N868EM

The airframe bearing tail number N868EM is a 2006-build Dassault Falcon 900EX, serial number 161, recorded in US civil registration. The airframe is currently registered to DCCO AVIATION II LLC, a corporation based in Canton, MI, US; this ownership is the principal recorded operator/home base association in the registry. The aircraft’s registry lists it in a corporate operator context rather than individual private ownership. Recent valuation records assign a market value of $14,821,915, reflecting its equipment and configurable cabin condition for this series.

This specific Falcon 900EX typically carries a "Typical executive layout" cabin and the registry notes configurations commonly seating 12–14 pax executive while listing up to 21 seats depending on the interior fit; the registry entry for N868EM records the higher-seat capability. The avionics fit for this airframe is the EASy integrated flight deck (EX/EASy), supporting advanced flight management and crew situational awareness consistent with long-range business missions. Operational profiles for this airframe align with transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport, leveraging the model’s long-range capability and three-engine redundancy for overwater or extended overland routings. Maintenance considerations follow the Falcon 900EX program standards, with emphasis on the Honeywell TFE731 engine shop visits and systems common to EX/EASy-equipped airframes.

The Dassault Falcon 900EX family occupies the long-range, large-cabin tri-jet niche, offering extended ferry range and high-altitude performance relative to twinjets of similar vintage. Competing models in the market are long-range heavy business jets and earlier tri-jet designs where buyers balance cabin space, range (4,500 nm for this airframe) and operating costs. Resale and maintenance factors for this serial include the airframe’s EASy avionics fit and the life-cycle status of the TFE731 engines; both influence buyer and charter demand and contribute to the reported market value.
