N313K

This entry covers airframe N313K, a 1979-built Dassault business jet, serial 20F-404, listed on the U.S. registry. The airframe is owned by corporate lessor TALFIN LEASING II LLC, based in Windermere, FL, and has been maintained in corporate leasing status rather than being operated as a single private-owner ship. Registered to TALFIN LEASING II LLC on the U.S. registry, the aircraft's records emphasize a factory-era Falcon 20F-5BR configuration with updated avionics noted on sales specifications. Condition and valuation notes are tied to its original CF700 powerplants and executive interior, with sales literature highlighting avionics upgrades and an executive 10-passenger cabin as principal value drivers.

The cabin on this airframe is fitted in an executive 10-passenger arrangement: a forward 4-place club, an aft 3-place divan opposite dual club chairs, and an enclosed aft lavatory, reflecting a typical corporate transport interior for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics fit on the airframe includes a dual Collins and Sperry suite with ADF Collins ADF-60, Sperry SPZ-500 autopilot/flight director, dual Universal FMS/GPS, Collins communications/DME, TAWS Mark VII, and TCAS-II listed on sales specifications, supporting contemporary navigation and safety requirements for charter and lease operations. Typical mission profiles exploit the Falcon 20F-5BR’s high-speed cruise and transcontinental range—regional executive charters, repositioning flights, and short overseas hops—operated from a Florida base and maintained to lessor standards. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on legacy CF700 engine servicing and avionics integration to satisfy Part 135 or corporate operator requirements.

The Dassault Falcon 20F-5BR represents a late-1970s light-medium corporate jet niche offering robust cruise speed and a high operational ceiling relative to contemporaries. Competing models in the period and secondary market include turbofan conversions and early light-cabin jets; buyer and charter demand centers on affordability, payload, and proven airframe durability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on CF700 engine support, the value added by upgraded avionics packages, and the condition of the executive cabin when marketed by a corporate lessor.
