RESEARCH NOTES

About N171TG

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, registered as N171TG, is a 1997-built Dassault Falcon 50EX manufactured by Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation) with serial number 251. The jet is recorded as being owned by the corporate entity Big Blue Express LLC, located in Jupiter, FL, US, and bears a US registration. The aircraft’s documented history for this entry highlights its corporate ownership and home-base association with Jupiter, Florida; no additional public registry actions are noted in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this Falcon 50EX is typically fitted in an 8-9 executive layout featuring a double-club forward seating bay, a divan and two forward-facing seats, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the configuration may vary by owner. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line, with many EX-series aircraft commonly receiving the Pro Line 4 upgrade, which affects mission capability and systems support. With a long-range capability of 3,388 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and overwater corporate missions operated from its Jupiter, Florida base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include tri-jet engine management (three TFE731 series powerplants) and avionics upgrade paths dictated by owner preferences.

Model & Market Context

The Falcon 50EX occupies a long-range, mid-size business jet niche as a tri-jet offering higher cruise altitudes (up to 49,000 ft) and extended range relative to earlier light-cabin types. Buyers and charter operators often value the model for overwater capability and flexibility of cabin layouts accommodating up to 10 passengers. Market and resale considerations for this airframe type include lifecycle and support of the three TFE731 engines, avionics upgrade status (e.g., Pro Line versus Pro Line 4), and age-related maintenance items for airframes built in the late 1990s such as this 1997 serial 251 example.
