N696RG

The airframe bearing tail number N696RG is a 1997-built Dassault Falcon 50EX, serial number 265, recorded on the U.S. registry. The aircraft is owned by Pecos Bend Royalties LLLP, a partnership based in Midland, TX, US, and is typically operated from that region as its home base. Official U.S. registration and valuation records list the airframe at approximately $6,000,000, and the configuration and systems reflect common EX-line fits with retrofit variations noted in service histories. No other notable registry actions are published beyond its U.S. registration and current ownership status.

This specific Falcon 50EX is fitted in a typical executive 8–9 place layout, listed as a Typical executive 8–9 place layout with enclosed lavatory, forward galley and cabin dividers, providing a conventional long-range corporate cabin suited to owner-operator missions. Avionics are recorded as Collins Pro Line 4, the common EX fit that also permits a range of retrofit variations depending on operator preference and avionics upgrade history. Operational profiles for this airframe are consistent with mid-continent U.S. franchise and energy-sector travel, supporting transcontinental hops and point-to-point flights from its Midland base; the three-engine design and robust environmental control systems also suit hot-and-high departure fields common to oilfield service work. Maintenance and inspection considerations follow typical Falcon 50EX schedules, with attention to the TFE731-40 engine series and aging-system retrofits as common lifecycle items.

The Dassault Falcon 50EX family occupies a niche for transcontinental, long-range tri-jet business travel, offering intercontinental range and high cruise speeds relative to light jets. Competing models historically include other long-range midsize and super-midsize jets, where buyers weigh operating economics of three-engine designs versus twin-engine alternatives. Market demand for 1990s-era EX airframes centers on owner-operators and charter operators seeking range and speed at a lower acquisition cost; resale and maintenance considerations for this 1997 serial center on avionics refreshes, engine life-limited parts, and corrosion/airframe fatigue inspections typical for airframes of this vintage.
