Operations & Cabin

This specific Falcon 900C airframe is configured with 12 seats, consistent with long-range corporate transport missions typical of the model. The three-engine layout and the installed Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1C powerplants support transcontinental and offshore routing within the aircraft’s 3,995 nm range and allow cruise operations around 459 kts at altitudes up to 51,000 ft. Based in Cincinnati, OH, the owner/operator’s missions likely include executive transport, business travel, and point-to-point charters requiring higher payload and redundancy than twin-engine designs. Cabin fitment specifics and avionics suite for this serial are not published; maintenance considerations follow the Falcon 900C’s three-engine inspection and component-life practices, with emphasis on Honeywell TFE731-series engine support and airframe checks appropriate to a 2003-build jet.

Model & Market Context

The Dassault Falcon 900C family occupies the trijet, long-range, midsize-cabin niche, offering redundancy and range that appeal to owners requiring overwater capability and higher payload flexibility. Competitors in mission and market include midsize and large-cabin twinjets with similar range but different operating economics. For this 2003 airframe (serial 197), buyer and charter demand hinge on maintenance history, avionics standardization, and engine program participation for the TFE731-5BR-1C units; these factors strongly influence resale and lifecycle costs.
