Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N83FJ, is a Dassault Falcon 50 manufactured by Dassault Aviation (Dassault-Breguet) in 1981 with serial number 74. The airframe is owned by FX SOLUTIONS INC (a corporation based in Missoula, MT, US) and is registered in the United States. The aircraft’s corporate ownership and U.S. registration indicate operation from a domestic operator base in Missoula, Montana, and reflect standard registry actions for a U.S.-based corporate operator. Valuation and condition summaries list the aircraft at $3,500,000, consistent with older long-range trijet Falcons in corporate service.
The cabin for this Falcon 50 is described as a typical executive layout configured for 8–9 passengers with a forward galley and aft lavatory, though the airframe lists 10 seats in total and executive interior variants are noted as possible. In operational use by FX SOLUTIONS INC, missions would typically be corporate point-to-point transport on domestic and transcontinental sectors that exploit the Falcon 50’s long-range capability of 3,142 nm and high cruise of 447 kts. Avionics fit is not published in the supplied data; however, maintenance and operational considerations for a 1981 airframe with Garrett/Honeywell TFE731 series engines include typical age-related inspections, life-limited component tracking, and potential retrofit or upgrade paths for communications and navigation equipment. The Missoula base implies seasonal operations that may include high-altitude or mountainous-field considerations.
The Dassault Falcon 50 occupies the long-range, small-cabin trijet niche, notable for transcontinental range and the redundancy of three engines. Competitors historically include midsize long-range business jets that trade lower operating complexity for twin-engine efficiency. Buyer and charter demand for early-1980s Falcon 50s typically centers on operators valuing range and runway performance; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine program status, structural fatigue inspections, and avionics modernization for continued certification and marketability.
