N1989F

This airframe, registered as N1989F, is a Dassault Falcon 50 built in 1982 with manufacturer serial number 115. The jet is listed in the U.S. registry as owned by the corporation FLAGSHIP JET LEASING 115 LLC, based in New Castle, Delaware, United States; this corporate ownership is the principal recorded ownership detail for the type certificate holder/operator records. The airframe’s estimated market value is $3,000,000, reflecting an older mid‑size tri‑jet in continued operational service rather than a freshly refurbished demonstrator. No specific bespoke interior configuration for N1989F is publicly published beyond typical fleet standards.

The cabin for this airframe is reported generically as a typical Falcon 50 executive layout accommodating 8–9 passengers in a forward galley, club seating arrangement, and an aft lavatory, although the specific interior for N1989F is not publicly published. Avionics inventories for similar Falcon 50s indicate upgraded Collins Pro Line‑style suites and Collins TCAS II; reported installed items on available inventories include a Collins ADF‑60 and an Artex 406 MHz ELT, which are consistent with the avionics package expected aboard N1989F. Typical missions for this model and operator profile include transcontinental corporate transport and lease or charter operations from a U.S. base, taking advantage of the aircraft’s long range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations reflect tri‑jet complexity and older systems, prompting routine avionics and engine shop visits commensurate with corporate leasing operations.

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies a niche as an early long‑range, three‑engine business jet offering transoceanic capability and higher redundancy than twinjets of its era. Competitors historically included other long‑range midsize jets; in today’s market the Falcon 50 competes on range and climb performance rather than modern cabin systems. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N1989F is driven by price, proven reliability of the TFE731 engines, and availability of avionics upgrades, while resale and maintenance considerations reflect the need for ongoing avionics modernization and airframe life‑cycle management.
