RESEARCH NOTES

About N1989B

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

Overview

This airframe, registered as N1989B, is a Dassault-Breguet Falcon 10 built in 1988 with manufacturer serial number 217. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporate entity N455JW LLC, based in Missoula, MT, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe’s documented history centers on that corporate ownership and its operation from the Missoula area; no additional registry events are published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not provided beyond the aircraft's specification set.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin fit of this Falcon 10 is described as a typical executive layout offering 6-8 place executive seating with forward galley, while the aircraft is certificated for 11 seats, indicating a common conversion to a lower-count, higher-comfort executive configuration for business or charter use. Avionics on many Falcon 10 examples incorporate Collins components, and various Collins/Pro Line suites are reported depending on retrofit status; specific avionics fit for this serial is not detailed beyond that industry pattern. Operating out of Missoula, MT under corporate ownership, the aircraft suits short- to mid-range corporate missions consistent with its 1,920 nm range and high-speed cruise capability, and maintenance considerations would follow the twin TFE731 turbofan support and typical Falcon 10 airframe programs.

Model & Market Context

The Dassault-Breguet Falcon 10 occupies a light-cabin twin business jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speed and transregional range for its class, exemplified by a 452 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. Its Garrett TFE731 powerplants and common executive cabin conversions support corporate and charter demand where speed and runway performance are prioritized. Competing models in the light twin sector target similar missions; buyers and operators typically weigh retrofit avionics packages, interior reconfiguration from the certificated 11 seats to executive layouts, and ongoing maintenance of older chassis when assessing resale and operational economics.
