N220CV

This article covers the individual airframe bearing registration N220CV, a 1988-built Dassault Falcon 10 with manufacturer's serial number 220, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The airframe is owned by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US, which indicates the aircraft has been held in a corporate parts or asset role rather than active airline operation. The airframe is registered in the US and carries an 11-place certified cabin; valuation records associated with this entry list a market value of $600,000, reflecting its age and role in the secondary market. Ownership by a parts-focused company suggests limited flight activity and potential use in component recovery, storage, or transitional ownership.

The registered cabin configuration for N220CV is an 11-place seating layout, consistent with the documented certified capacity, indicating a compact corporate or executive interior optimized for small-group transport. Specific avionics fit and interior finish for this airframe are not published here, but typical operation for an aircraft in this ownership context would include sporadic ferry flights, part-out activity, or limited charter use if retained airworthy. Based in Rantoul, KS, US through its corporate owner, operational missions likely emphasize short to mid-range transcontinental hops within the aircraft's 1,800 nm range and high-speed cruise at 428 kts. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe are influenced by age (1988 build) and the presence of TFE731-series engines, with parts support and life-limited components potentially driving its use as a parts source.

The Dassault Falcon 10 airframe represented by N220CV sits within a small-cabin, light business jet segment characterized by relatively high cruise speed and transcontinental capability for its class, here evidenced by a 45,000 ft ceiling and 428 kts cruise. Competing models in the broad market niche historically include other light jets equipped with two medium-bypass turbofan engines; buyer interest for a 1988 airframe is typically from specialist operators, owners seeking a low-cost platform, or parts companies. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific Falcon 10 reflect its vintage, the condition implied by a $600,000 valuation, and the availability of Garrett TFE731-series engine support, all of which influence demand and the aircraft's probable disposition as active service, storage, or part-out.
