N48FB

This airframe, N48FB, is a 1995-build Dassault Falcon 2000 with manufacturer serial number 11. The aircraft is owned by WKC CORP (a corporation based in St Louis, MO, US) and is registered in the US; registry entries indicate a 14‑seat configuration. Maintenance and valuation records list the airframe value at $3,800,000, reflecting its age, equipment baseline and typical market depreciation for early Falcon 2000 examples. Operational basing is associated with the owner's location in St Louis, MO, and registry notations provide the primary public traceable actions for this specific jet.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical executive layout for the model range; registry records show 14 seats, consistent with a denser executive or corporate shuttle fit rather than a lower‑density VIP arrangement. Avionics are listed as Collins ProLine 4 with the caveat that early Falcon 2000 airframes frequently vary by retrofit history; this airframe reflects an early avionics fit typical of its production era. Typical missions for this configuration include medium‑range corporate transport and point‑to‑point executive operations within the aircraft's 2,841 nm range at cruise speeds near 447 kts, frequently operating from regional hubs consistent with the owner’s St. Louis base. Maintenance considerations follow standard Falcon 2000 practices for CFE‑powered examples, with attention to engine life limits, auxiliary system upgrades and avionics retrofit choices that affect marketability.

The Dassault Falcon 2000 family occupies the large‑cabin, medium‑range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability without the operating costs of the longest‑range types. Competing models in the era include large-cabin twins from Gulfstream and Bombardier, and the Falcon 2000’s two‑engine layout and cabin volume make it attractive for corporate fleets and charter operators. For a 1995 serial number example like N48FB, buyer demand and resale value are influenced by avionics standardization, engine cycles on the CFE 738‑1‑1B engines, and completion condition; the listed $3,800,000 valuation reflects those cumulative market and maintenance considerations.
