Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy

The Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy is a large business jet that has been making waves in the private aviation industry since its production span from 2004 to 2009.

Its inception is a story of continuous innovation and persistence that has come to define its manufacturer, Dassault Aviation – one of the leading aerospace companies in the world.

Dassault Aviation, a French-based company with a reputation for producing high-quality military and civil aircraft, embarked on the ambitious project of developing the Falcon 2000EX EASy at the turn of the 21st century.

The aim was to enhance the features of the existing Falcon 2000 series, with a particular focus on extending the range and improving the avionics. The result was a jet that not only met but exceeded expectations.

The Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy, known for its exceptional performance and comfort, soon carved out a significant niche for itself in the private jet landscape. Today, it continues to be admired for its unique blend of luxury, efficiency, and innovative technology.

Within the Falcon business jet line of aircraft, the 2000 series is the smallest aircraft produced.

Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines, each offering a thrust output of 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg), the aircraft is built for speed and efficiency.

The jet achieves a high-speed cruise of 482 knots (893 km/h), allowing for quick transits, and a long-range cruise speed of 442 knots (818 km/h) which facilitates optimized fuel consumption over longer journeys.

The Falcon 2000EX EASy can ascend to a maximum altitude of 47,000 feet (14,326 meters), placing it well above turbulent weather patterns and commercial air traffic.

Furthermore, the aircraft has an impressive range of 4,045 nautical miles (7,491 kilometers), giving the 2000EX EASy transcontinental range.

In terms of ground performance, it is requires at least 5,585 feet (1,702 meters) of runway to takeoff and has a minimum landing distance of only 2,640 feet (804 meters). These figures enable the 2000EX EASy to be capable of operating at London City Airport.

In fact, the 2000EX EASy was the very first Dassault business jet certified for the steep approaches.

These performance figures represent the best-case scenario and actual performance may vary. Factors such as weather conditions, the number of passengers, the weight of luggage, and the chosen departure and destination airports can influence the jet’s range and ground performance.

With an interior width of 7.7 feet (2.3 meters), a length of 31.2 feet (9.5 meters), and a height of 6.2 feet (1.9 meters), the cabin offers a spacious environment designed for comfort and efficiency. Naturally, this cabin is smaller than the larger Falcon jets in the lineup, however, it is still spacious.

The roomy interior allows for a maximum of 10 passengers, typically accommodated in the same configuration. This arrangement includes a forward 4-place club with writing tables for meetings on the go, a conference table, and a club-four arrangement found at the aft of the cabin.

There’s also a club-two arrangement to offer passengers flexible seating options.

The aircraft’s high-class performance extends to the air quality inside the cabin, with a remarkable maximum cabin altitude of 7,200 feet (2,195 meters) and maintaining a sea level cabin until reaching 25,300 feet (7,711 meters). This ensures passengers arrive refreshed at their destination.

This model is outfitted with the Honeywell EASy integrated modular avionics suite and cockpit display system, a notable upgrade from the Collins Pro Line 4 system found in the 2000 and 2000EX models.

The EASy system fundamentally enhances the pilot’s situational awareness, aiding in workload reduction and promoting seamless operation. In addition to this, the 2000EX EASy model underwent significant changes in pressurization and oxygen systems, allowing for improved performance and increased safety.

Chartering the Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy comes with an estimated cost of $5,400 per hour in North America.

This figure, however, is subject to change based on several factors. The final price can vary depending on the duration of the flight, the distance to be traveled, and the number of passengers.

Also, costs can fluctuate according to the season and the current demand for private jets. Other variables such as the location of the aircraft before your flight, and any additional services requested (like catering or ground transport), can also influence the total cost.
