Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N179C, is a 2023-build Dassault Falcon 8X with manufacturer serial number 502. The airframe is owned by the Delaware-based corporation GENERAL AVILEASING INC and is registered in the US, with the owner's corporate location listed as Wilmington, Delaware. The registry records the aircraft as an executive VIP-configured cabin carrying 11 seats; its most recent valuation is $59,296,900. The aircraft’s entry into the U.S. civil registry under a corporate lessor reflects contemporary market placement of late-build Falcon 8Xs for corporate and charter service.
The registry lists an Executive VIP cabin for N179C, configured with 11 seats; Falcon 8X cabins are typically configurable up to approximately 16 passengers depending on layout choices. This specific installation is fitted with the 3rd-generation EASy flightdeck (Honeywell Primus Epic) and offers the optional FalconEye combined vision capability, supporting both low-visibility approaches and enhanced situational awareness. Typical missions for this airframe class include long-range corporate point-to-point flights and executive charter operations, leveraging a transoceanic range of 6,450 nm and a long-range cruise near 475 kts. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft focus on three-engine PW307D support cycles and avionics software/upgrade paths for the EASy/FalconEye suite under corporate operator oversight based in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Dassault Falcon 8X occupies the long-range, ultra-long-range business jet niche within Dassault’s trijet family, emphasizing range, efficiency and advanced avionics. Competing models typically include ultra-long-range twins from Gulfstream and Bombardier; the Falcon 8X differentiates with three-engine redundancy and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft. Buyer and charter demand for late-build examples centers on cabin flexibility and advanced flight deck systems; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine maintenance status for the PW307Ds and avionics lifecycle of the Honeywell 3rd-generation EASy/FalconEye fit.
