N280BD

This entry describes airframe N280BD, a 2003-build Dassault Falcon 50EX carrying serial number 332. The jet is recorded on the U.S. registry and is owned by LCG ENTERPRISES LLC, an LLC based in Greenwich, Connecticut, which represents the primary operator/home base connection for this airframe. There are no publicly listed notable registry actions beyond its U.S. registration; the aircraft is assessed at a market value of $3,500,000 and is presented in typical executive condition for its model year and configuration.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive 8–9 place layout reflecting the Falcon 50EX’s usual executive seating arrangement; for this airframe the published seating count is 9. Operated from its owner’s base in Greenwich, CT, the aircraft’s performance—particularly its transcontinental range of 3,075 nm and long-range cruise speed of 420 kts—suits corporate point-to-point missions and owner-flown or charter light-transport roles. Specific avionics fit and bespoke cabin amenities for this serial are not published; routine maintenance considerations align with tri-engine Honeywell TFE-731 series support and airframe service expectations for a 2003 Falcon 50EX of this age and value.

The Dassault Falcon 50EX occupies a niche as a long-range, tri-engine light-medium business jet, offering redundancy and transoceanic capability relative to twin-engine competitors. Typical market competitors include long-range light-to-midsize business jets that emphasize range and speed rather than three-engine redundancy. Buyer and charter demand for this variant reflects interest in its unique performance envelope and older airframe pricing; consequently resale and maintenance considerations center on engine shop visits for the Honeywell TFE-731 series, avionics upgrades, and overall time-on-type when assessing the stated $3,500,000 valuation.
