N1900B 1996 Dassault Falcon 900EX

Overview

This article covers the individual airframe bearing registration N1900B, a 1996-built Dassault Falcon 900EX with manufacturer serial number 003. The airframe is recorded in U.S. registry ownership by the corporate lessor PHH Leasing LLC, located in Dallas, TX, US, and carries a U.S. registration (US). The registry entry notes a high-density seating arrangement and no other public changes of ownership are listed in the provided data; registered in a high-density 21-seat configuration is a notable registry annotation. Valuation and condition summaries are not published in the supplied dataset.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured in a high-density passenger layout with 21 seats as shown on the registry, which is atypical for long-range business jet interiors and indicative of charter or shuttle missions rather than traditional executive layouts. Avionics fitment specifics are not published in the supplied data; operational use implied by the seating and lessor ownership typically includes regional and transcontinental point-to-point passenger transport within the aircraft’s 4,500 nm range. Based in Dallas through its corporate owner, the aircraft would be operated under standards applicable to corporate lessors and charter operators, with maintenance considerations driven by three-engine systems and Honeywell TFE731-60 engine support infrastructure. Unique maintenance considerations for this airframe include attention to tri-jet systems common to the Falcon 900 family and engine support for the TFE731-60 engines.

Model & Market Context

The Dassault Falcon 900EX occupies a niche as a long-range, tri-engine business jet offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a high service ceiling of 51,000 ft and cruise speeds near 447 kts. In the market, it competes against large-cabin long-range twins and other legacy tri-jet designs for corporate, fractional, and charter buyers; the high-density 21-seat interior of this specific airframe targets higher passenger-density missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model typically reflect parts and engine support for the TFE731 series, the costs associated with older 1990s airframes, and demand from lessors and charter operators seeking proven long-range platforms.
