N900KW

This airframe, registration N900KW, is a 1988-built Dassault Falcon 900 (Mystère / 900MSA origin) with manufacturer's serial number 53. The jet is registered in the United States to Alta Airlines Holdings LLC, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, which functions as the airframe’s operator/home base for registry purposes. The airframe retains its original three-engine configuration and factory provenance from Dassault Aviation. No notable registry actions or public valuation adjustments are published for this airframe.

The cabin is outfitted in an executive 16-passenger layout with a forward four-place club, a four-place conference group, four forward-facing club seats, a side-facing four-place divan, and an aft lavatory; flight crew accommodation includes two pilots plus a jumpseat. Avionics and mission systems installed on this airframe include a Honeywell SPZ-8000 autopilot, dual FMZ-2000 FMS units, a Honeywell DA-900 data loader, Primus 700 weather radar, dual Collins VIR-32 navigation transceivers, dual Collins VHF-22B radios, a Collins ADF-60B, dual Collins HF units, LaserRef II IRS, and an L3 cockpit voice and digital flight data recorder (CVR and DFDR). Typical missions for this configuration are long-range executive transport and multinational point-to-point charter operations within the aircraft’s 3,970 nm capability and high-speed cruise of 444 knots, with operator basing in Salt Lake City facilitating transcontinental U.S. and transborder North American sectors. Maintenance considerations emphasize three-engine systems and vintage avionics integration consistent with late-1980s Falcon 900 airframes.

The Dassault Falcon 900 lineage occupies a performance niche for long-range, high-cruise-speed trijets with transcontinental capability and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in the super-midsize to large-cabin sector include other long-range business jets that prioritize range and cabin flexibility; the Falcon 900’s three-engine design distinguishes it operationally for redundancy and climb performance. Buyer and charter demand for late-1980s airframes typically weighs cabin refurbishment, systems upgrades, and engine times; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on TFE731-series engine maintenance intervals and the condition of its original avionics suite.
