Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N256A, is a Dassault Falcon 50 built in 1987 by Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation) with serial number 172. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation UNLIMITED BOAT SALES INC based in Page, AZ, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe’s known history centers on corporate ownership in Page, Arizona, with registration and operator listings reflecting corporate use rather than airline or governmental operation. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the supplied data; maintenance and avionics upgrades are indicated by the fit of a modern integrated flight deck described below.

The cabin of this Falcon 50 is configured as a nine-passenger executive arrangement described in sales material, with a forward four‑place club, an aft three‑place divan opposite two single seats, and a forward galley; brochure text also references forward and aft seating positions. The aircraft’s avionics suite is a full Collins ProLine 21 with IFIS, incorporating dual FMC-6000, dual GPS-4000S, TCAS-4000, and Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, supporting long-range corporate missions and IFR interoperability. Typical missions for this airframe would include transcontinental or intercontinental executive travel within its 3,500 nm capability at cruise speeds near 479 kts, operating from the owner’s Page, Arizona base and similar regional corporate hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific ship include three-engine systems and the support logistics tied to Honeywell TFE731-series engines and ProLine avionics line-replaceable units.

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies a mid-size long-range business jet niche characterized by three-engine redundancy, transoceanic capability and a high service ceiling of 49,000 ft. Comparable competitors historically include other long-range trijets and twin-engine large-cabin business jets offering similar range and speed; buyers value the Falcon 50 for its redundancy and cabin layout. Market and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on avionics modernization, engine hours on the TFE731-3D-1C powerplants, and provenance tied to corporate ownership and maintenance records.
