N224NC

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N224NC, a 1996-built Dassault Falcon 2000, serial number 42, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The airframe has been owned by COLLIER COMPANIES AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Gainesville, FL, US, and is U.S.-registered. Public records for notable registry actions and valuation detail are not published; maintenance and operational history beyond owner identity are not published.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a two-zone executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting a typical 10–14 passenger executive seating arrangement and documented as a 14-seat configuration for maximum occupancy. Operated from its owner’s base in Gainesville, FL, US, the Falcon 2000 airframe is configured for executive transport missions including transcontinental and Gulf-to-Caribbean sectors consistent with its 3,250 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 447 kts. Specific avionics fit and equipment list for this serial are not published. Given the twin-engine layout (model powerplants listed for the type), routine maintenance considerations align with business-jet practices for compound turbofan engines and two-engine systems, while the two-zone cabin supports mixed passenger/catering usages common to corporate operators.

The Dassault Falcon 2000 family occupies the mid-size twinjet business-jet niche, offering long-range capability and transcontinental mission flexibility exemplified by this airframe’s 3,250 nm range and 47,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in the market segment typically include other mid-to-large-cabin twinjets offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand historically focuses on cabin comfort, operating economics, and dispatch reliability. For this specific 1996 serial 42, owners and buyers typically weigh airframe age, avionics modernization needs, engine program status, and maintenance records when assessing resale or continued corporate operation.
