N890LT

This airframe, registered as N890LT, is a 1997-built Dassault Falcon 900EX with serial number 19. The jet is listed on the U.S. registry and is owned by the corporation LIFE TIME INC, located in Chanhassen, MN, US; the registration and corporate ownership establish the operator/home base linkage to Minnesota. The aircraft’s history for this entry is concise: registered to LIFE TIME INC as a corporate transport, with no other ownership events published in the supplied data. Valuation records indicate the airframe's market value at $9,805,986, reflecting its age, three-engine configuration, and executive-fit condition.

This specific Falcon 900EX is configured in an executive layout in registry records but indicates 21 seats, with typical executive fits noted at 12–14 passengers configurable, suggesting flexibility between high-capacity and traditional VIP arrangements. Typical mission profiles for this airframe combine transcontinental and intercontinental corporate transport tasks enabled by a long 4,500 nm range and high cruise speed of 459 kts, allowing nonstop routings for coast-to-coast U.S. flights and transatlantic sectors. Based at the owner’s location in Chanhassen, MN, the aircraft’s operations would be consistent with corporate shuttle duties, executive travel and occasional charter-like use under corporate operator control. Maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on legacy three-engine systems and TFE731-series engine support requirements specific to older Falcon 900EX airframes.

The Dassault Falcon 900EX family occupies the long-range, ultra-long-range tri-jet corporate niche, known for transoceanic capability and high-altitude performance to 51,000 ft. Competing models include large-cabin long-range twins and ultra-long-range business jets from Gulfstream and Bombardier; the Falcon’s three-engine layout and executive cabin flexibility appeal to buyers prioritizing redundancy and range. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1997 serial-number 19 airframe include ongoing costs for airframe aging, engine shop visits for Honeywell TFE731 units, and market demand tied to cabin refurbishments and updated avionics to remain competitive.
