Model & Market Context
This entry concerns airframe N304K, a Dassault Falcon 900EX built in 2016 with manufacturer's serial number 304. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation SONIC AUTOMOTIVE INC, based in Charlotte, NC, US, and is registered in the US registry. Registry entries note a 21-seat certified cabin layout, and the airframe is valued at $11,000,000 in the available data; no other ownership history or major registry actions are published for this specific airframe.
The airframe carries a certified 21-seat layout as recorded in the registry, reflecting a high-density cabin configuration for the Falcon 900EX platform. Avionics listed for this example are Honeywell Primus / EASy, a common fit for EX/EASy-equipped Falcons, indicating integrated flight management and modern cockpit capability for long-range operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would include corporate transport and longer point-to-point flights within the aircraft’s 4,500 nm range at cruise speeds around 447 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Charlotte, NC, US. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe follow the three-engine Honeywell TFE731-60-1C commonality, with the thrust rating of 4,525 lbf per engine shaping fuel planning and climb performance for high-altitude cruise to the type’s 51,000 ft ceiling.
The Dassault Falcon 900EX occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche within the fixed-wing multi-engine business jet category, balancing transcontinental range with triple-engine redundancy. With the included Honeywell Primus / EASy avionics fit and a certified 21-seat layout, this specific airframe is positioned for corporate or high-density transport roles rather than bespoke VIP interiors. At an indicated value of $11,000,000, resale and charter marketability will reflect the aircraft’s update level, maintenance history, and the three-engine maintenance economics relative to competing long-range twins. Routine support considerations for this model include specialized engine and systems maintenance programs aligned to Honeywell and Dassault service networks.
