N117KG

This entry covers airframe N117KG, a 2002-build Dassault Falcon 900EX with manufacturer serial number 108. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by TGV 900 LLC, an Allentown, PA–based limited liability company, reflecting a single-entity ownership recorded in broker and registry summaries. Notable equipment and upgrade references are listed in broker/upgrade notes, and the airframe is valued at $9,900,000 in current listings. No additional historical operators or multiple registry actions are published for this specific tail in the supplied data.

The cabin of N117KG is fitted in an executive 12‑passenger layout consisting of four forward club seats, a four‑place dining group, a three‑place aft divan and a single aft executive chair, together with forward and aft lavatories and a galley as described in the broker listing. Avionics and mission systems include a triple Honeywell FMZ-2000 (LPV) fit, Laseref IV FMS, Avance L5 communications, and a Flight Dynamics HGS-2850 HUD noted in upgrade records, supporting precision approaches and enhanced situational awareness. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would encompass long-range business transcontinental or international trips within its 4,500 nm capability at a cruise near 450 kts, operated from an Allentown, PA base under the owning LLC. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with high-utilization, multi-engine turbofan schedules and the documented avionics upgrade pedigree.

The Dassault Falcon 900EX family occupies the long-range, three‑engine business jet niche, prized for transoceanic capability, high service ceiling and redundancy from its three Honeywell TFE731 engines. Competitors in the market niche include large-cabin long-range twins and other tri-jets offering similar mission flexibility; buyer and charter demand typically favors airframes with modern avionics packages like the FMZ-2000 and HUD noted here. Resale considerations for N117KG include age (2002 build), completed upgrades, and the aircraft’s current valuation of $9,900,000, which together influence maintenance reserves and charter rate competitiveness.
