N505RR

This airframe, N505RR, is a 2012-build Dassault Falcon 900LX with manufacturer serial 265. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity SONIC AUTOMOTIVE INC, based in Charlotte, NC, US. The registry lists a high-density 21-seat configuration for this airframe, and the airframe carries a reported market value of $17,000,000. Operational details indicate a corporate/operator basing consistent with the owner's location and registry entries.

The configuration for N505RR reflects the Falcon 900LX typical executive arrangements, with the registry indicating a high-density 21-seat layout though standard executive cabins for the model are usually 12–14 pax; the plane retains a forward galley and offers mid-cabin conference/club seating options in alternate fits. Avionics are fitted with the Dassault EASy suite (Honeywell Primus Epic), with the LX-series also supporting EASy II-class avionics upgrades as an option. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-range corporate transport and multi-leg executive movements, leveraging the aircraft's transcontinental/intercontinental range and 51,000 ft ceiling for efficient high-altitude cruise. Maintenance considerations align with three-engine Honeywell TFE731 support infrastructure and Falcon-specific heavy inspections.

The Dassault Falcon 900LX sits in the long-range, tri-jet executive market niche, offering a balance of transoceanic capability and steep climb/high-altitude performance. Competing types in its class historically include large-cabin long-range business jets from other manufacturers, but the tri-jet layout and Falcon systems distinguish lifecycle and maintenance profiles. Buyer and charter demand for this series often hinges on cabin configuration flexibility, operating economics for three engines, and avionics standardization—factors that influence resale value and fleet utility for corporate owners such as SONIC AUTOMOTIVE INC.
