N227GJ

This article describes a single airframe, tail N227GJ, a 1987-build Dassault Falcon 50 with serial number 182. The aircraft is manufactured by Dassault Aviation and is recorded as owned by DSB DOCK SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Pilot Point, TX, US; it is operated/registered in the US. Notable registry and ownership actions include its documented association with DSB DOCK SERVICES LLC in Pilot Point, Texas, and its market valuation is listed at $1,900,000 reflecting its age and retrofit history. Condition highlights derive from reported avionics retrofits and the typical executive interior configuration for this airframe.

The cabin for this specific Falcon 50 is the typical 8–10 place executive layout, noted as a Typical 8–10 place executive layout (forward galley, aft lavatory), and for this airframe seating is identified as 10. Avionics fit varies on the airframe with reported retrofits including Collins EFIS / Collins Pro-Line (various retrofits reported), indicating modernization efforts to sustain operational capability. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with business/transport missions within its transcontinental short-to-medium range capability, leveraging a cruise speed of 420 kts and a range of 3,057 nm; the owner/operator base in Pilot Point, TX, suggests regional US operations. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft reflect its age (1987) and three-engine Garrett TFE731 powerplant configuration requiring specialized support and parts common to late-model Falcon 50 airframes.

The airframe belongs to the Dassault Falcon 50 family, a trijet executive transport positioned for long-range business missions with a high-altitude ceiling of 49,000 ft and cruise performance near 420 kts. Competing models in its niche have included twinjets with comparable ranges but differing operating economics; the Falcon 50’s three-engine layout provides distinct performance and redundancy characteristics. Buyer and charter demand for late-1980s Falcon 50s tends to focus on availability of avionics retrofits and overall maintenance history, factors reflected in this airframe’s valuation of $1,900,000 and documented Collins-system upgrades.
