N463AK

The airframe bearing registration N463AK is a Dassault-built business jet, a Dassault Falcon 10 manufactured by Dassault Aviation in 1980, constructor serial 162. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by V1VR LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US; the current ownership is recorded as V1VR LLC acquisition in registry notes. Operator/home base activity reflects corporate ownership rather than a dedicated airline operator; routine registry actions and detailed valuation or condition reports have not been published publicly. Maintenance history and recent condition assessments are not provided in the supplied data.

The cabin is reported in an executive configuration with up to 11 seats, while typical installations for this airframe class often range from 7–8 passenger executive layouts depending on interior refits. Avionics on this airframe are described as Collins-series legacy avionics, with various retrofit configurations reported, indicating a mix of original equipment and later upgrades in some installations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range corporate transport given its 1,800 nm range and high cruise speed of 459 kts, operating from corporate or charter bases consistent with an owner registered in Wilmington, DE. Maintenance considerations for this specific Falcon 10 would focus on aging airframe and legacy-systems support, particularly engine and avionics life-cycle programs.

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies a light-cabin, transcontinental niche for late-1970s/early-1980s business jets, offering relatively high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling for its class. Competing types historically include other light business jets of the era that balance speed and operating cost; buyer and charter demand for specific airframes like N463AK depends on condition, avionics modernization, and interior refurbishment. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (construction number 162) emphasize the availability of parts and support for the TFE731-2 engines and the feasibility/cost of avionics retrofits from legacy Collins-series equipment to modern glass cockpits.
