Description

The wing is an all-metal, advanced-technology airfoil, manufactured as a single unit and bolted to
the bottom of the fuselage. The wing incorporates ailerons, flaps, flight and ground spoilers,
internal fuel tanks, and the support structure for the main landing gear. Thermal anti-icing is
incorporated into the polished aluminum wing leading edges. The attached winglets are made of
Kevlar, and significantly reduce drag.

Components

Fuel Tanks

The wing contains fuel in three areas. The right and left wings contain the main tanks (between
the spars), and the wing center section forms the auxiliary tank. A bulkhead on either side of the
wing center section separates the auxiliary and wing tanks.

Main Landing Gear

The main landing gear, mounted in the wings, are conventional oleopneumatic, shock-absorbing
struts, fitted with two wheels on each strut.

FUSELAGE

Description

The CL–605 fuselage is a semimonocoque structure, and is made up of three sections: the nose,
center and tail sections. The nose section includes the nose landing gear and flight compartment,
while the center section includes the avionics area and cabin. The wing, which contains the main
landing gear, is bolted to the fuselage behind the avionics bay. The tail section encloses an
equipment bay, and supports the engines and empennage.

Components

Nose Section

The nose section contains:

• The flight compartment, comprising instrument panels, airplane controls, and crew
stations;
• The underfloor area, with compartments for brake accumulators and controls, an
air-driven generator, the forward avionics bay, flight control mechanisms and the

DOORS AND EMERGENCY EXIT (CONT'D)

Passenger Door Operation

The door is closed from inside by an electrically-powered assist mechanism. The mechanism is
activated by a two-position switch, located on the interior of the fuselage, forward of the top
corner of the door.
To close the passenger door from the inside:
• Operate the cabin door switch to raise the door (use the DOOR PULL-UP ASSIST
HANDLE, if required);
• Fully seat the door using the DOOR PULL−IN GRIP;
• Latch the door by moving the INNER HANDLE downward to its stop (confirm all four
rotary latch green marks are aligned);
• Pull the internal T-HANDLE to stow the EXTERNAL HANDLE (external handle stow is
confirmed by an audible click and a green locked indicator showing in the viewing
window); and
• Stow the internal T-HANDLE by pushing it back into its recessed position.
The door is closed from the outside by lifting and pushing it to the vertical closed position, flush
with the fuselage. The EXTERNAL HANDLE is rotated clockwise to latch the cams, and is then
stowed by pushing it into its recessed position.
The door is opened from the inside by lifting the INNER HANDLE, which releases the
EXTERNAL HANDLE from its recess. The continued upward travel of the INNER HANDLE
unlatches the door-locking mechanism. As the door opens, the handrails unfold upward. A
PULL-UP ASSIST HANDLE is attached to the rear of the door, to assist in controlling the fall of
the door as it opens.
The door is opened from outside by pressing the TRIGGER PLATE on the EXTERNAL
HANDLE, which releases the handle from its recess. Rotating the EXTERNAL HANDLE
counterclockwise unlatches the door.
A hinged pressurization flap is installed in the door, to release excess cabin pressure before the
door locks are released. When the door is fully opened, a support leg extends to the ground to
stabilize the door. The EXTERNAL HANDLE incorporates a keylock mechanism.

Cargo/Baggage Door

The cargo/baggage compartment door is located on the left side of the airplane, immediately
behind the passenger compartment.

Cargo/Baggage Door Operation

The door may be opened from inside or outside. The door opens inward and upward on two
tracks attached to the structure. Balance springs and cables are attached to assist in opening.
The door is held closed by two plungers, which are operated by an external HANDLE. Two
plunger-activated proximity switches provide an indication in the flight compartment if the door is
not properly closed. The external handle provides a keyed security lock. This handle is kept
flush with the door by a catch, which operates automatically when the handle is aligned with its
recess and pushed in.
To open the door from the inside, rotate the inner handle clockwise and lift the door upward. To
close the door from the inside, position the door in place and rotate the handle counterclockwise
to lock the door in position, then pull the knob inwards to stow the external handle.
To open the door from the outside, push in the handle unstow button. This will unstow the
handle, which then can be rotated counterclockwise to unlock the door. Push the door upward to
open. To close the door, position the door in its opening, and rotate the handle clockwise to
align with its recess. Push the handle into its recess to complete the process.

An emergency exit is located on the right side of the cabin over the wing. The emergency exit is
a plug-type window exit which opens inward. The exit can be opened from inside or outside of
the airplane.

Emergency Exit Operation

The inside unlatching handle has “EXIT PULL” marked on the handle. The marking is easily
readable during daylight or darkness. A hand grip is located just below the window, to support
the weight of the door when opening from the inside.
To open the emergency exit from the inside, grasp the upper quick-release handle and the lower
hand grip. Pull the quick-release handle inward, and lift the weight of the door with the lower
hand. Place the door aside to allow easy egress from the airplane.

CREW SEATS

Description

The Challenger 605 is equipped with two fully adjustable flight deck crew seats.

Crew Seat Adjustment

The crew seats provide adjustment fore and aft, as well as for height, recline and armrest
position.
The fore and aft adjustment lever is located on the seat base at the rear inboard position,
approximately below the pilot’s inboard elbow. Moving this lever rearward allows the seat to be
rolled fore and aft along its tracks.
The height adjustment lever is located on the seat base at the forward outboard position,
approximately below the pilot’s outboard knee. Moving this lever downward allows the seat to be
raised or lowered, using the pilot’s legs to move the seat. A handhold is located above the pilot’s
head on the overheard panel, to further assist in the adjustment.

CAUTION
Use caution when operating the adjustment lever for seat height.
Be careful not to pinch fingers in the scissor movement of the seat
adjustment mechanism.
The recline adjustment lever is located on the seat base at the rear outboard position,
approximately below the pilot’s outboard elbow. Moving this lever rearward allows the recline to
be adjusted.
Armrest adjustment is accomplished by pushing in the adjustment button, located on the front
end of each armrest, and positioning the armrest as desired. Release the button to lock the
armrest in its new position.

Eye Locator – Seat Adjustment

An eye locator is mounted on the center windshield post to enable seat adjustment for proper
eye-to-wheel height.

Crew Seat Adjustment Using Eye Locator

The seat position is adjusted with the appropriate control levers to obtain the optimum
eye-reference position relative to the eye-reference position datum located on the forward
center window post. The handhold in the overheard panel is used to assist in positioning the
seat. Without rotating his/her head away from the forward-facing position, the pilot looks towards
the ball indicators, and adjusts the seat as necessary.

NOTE
The correct eye-reference position is established when the white
indicator ball appears in the center of the orange ball. The resulting
eye level should be approximately in the center of the forward
window.
