Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N261CH, is a 2011-build Dassault Falcon 900EX, serial number 261, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by SEECON BUILDERS INC, a corporation based in Concord, CA, US. Operational details for this specific airframe indicate a long-range, high-ceiling configuration typical of late-model Falcon 900EX builds; ownership is held by a corporate entity rather than an individual operator, and valuation or public condition reports are not published. Registry entries and operator basing point to corporate transport and potential charter or executive use from the Concord, California area.
The cabin of this Falcon 900EX is certificated for 21-place seating, indicating a high-density corporate or charter interior layout rather than a private, owner-fitted VIP lounge. Avionics fit includes the Dassault EASy suite with Honeywell systems; reported installed items on this airframe include Collins HF-9000 COMM, Honeywell 880 weather radar, and Honeywell RT-300 radio altimeter, though final fit can vary by airframe. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize long-range transcontinental or transoceanic flights, leveraging the 4,500 nm range and high cruise altitude to operate efficiently for corporate transport. Maintenance considerations follow trijet-specific schedules for the Honeywell TFE731-60 engines and airframe-specific avionics support agreements.
The Dassault Falcon 900EX family occupies the long-range, three-engine midsize-to-large cabin niche, prized for transoceanic capability, redundancy, and flexible field performance. Competing models in the same mission space include large-cabin twins and other long-range trijets, with buyers valuing the Falcon’s range (4,500 nm), cruise speed (430 kts), and 51,000 ft service ceiling. Market and resale considerations for this 2011 Falcon include continued demand for well-equipped, factory-standard EASy-equipped airframes and the cost and availability of maintenance for trijet systems, avionics upgrades, and Honeywell engine support programs.
