Challenger 600 series

Hi all

Some time next year my boss is planning on getting either a 601 (later series) or a 604. It's got the cabin he wants and probably the range. In fact it seems like a great plane. I fly an Excel so it's definitely a nice step up!

Now I know a little about the take off accidents, one at BHX and the other somewhere in central Asia. Does the plane have any greater issues with ice compared to other swept wing machines without slats, eg. Legacy, Sovereign etc? Do you have to be more careful than on other types during rotation in icing not to over cook it? If so why?

How does range compare between a 601-3A and a 604? I know the ratings are different.

Cheers.
