncaged modes.
• Abnormal procedures and limitations.
• Briefings.
4.3.1.6 Human Factor Issues: • Interpretation of EFVS images.
• Visual anomalies.
• Misinterpretation of the IR video cues by the pilot.
• Familiarization to IR imagery.
• Effect of combining the EVS image with HUD symbology.
• Design eye position.
• Emphasize that the display of an IR image (2D image) in a HUD (narrow field of view (FOV)) that may result into some “tunneling” and “fascinating” effects.
• Visual effects.
4.3.2 Initial Flight Training.
When an FFS is used, only FAA-approved Challenger 350 FFSs with both a visual and the EFVS capabilities installed may be used. For FFS training, all required approaches should be flown from no closer than the FAF for instrument approaches and from no closer than approximately 1,000 ft AGL and 3 to 4 NM to the runway threshold for visual approaches.
The flight training segment hereafter presented has been found adequate to provide the means for the pilot to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to operate safely and efficiently EFVS through demonstration, instruction, and practice of maneuvers and procedures pertinent to EFVS operation.
Airports, departures, arrivals, and approaches pairings may be used at the discretion of the instructor in order to accommodate various crews and/or training needs.
The geographic local in which the crew operates predominately should be considered with city pairs, local regulations, operating units, and terminology adjusted accordingly.
Page 48 of 52 For all operators, the recommended initial flight training program should include the following elements as far as the Challenger 350 EFVS design characteristics permit: 4.3.2.1 Pre-Briefing Events: • Address simulated EFVS image quality versus actual aircraft.
• Some visual effects cannot be replicated in the FFS.
• HUD/EFVS display brightness may be different than that in the aircraft.
4.3.2.2 Preflight Procedures: • Seat positioning/Design eye position: Design eyebox and cockpit cutoff angle.
• Rudder pedal adjustment.
• EFVS setup.
• Displays, modes, annunciations, and adjustments for brightness and contrast.

5. PILOT CHECKING (2)
4.3.2.7 Abnormal and Emergency Procedures: System malfunction presented during the approach.
4.3.2.7.1 Crew task allocations, crew coordination, and callouts pertinent to EFVS operations must be reinforced during training.
4.3.2.7.2 The FSB recommends special emphasis in the following areas: a) IR theory and associated limitations. The pilots should be made aware of the general IR theory and the characteristics of the EFVS image, including the dependency of the image on the weather conditions or any meteorological phenomena that may potentially degrade the EFVS image and may require it to be removed.
b) EFVS visual cues not in same place with various flap settings.
c) Both Visual Approach Slope Indicators (VASI) and Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) coloration under EFVS are monochromatic and must not be used.
5. PILOT CHECKING The pilot will have successfully completed the ground training when the pilot displays adequate working knowledge of the HUD/EFVS to pass an oral or written examination covering HUD/EFVS operations.
Upon conclusion of the flight training segment the pilot must complete a proficiency check in which he or she must successfully demonstrate appropriate HUD/EFVS flight maneuvers and procedures in simulated flight in accordance with the appropriate operating procedures and within the tolerances specified in the ATP and Type Rating for Airplane ACS.
Checking requires a proficiency check conducted in a Level C FFS, with a daylight visual display or in a Level D FFS, which have been qualified by the National Simulator Program (NSP) for HUD/EFVS. A HUD/EFVS-equipped Challenger 350 aircraft may also be utilized.
This check can be accomplished concurrently with a proficiency or competency check under §§ 61.57 and 61.58, or §§ 135.293 and 135.297.
