N518SS

The airframe bearing tail number N518SS is a 1999-built Dassault Falcon 2000 with manufacturer serial 100. It is recorded as owned by Falcon SN100 LLC, a corporate owner; the airframe is registered in the United States under US registration and shows no public record of commercial operator assignment or base of operations — operator/home base not published. The airframe’s most recent published market valuation is $4,000,000, reflecting an aging late‑1990s airframe with midlife systems common to Falcon 2000 examples. Notable registry actions include the persistent corporate registration under Falcon SN100 LLC rather than an individual owner or listed charter operator.

The installed cabin configuration for this individual airframe is reported generically as a typical executive layout for the series — forward club seating with an aft conference or multi‑group arrangement — but the exact N518SS fitment is not published in available listings. Avionics for early Falcon 2000s are commonly the Collins Pro Line 21, which is the avionics fit associated with this airframe in public references. With a range of 3,130 nm and cruise near 459 kts, mission profiles for N518SS would concentrate on transcontinental and medium‑international passenger transport, executive shuttle duties, and corporate travel for up to 14 occupants. Maintenance and refurb considerations will focus on legacy systems and potential avionics refreshes typical for late‑1990s Falcons.

The Dassault Falcon 2000 family occupies a midsize, long‑range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with twin‑engine efficiency. Competitors for the model year and mission profile include late‑generation Bombardier Challengers and Gulfstream/Gulfstream‑class light twins in used markets. Buyer and charter demand for a 1999 airframe such as N518SS tends to hinge on maintenance history, interior refurbishment state, and avionics modernization (the common Collins Pro Line 21 fit can be a target for upgrades). Resale and upkeep considerations for this airframe emphasize engine times, life‑limited components, and the cost/benefit of systems upgrades relative to its published valuation of $4,000,000.
