Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N497SP, is a 1993-built Dassault Falcon 50, serial number 236. The aircraft is owned by Clyde Air LLC, a corporation based in Boston, MA, US, and has been operated from that home base under U.S. registration. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond its current corporate registration. The airframe is appraised at $2,500,000, reflecting its age and configuration.
The cabin of this Falcon 50 is configured in a typical eight–nine passenger executive layout with forward club seating, mid-cabin chairs, an aft divan, a forward galley and an aft lavatory, accommodating 9 seats in a business jet role. Operated by Clyde Air LLC from Boston, MA, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and offshore transits within its 3,075 nm range and high-speed cruise near 430 knots, commonly used for corporate transport, charters, and owner-flown missions. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the Falcon 50 type’s three-engine systems and Honeywell TFE731 engine support, and the aircraft’s market valuation at $2,500,000 informs overhaul and component exchange decision-making. No bespoke cabin modifications or unique amenities beyond the standard executive layout are published for this airframe.
The Dassault Falcon 50 occupies a performance niche as a long-range, tri-jet business jet offering transcontinental range with a high-altitude ceiling of 49,000 ft, competitive in speed at 430 kts. It competes historically with other long-range business jets of its era; buyers and charter operators value its redundancy from three engines and good range for overwater or extended missions. Resale considerations for this 1993 airframe, serial 236, hinge on maintenance history, engine cycles on the three Honeywell TFE731-3-1C units, and its current appraisal of $2,500,000.
