Where it can go
Estimates from the published range of 3,400 nm (Theoretical maximum, four passengers and two crew, NBAA IFR reserves, Mach 0.77, ISA +15°C takeoff). We call a trip nonstop when it is within 80% of that figure, to leave margin for winds and load.

Which Challenger 300 you may fly
All three are one certified type, BD-100-1A10, so FAA registration records cannot tell them apart. The 350 and 3500 share engines, cabin dimensions and baggage space; the 3500 adds a redesigned cabin, a lower cabin altitude and a standard autothrottle.
