FAA certification took place in November 1980, and deliveries began in early 1981.


Because the Challenger 600 was underpowered, Canadair soon developed an upgraded version of the aircraft dubbed the 601-1A, equipped with winglets and 8,650-pound-thrust GE CF34-1A engines.


A production model Challenger 601-1A flew for the first time in September 1982, and won FAA certification in March 1983.


Other organizations that flew the 601-1A included Canada’s department of transport (which used the airplane for flight inspection), Canada’s department of national defense, the People’s Republic of China, and Germany’s Luftwaffe—which operated a combination cargo/passenger version and an air ambulance model.
