N34TJ

This entry concerns airframe N34TJ, a Dassault Falcon 10 built in 1975 with manufacturer serial number 41. The jet is registered in the US and is recorded as privately owned by Ace Air; the change to private ownership is noted here as owned by Ace Air without a published home base. Registry entries indicate no recent major re-registration events beyond continued US registration, and the airframe is appraised at $255,000, reflecting its age and market condition.

The cabin in this individual Falcon 10 follows a typical executive arrangement described as a 4–7-place executive club/divan layout with options for a forward galley and lavatory, permitting mixed passenger and light-cargo executive missions. Avionics fits reported for this airframe are in the Collins family — listed as Collins Pro Line / Collins-era radios (various installations reported) — indicating a legacy cockpit that may have been subject to incremental upgrades rather than a full glass retrofit. Typical operations for this aircraft type and outfitting would include short- to mid-range business itineraries, ad hoc charter or owner-flown trips within continental ranges consistent with the listed 1,520 nm capability, and high-speed transits at or near the 454 kts cruise. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would emphasize age-related corrosion inspection, TFE731 engine lifecycle tracking, and avionics obsolescence management given the Collins-era installations.

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies the light-cabin, high-speed end of the 1970s business-jet market, offering transcontinental capability in a small airframe with two TFE731 turbofans. Competing models historically include other light business jets of the era; buyer and charter demand for older Falcon 10s tends to center on niche users valuing speed and runway performance over modern avionics or pressurization improvements. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include the relatively low appraised value of $255,000, the need for periodic major refurbishments, and the market impact of mixed Collins-era avionics on upgrade costs and buyer appeal.
