N50KD

This airframe, registered as N50KD, is a 1985-build Dassault Falcon 50 with manufacturer's serial number 145. The jet is currently held by PW TRANSPORT LLC, a corporate owner based in Lafayette, LA, US, and is registered in the US. As a mid-1980s production Falcon 50, the airframe presents typical age-related market characteristics and is appraised at $2,500,000, reflecting condition, avionics fit and maintenance status common to long-serving airframes of this vintage. Registry entries indicate corporate operation from a Lafayette base and ongoing civilian fixed-wing multi-engine certification.

The cabin of this Falcon 50 is fitted in a typical executive 8–10‑place layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; both executive seating and divan options are commonly installed and consistent with the aircraft’s 10-seat certification. Operationally, the airframe’s long-range capability of 3,084 nm and a high cruise of 420 kts suit transcontinental U.S. missions and shorter international hops compatible with its 49,000 ft ceiling. Based on the corporate ownership and Lafayette, LA location, missions likely emphasize corporate transport, charter flexibility and point‑to‑point regional connectivity. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect three Garrett TFE731 engines and mid‑1980s airframe age, which influence inspection cycles, spare parts sourcing and overhaul scheduling for continued reliable operation.

The Dassault Falcon 50 occupies a mid‑size, long‑range niche within late‑20th‑century business jets, offering tri‑jet redundancy, transcontinental range and high cruise performance. Typical competitors include other long‑range business jets of the era, and demand in the resale and charter market is driven by condition, avionics upgrades and engine program status. For this airframe—serial 145, build year 1985—value and resale considerations hinge on maintenance history, interior refurbishment and compliance with contemporary avionics and regulatory standards.
