The Bombardier Challenger 350 is the Naples super midsize sweet spot. APF’s 6,600-foot main runway takes the 350 comfortably at typical winter weights, the 3,200-nautical-mile range covers every Northeast, Midwest, and Canadian snowbird origin nonstop with a full cabin, and the flat-floor stand-up cabin fits eight to ten passengers on the transcon legs a Phenom 300 or CJ4 cannot fly.
Bombardier certified the Challenger 350 in 2014 as the successor to the Challenger 300, with uprated Honeywell HTF7350 engines, redesigned winglets, and interior updates. Seats eight to ten, cruises at 470 knots (long-range 459 kt, high-speed to 470 kt) at up to 45,000 feet, delivers 3,200 nautical miles of range, and carries 106 cubic feet of baggage. Belted lavatory.

Why the Bombardier Challenger 350 Fits Naples
APF’s runway handles the 350 without a hot-day weight penalty in typical Naples conditions. That means the transcontinental trip that started at APF ends at APF; the 350 does not force a repositioning to RSW for departure fuel the way a heavy jet can on a summer afternoon.
Range at 3,200 nautical miles opens APF to the West Coast (LAX-area, SFO-area) nonstop with a full cabin and to London (EGGW, EGLF) via a tech stop for the transatlantic pairing. Every Northeast, Midwest, and Canadian snowbird route is trivial; Aspen (ASE) is a normal winter leg.
The stand-up cabin with fly-by-wire commonality to the Global family is one reason snowbird owners running a Challenger fleet or considering an ownership program keep landing on the 350 for the Naples pattern. Cabin comfort is the sell over any midsize.
