Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N488MH, is a 2022-build Dassault Falcon 900LX with manufacturer serial number 330, delivered new by Dassault Aviation. The aircraft is owned by the Nashville, Tennessee–based corporation SMYRNA READY MIX CONCRETE LLC, and is registered in the US; its operator/home base is recorded in Nashville, TN. No prior ownership changes are listed in the supplied data, and registry entries identify the airframe as a corporate-operated, newer-generation trijet in good contemporary specification for executive or high-capacity shuttle use.
The registry configuration for this specific airframe lists seating for up to 21 passengers, though typical executive interiors of Falcon 900LX airframes are commonly fitted with 12–14 seats for longer-range corporate missions. This example is equipped with the EASy II integrated avionics suite (Honeywell Primus Epic), supporting advanced flight-management capability and common Honeywell systems maintenance pathways. With a 4,750 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed, N488MH is suited to long intercontinental city‑pair missions, high-altitude cruise at a 51,000 ft ceiling, and flexible role profiles from corporate transport to high-capacity group moves under the owning corporation. Maintenance considerations follow standard Falcon 900LX practices for tri‑jet airframes and Honeywell TFE731 engine support programs.
The Dassault Falcon 900LX occupies a performance niche as a long‑range, high‑cruise‑speed trijet with transoceanic capability and short‑field performance relative to larger ultra‑long‑range types. Competing models include long‑range business jets that emphasize cabin comfort and reach, with buyer demand driven by range, runway flexibility and brand reliability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe type reflect tri‑engine inspection cycles, Honeywell TFE731 support arrangements, and the market premium typically commanded by late‑build, well‑equipped 900LX examples such as this 2022 serial 330.
