Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N30FT is a United States–registered Dassault Falcon 50EX built by Dassault Aviation, serial 271. Public records for build year and a detailed ownership timeline are not published; registry history and transfer actions are not published for this specific airframe. The Falcon 50EX platform has long served corporate and private operators worldwide, and this example is valued at $4,000,000 on market listings reflecting its age and systems pedigree. Condition highlights for N30FT are limited to valuation points and basic specification disclosures rather than an itemized maintenance record.
The cabin for this airframe is described generically as a typical 8–9 place executive layout; the exact seat plan for N30FT has not been verified but is consistent with a nine-seat executive configuration. Avionics fit on Falcon 50EX examples varies by retrofit history; specific avionics or STC work for this serial are not published, so operator mission equipment should be confirmed via logbooks. Typical missions for a Falcon 50EX of this capability include transcontinental and offshore positioning flights within a roughly 3,200 nm radius and high-speed business travel at about 447 kts cruise, operating from domestic US bases and regional airports. Maintenance considerations of note for this aircraft center on three TFE731-40 turbine cores and aging airframe support; life-limited items and engine program status should be reviewed when assessing operational availability.
The Dassault Falcon 50EX occupies the mid-size, long-range trijet niche: a transcontinental business jet with strong climb and cruise performance and a 49,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models historically include early Gulfstream and newer midsize twins, though the Falcon 50EX’s three-engine design offers redundancy valued by certain operators. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N30FT tends to be price-sensitive and dependent on documented maintenance and avionics modernization; resale considerations commonly focus on engine program status, structural inspections, and certification of any avionics upgrades.
