Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N581FL is a Dassault Falcon 20F-5 manufactured by Dassault Aviation in 1981, serial number 440. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by IFL Group Inc., a corporation based in Waterford, MI, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this specific Falcon 20F-5. Registry and valuation records list the aircraft with a market value of $1,400,000, reflecting its vintage production year, two TFE731-series engines, and typical executive interior condition as described in operator listings. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond current corporate ownership.
The cabin of N581FL is listed in operator materials as a typical 8–9 place executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting business and corporate transport missions. With seating for 9 and an operational cruise of 405 kts, the airframe is suited to medium-range point-to-point executive flights within its 1,808 nm range capability; typical mission profiles would emphasize corporate-charter sectors and private executive transport out of its Waterford, Michigan base. Operator listings provide the cabin configuration but do not publish a detailed avionics fit; maintenance considerations center on the continued airworthiness and life-cycle support of the twin Honeywell / AlliedSignal TFE731 engines and aging airframe systems as reflected in its current valuation.
As a Falcon 20F-5 airmachine from 1981 with twin TFE731-series powerplants delivering 4,500 lbf each, N581FL occupies a legacy business-jet niche characterized by robust cruise performance to 42,000 ft and practical executive cabin arrangements. Buyer and charter demand for similar vintage airframes typically factors in overall maintenance history, retrofit potential, and residual market value; for this airframe the listed value of $1,400,000 signals considerations for prospective operators around maintenance, avionics modernization, and engine service life when assessing resale or continued operation.
