N8LT

The airframe bearing tail number N8LT is a 1980-built Dassault Falcon 10, serial number 173, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity AVIATION ENTERPRISES INC, based in Marietta, GA, US; this corporate ownership constitutes the primary recorded operator/home base relationship for the airframe. Registry records list the aircraft with a maximum of 11 seats and establish a market valuation of $500,000, reflecting its age and configuration. No public record of multiple ownership transfers or major registry actions is noted beyond the current corporate registration.

The listed cabin for this Falcon 10 airframe is a typical executive layout, commonly fitted for 6–8 passenger executive seating, though the registry records an 11-seat maximum for this specific aircraft. The configuration supports short to mid-range corporate missions and shuttle-type transfers consistent with the aircraft’s 1,800 nm range and high cruise speed. The corporate owner in Marietta, GA, suggests basing and maintenance operations are likely conducted from that location, with routine mission profiles concentrating on continental U.S. point-to-point executive transport. Avionics fit and specific interior appointments for this airframe are not published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations for a 1980 airframe of this type typically factor age, component life limits, and the availability of spare parts for the TFE731 series engines, but no unique maintenance history is provided for N8LT.

The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies a light-corporate jet niche offering relatively high cruise speed and transcontinental step capability within its class, as reflected by the 428 kt cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the light twin-jet executive category often influence buyer and charter demand, and the Falcon 10’s older airframe year (1980) combined with an assessed value of $500,000 affects resale dynamics. Prospective buyers and operators typically weigh engine TBO and refurbishment costs against operating performance; for this aircraft the twin AiResearch / Garrett TFE731 powerplants are a central factor in maintenance and resale considerations.
