N818KF

This entry describes airframe N818KF, a 1998-built Dassault Falcon 50EX with serial number 277. The aircraft is owned by the corporation NAVIGATION MANAGEMENT LLC, based in Stratford, CT, US, and is U.S.-registered. Registered in the United States is a notable registry status for this airframe; no other prior ownership timeline is provided. Valuation records list the airframe at $4,300,000, reflecting market condition for a late-1990s Falcon 50EX in its advertised configuration.

The airframe typically carries a conventional executive interior with space for an 8–9 passenger executive layout, although the aircraft is certificated for up to 18 seats and the specific installation for N818KF is noted as a typical executive layout. Avionics fit is listed as Collins Pro Line IV as typical for the 50EX series, with the caveat that individual fit may vary. Operationally the airframe’s mission profile aligns with long-range intercity and transcontinental business transport enabled by a 3,260 nm range and cruise at 459 kts, while ceiling capability to 49,000 ft supports high-altitude routings. Maintenance and interior refurbishment cycles for a 1998 Falcon 50EX such as N818KF will align with corporate operator practices under NAVIGATION MANAGEMENT LLC in Stratford, CT.

The Dassault Falcon 50EX family occupies the long-range, three-engine midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and higher-altitude performance relative to many twin-engined contemporaries. Typical competitors in market positioning include other long-range midsize jets; buyer and charter demand for a 1998 airframe depends on condition, avionics fit such as Collins Pro Line IV, and maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for N818KF factor in its serial 277 build year 1998, three TFE731-40-1C engines, and its listed market value of $4,300,000.
