N900KE

This airframe, registered as N900KE, is a Dassault-Breguet Falcon 50 built in 1986 with manufacturer's serial number 052. The aircraft is manufactured by Dassault-Breguet and is recorded as owned by N900KE LLC, an entity based in Dallas, TX, US; this ownership is the primary known registry entry for the airframe. The Falcon 50 airframe retains its U.S. registration and is valued at $1,199,000, reflecting market condition and age considerations for mid-1980s long-range business jets. No other operator history or notable registry actions are published beyond the current LLC ownership.

The cabin of this Falcon 50 is configured in an executive 9-passenger layout with a forward 4-place club, mid/forward club seating, and an aft divan, supplemented by a forward galley and a forward crew lavatory with jump seat; this layout supports corporate transport and executive shuttle missions. Avionics fitted to the airframe include a Collins Pro Line II suite with dual Collins FD-109 flight directors, Collins APS-80 autopilot, TCAS II, Collins TWR-850 weather radar, dual Collins DME/VHF, and a Mode S transponder, enabling compliance with modern enroute and terminal navigation and traffic awareness requirements. With a cruise speed of 420 kts and a range of 3,084 nm, typical operations would include transcontinental missions and offshore sector hops from the registered base in Dallas, TX. Maintenance considerations reflect three-engine architecture and avionics commonality with Pro Line II-equipped fleets.

The Dassault-Breguet Falcon 50 family occupies the three-engine, long-range, light-to-medium corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high service ceiling of 49,000 ft. Competing models in its era include late-model midsize jets and other long-range light-cabin trijets; buyer and charter demand for 1980s Falcons tends to focus on value-conscious operators seeking range and redundancy. Key resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include lifecycle costs associated with aging Garrett TFE731 engines and upgraded avionics compliance, factors reflected in its stated market value of $1,199,000.
