N50NM

This article describes airframe N50NM, a 1997-built Dassault Falcon 50EX with serial number 266, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation TCC AIR SERVICES INC based in Greenwich, CT, US; its current operator/home base is therefore aligned with that registered owner. The FAA transport listing for this airframe records an 18-seat configuration, while typical executive layouts for the model are 8–9 passengers, and the airframe is appraised at $5,500,000. Registration and transport category entries reflect corporate ownership and an 18-seat registry configuration.

The cabin for N50NM is described as a typical executive layout common to Falcon 50EX conversions—normally an 8–9 passenger executive interior—though the FAA transport listing for this specific airframe shows 18 seats in the registry, indicating certification or configuration for higher-capacity transport operations. Avionics fit for the airframe is consistent with common 50EX upgrades and conversions, typically the Collins Pro Line 4 suite. Operational missions for this airframe would align with long-range corporate transport, transcontinental and intercontinental charters, and executive ferry roles benefiting from the model’s tri-jet performance and extended range. Maintenance considerations reflect tri-engine systems and legacy avionics upgrade paths typical of late-1990s production Falcons.

The Dassault Falcon 50EX family occupies a performance niche as a long-range, high-speed tri-jet business aircraft with a service ceiling near 49,000 ft and transoceanic capability given its 3,075 nm range and 488 kts cruise. Competing models historically include other long-range mid-size business jets; buyer and charter demand often hinge on availability of updated avionics (such as Collins Pro Line 4) and maintenance status of the TFE731 series engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include tri-engine upkeep costs, parts availability for the TFE731-2B, and market valuation around $5,500,000 for similar-condition examples.
