Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N550TH, is a 2001-built Dassault Falcon 900EX with serial number 100 manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The jet is owned by AIR CENTER HELICOPTERS INC, a corporation based in Burleson, TX, US, and carries US registration. Registry records and listing data note both a typical 12-seat executive interior and a high-density registry listing allowing up to 21 seats; the airframe-specific listing emphasizes the 12-seat executive fit. Valuation and sale listings place the aircraft at $9,500,000, with records indicating a well-equipped avionics fit and three-engine configuration consistent with the Falcon 900EX type certificate.

The cabin is described as a typical 12‑passenger executive layout with a forward 4‑place club, a mid‑cabin 4‑place conference group opposite a credenza, and an aft 3‑place berthable divan opposite a single club chair; the configuration also includes a forward galley and aft lavatory, while registry listings note a high-density option up to 21 seats. Avionics aboard this airframe include triple Honeywell Primus 2000 FMS, dual Honeywell GNSSU with WAAS/LPV capability, Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, dual Collins transponders with ADS‑B Out v2, and FANS 1/A capability per sale and avionics listings. Typical missions for this airframe would leverage its long 4,500 nm range and transcontinental cruise speed of 430 kts, operated from its owner’s base in Burleson, TX, for executive transport and long‑range charter. Maintenance considerations follow three‑engine Falcon practices and the avionics suite’s WAAS/LPV and FANS capabilities for modern airspace requirements.

The Dassault Falcon 900EX family occupies the long‑range, three‑engine midsize executive jet niche, offering high‑altitude performance to 51,000 ft and intercontinental range of 4,500 nm. Competitors in the market historically include other long‑range midsize and large-cabin types, with buyer demand often driven by interior condition, avionics upgrades like WAAS/LPV and FANS, and engine program status; this airframe’s comprehensive avionics and executive interior support resale and charter appeal. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize the cost and logistics of three‑engine maintenance and the value impact of a well‑documented 12‑seat executive interior versus the registry high‑density 21‑seat listing.
