Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N278GH is a 2001-built Dassault Falcon 2000 with serial number 141. The aircraft is FAA-registered in the United States and is currently owned by TDSAIR LLC, an LLC based in Fishers, Indiana, which serves as the operator/home base for this airframe. Registration and ownership are recorded under TDSAIR LLC in U.S. civil registry records, and valuation records list the airframe at approximately $4,500,000, reflecting its market condition and age. No other historic operators or transfers are published in the provided data.

This specific Falcon 2000 is FAA-registered with a certified seating configuration of 14 seats, while typical executive interiors for the model are operator-specific and commonly arranged for 8–10 passengers; the airframe therefore supports both higher-density transport and executive layouts depending on operator fit. Avionics for the airframe are site-dependent but listings note the presence of Collins ProLine equipment and ancillary components such as Aircell Axxess and Collins navigation modules, indicating a mixed fit that supports modern communications and navigation capabilities. Operationally the aircraft suits transcontinental and regional missions within its 3,250 nm range and cruise speed around 470 kts, commonly used for corporate, charter, or owner-flown transport from its Fishers, Indiana base. Maintenance considerations reflect typical Falcon 2000 needs for twin CFE738 series engines and avionics lifecycle items tied to operator-specific installations.

The Dassault Falcon 2000 occupies the large-cabin, mid-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high-speed cruise and a service ceiling to 47,000 ft that supports efficient long-range routing. Competing models in the same market segment include other large-cabin twins offering similar range and comfort; buyers and charter operators value the Falcon 2000 for cabin size and balanced operating economics. Market and resale considerations for this 2001 airframe include age-related depreciation reflected in the $4,500,000 valuation, engine and avionics upgrade cycles (notably CFE738 series engine support and site-dependent avionics like Collins ProLine), and the impact of interior configuration flexibility between 8–10 executive seats or the certified 14-seat layout on charter versus private-owner appeal.
