N838FL

This entry covers airframe N838FL, a Dassault-built Falcon 50 manufactured by Dassault Aviation in 1982 with serial number 126. The airframe is owned by RDSAIR LLC, an LLC based in Naples, FL, US, and is registered in the US. The type has seen retrofit activity consistent with its fleet peers, and the current market valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $3,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical maintenance status for a 1982 Falcon 50.

The interior of N838FL follows a typical Falcon 50 executive fit with an 8–10 passenger layout, including a forward galley and an aft lavatory, arranged to accommodate up to 10 seated passengers for typical corporate missions. Avionics onboard are commonly retrofitted to Collins Pro Line 21, although fit can vary by individual airframe, and such upgrades influence both operational capability and resale value. Based in Naples, FL, US under RDSAIR LLC, the aircraft is suited to medium- to long-range executive travel — missions exploiting the type’s transcontinental range of 3,084 nm and cruise speed near 420 kts — and operates within the fixed-wing multi-engine category.

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies a mid-size, long-range business jet niche, offering three-engine redundancy and performance up to 49,000 ft that appealed to owners seeking overwater capability and higher cruise altitudes. Typical competitors include other long-range business jets of its era; ongoing demand in the pre-owned market is driven by mission flexibility, refurbishment level and avionics upgrades such as Collins Pro Line 21. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1982 Falcon 50 like N838FL center on engine shop visits for the TFE731 series, structural and systems fatigue inspections, and the extent of interior and avionics modernization — all factors that contribute to the stated $3,000,000 valuation.
