N30HQ

The airframe bearing tail number N30HQ is a 1999-build Dassault Falcon 900EX, serial 045, currently registered in the United States. The aircraft is owned by JSM AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Newport Coast, CA, US, and is operated from that location as its primary home base. The airframe features a cockpit and systems set consistent with late-1990s Falcon 900EX deliveries and carries a market valuation around $9,200,000. Maintenance and equipment upgrades noted for this specific jet include avionics modernization and datalink capabilities that affect its operational utility and resale positioning.

The cabin of this Falcon 900EX is laid out as a forward four-place club, a mid-cabin four-place dining group, and an aft three-place divan opposite a single seat, with a forward right-hand full-service galley and forward and aft lavatories; the interior is certified for 12 passengers. Avionics fit includes a Honeywell Primus 2000 (FMZ-2000) suite with an upgraded touchscreen FMS, a head-up display (HUD), TCAS II (Collins TTR-4000), EGPWS, ADS-B Out DO-260B, and noted FANS 1/A with CPDLC capability, supporting continental and oceanic operations. Typical missions for this airframe would exploit its long-range capability—approximately 4,500 nm—and high cruise speed of 447 kts to serve transcontinental and some transoceanic business missions from its Newport Coast, CA base. The combination of three-engine reliability and advanced datalink/ADS-B capabilities informs maintenance planning and international dispatch considerations for this specific jet.

As a member of the Falcon 900EX family, this tri-jet airframe occupies a niche defined by long-range capability and high-altitude performance, demonstrated by a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and substantial cruise speed. The installed avionics and datalink features, plus an upgraded touchscreen FMS and HUD, enhance operational relevance for owners seeking modern navigation and airspace compliance. At a stated value of $9,200,000 for a 1999 serial 045, resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine maintenance for three Honeywell TFE731-60-1C units, avionics currency, and interior condition relative to passenger certification for 12.
