N244A

The airframe bearing registration N244A is a 1979-built Dassault Falcon 10, constructor serial number 145, manufactured by Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and is noted in records primarily by its civil registration and serial—further public ownership and operator lineage are not published. No independent valuation or current-condition inspection summaries are provided in the available data; condition and market valuation are likewise not published. Registry actions beyond the US registration are not recorded in the supplied dataset.

This specific Falcon 10 airframe is configured to carry 7 occupants, consistent with light business-jet single-cabin layouts common to the model; detailed cabin plan and finish level are not published. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems for this serial are not provided in the dataset, so equipment standards are assumed to follow typical Falcon 10 installations for its production era. With a maximum practical cruise near 428 knots and a transcontinental-ish range of 1,800 nm, typical missions for this aircraft would include regional and medium-range executive transport, point-to-point business shuttles, and charter legs within continental USA distances. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on legacy systems and the twin Garrett TFE731 turbofan pair, which drive common inspection and component-repair cycles for late-1970s Falcon series jets.

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies the light-cabin business-jet niche, offering higher cruise and ceiling performance than many contemporaneous small jets while retaining compact cabin capacity (7 seats) and efficient twin turbofan operation. Its cruise speed near 428 kts and service ceiling of 45,000 ft position it competitively against light jets of its era, though modern avionics and interior expectations can influence buyer demand. Common buyer and charter interest is typically driven by low-cycle airframes with robust engine support; the presence of Garrett TFE731 engines aids aftermarket support but also implies attention to age-related component life limits in resale and maintenance planning. Resale considerations for this specific US-registered airframe hinge on inspection results and equipment upgrades beyond the supplied factory data.
