N900BK

This entry describes airframe N900BK, a specific production example of the Dassault Falcon 900C built by Dassault Aviation in 2000 with manufacturer's serial number 187. The jet is registered in the United States and is registered to RCK AVIATION LLC of Woodside, CA, US, reflecting a single-owner corporate registration pattern consistent with private executive operation. The airframe carries a typical late-production Falcon 900C valuation of $9,300,000, and its equipment and layout support dedicated executive transport missions; routine registry actions have recorded corporate ownership and U.S. registration status for this tail number.

The specific cabin of N900BK is fitted in a typical executive 12-place layout with a forward galley, forward crew station, and an aft lavatory, and it provides approximately 127 cu ft of baggage capacity. Operated from its home base in Woodside, California, under the corporate ownership of RCK AVIATION LLC, the aircraft is configured for business executive transport missions over long transcontinental and transoceanic sectors enabled by its nearly 4,000 nm range and high cruise speed. Avionics fit and maintenance status are as maintained by the registered operator; maintenance considerations for this tri-jet airframe include routine inspections and specialized support for its three Honeywell / AlliedSignal TFE731 series engines. The interior configuration and baggage volume prioritize passenger comfort and staging for multi-leg executive itineraries.

The Dassault Falcon 900C family occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche in fixed-wing, multi-engine business aviation, offering a combination of transoceanic range and high-altitude performance exemplified by N900BK’s 51,000 ft ceiling and 428 kt cruise. With three medium-bypass turbofan engines rated at 4,750 lbf each, operators value the Falcon 900C for redundancy, climb performance, and flexible mission profiles. Market considerations for this airframe include continued demand from corporate owners for mature, well-equipped executive platforms and the impact of maintenance history and interior condition on resale value, reflected in the listed $9,300,000 valuation for this 2000-built example.
