The aircraft is equipped with the 3rd‑generation EASy flight deck (Honeywell Primus Epic) and an optional FalconEye combined vision system, supporting demanding long-range missions and single-pilot-capable cockpit philosophies typical of the Falcon family. Typical missions for this configuration include transoceanic executive transport and long-haul point-to-point corporate travel, leveraging the 6,450 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow tri‑jet systems and PW307D engine programs; any operator-specific amenities and bespoke interior components will influence ongoing upkeep cycles and cabin refurbishment planning.
The Dassault Falcon 8X occupies the long-range ultra‑long‑range business jet niche within Dassault’s trijet line, offering extended intercontinental range and high-altitude performance up to 51,000 ft. It competes with other ultra‑long‑range business jets in terms of range, speed, and cabin flexibility; buyers and charter operators value the Falcon 8X for efficiency on long sectors and flexible cabin layouts. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2018 serial 450 airframe with a factory VIP completion and modern avionics suite include engine program participation for the PW307D trio and the market premium commanded by late‑model, fully equipped long‑range Falcons.
