N857SS

This airframe, registered as N857SS, is a 2002-built example of the Dassault Falcon 2000EX, serial number 192, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The jet appears on U.S. records as owned by SIMON AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Birmingham, MI, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s cited market value is $8,500,000, reflecting its 2002 vintage and the 2000EX family’s continuing appeal for transcontinental executive missions. Notable registry information includes its certification configuration showing 19 certified seats on the FAA record, while the outfitted cabin is described in typical executive terms.

The cabin for this specific Falcon 2000EX is noted as a typical executive layout, commonly arranged as a 10-place executive configuration in practice, while the FAA record lists 19 certified seats, indicating a dual-use certification or a past/high-density seating option. The airframe is typically equipped with the EASy avionics suite, standard for the 2000EX/2000LX family, supporting integrated flight management and advanced situational awareness. Based in Birmingham, MI, the operator profile and performance figures make the aircraft suitable for cross-country and transcontinental missions within North America, leveraging the approximately 3,845 nm range and 442 kt cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engine schedules and Falcon OEM structural/avionics inspection cycles.

The Dassault Falcon 2000EX occupies the mid-size, long-range business jet niche with transcontinental capability and a comfortable cabin for executive transport. Competing models include similarly sized offerings from Bombardier and Gulfstream in the early-2000s market; buyers often value the Falcon’s balanced combination of performance, fuel efficiency, and runway performance. For this 2002 airframe, resale and operating-cost considerations center on engine program status, avionics (EASy) currency, and interior refurbishment given the aircraft’s age and the discrepancy between certified and typical seat counts.
