N500BL

This entry describes airframe N500BL, a Dassault-built long-range business jet delivered in 1996 with serial number 08. The aircraft is a Dassault Falcon 900EX that appears on the U.S. registry under owner BNB LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US; the registration is recorded as US. Ownership is held by a Delaware limited liability company, and the airframe's market valuation is listed at $7,100,000. The type and registry indicate it is operated under U.S. rules; no alternative operator or published interior configuration beyond certification data is on file.

The airframe is certificated for 21 seats, while the operator interior configuration is not published, so the installed layout for passenger accommodation and amenities for this specific airframe is not publicly documented. With a published cruise of 447 kts and a maximum range of 4,500 nm, this Falcon 900EX airframe is capable of extended overwater and long domestic or transcontinental missions consistent with executive transport and group charter profiles. The three-engine installation using the Honeywell / AlliedSignal TFE731-2B series supports redundancy and performance at a certified ceiling of 51,000 ft, but also implies elevated maintenance planning compared with twin-engine designs. Based in the United States under ownership in Wilmington, DE, US, routine maintenance and regulatory oversight would follow U.S. Federal Aviation Administration requirements for large, multi-engine turbine transport category business jets.

The Dassault Falcon 900EX is positioned in the long-range, three-engine business jet niche where high cruise speeds, intercontinental range, and high-altitude capability are emphasized. Competing models in similar roles include long-range derivatives from other manufacturers, while the Falcon’s three-engine layout is a distinguishing performance and redundancy characteristic. For prospective buyers or operators of this specific airframe, considerations include life-cycle maintenance for three engines, airframe age (built 1996, serial 08), interior refurbishment status given the uncertified operator configuration, and prevailing market valuations around $7,100,000 for comparable examples. Resale and charter demand will hinge on maintenance records, avionics fit (not published here), and interior condition.
