N131LG

This article describes airframe N131LG, a Dassault Falcon 900B built by Dassault Aviation in 1988, serial number 055. The jet is registered in the US and is documented as owned by CHARTER EXPRESS INC, a corporation based in Little Rock, AR, US. The airframe has recorded retrofit activity including a documented 2020 Duncan Aviation STC reconfiguration affecting the cabin layout and broker-documented avionics upgrades; current market valuation is listed at $7,500,000. The airframe is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft and shows multiple origin systems from Primus/Collins/Honeywell depending on retrofit history.

The cabin on N131LG is documented with a 2020 Duncan Aviation STC reconfiguration permitting up to 16 passengers in an alternate layout (eight single seats plus two 4-place divans), while the original certified executive configurations were commonly 12 passengers. Avionics have been described in broker material as including a Universal Avionics flight-deck upgrade, with retained or previous equipment of Primus/Collins/Honeywell origins depending on individual retrofit work. Operated from Little Rock, AR under corporate ownership, the airframe is typically suited to transcontinental and long-range charter missions within the documented 3,950 nm capability and high-altitude cruise performance. Maintenance considerations reflect Type-support for Honeywell TFE731 engines and varying avionics fleets driven by staged upgrades.

The Dassault Falcon 900B family occupies the long-range, three-engine midsize to large-cabin niche, offering range and high-altitude capability compared with twin-engine business jets. Competing models are larger-cabin or long-range offerings from Bombardier and Gulfstream in similar mission classes. For N131LG, buyer and charter demand are influenced by its documented STC cabin flexibility, flight-deck upgrade history, and mid-era airframe age (1988), all of which affect maintenance scheduling, parts sourcing, and resale valuation around the listed $7,500,000.
