N278GS

This entry covers airframe N278GS, a Dassault Falcon 2000EX built in 2015 with manufacturer's serial number 732. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by U S BANK NA, a corporate owner based in Marshall, MN, US; this ownership status reflects a financial/lessor custodial relationship rather than an operating airline. Notable registry facts include its US registration and corporate ownership, and the airframe is appraised at $8,500,000, indicating mid-life market valuation for a late-model 2000EX in executive configuration.

The cabin of N278GS is fitted with an executive flat‑floor layout and typically accommodates 8–10 passenger executive seating, although the airframe shows 19 max certificated seating, reflecting certification flexibility for different mission profiles. Avionics are consistent with later 2000EX/2000LXS completions and feature the Honeywell EASy II suite as a typical fit for this variant, supporting advanced flight-deck automation and crew situational awareness. Operationally, this airframe is suited to medium- to long-range business and corporate transport missions within its 3,878 nm range and cruise speeds near 447 kts, commonly used for transcontinental US hops and regional international sectors. As a corporately owned asset, typical considerations include bank-held lien management, standard maintenance tracking for lessor custodial fleets, and upkeep to EASy II avionics standards.

The Dassault Falcon 2000EX family occupies the super-midsize executive jet niche, combining transcontinental range with twin-engine efficiency. Competitors in its class include other super-midsize manufactured jets offering similar range and cabin comfort. Market demand for airframes like N278GS centers on charter operators and corporate flight departments seeking a balance of range (3,878 nm) and operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its corporate ownership, avionics fit (Honeywell EASy II), and mid-decade build year (2015), all factors affecting asset liquidity and operator appeal.
