Model & Market Context

The airframe N901SS is a 2000-built Dassault Falcon 900C, serial number 187, registered in the United States and owned by RCK AVIATION LLC of Woodside, California. The airframe’s registry indicates corporate ownership and operation from Woodside, CA as its operator/home base. Maintenance and valuation records reflect a market value of $9,000,000, consistent with an early-2000s Falcon 900C in typical corporate configuration. Ownership is held by the corporation RCK AVIATION LLC, and no other registry events are published in the provided data.

The cabin of N901SS is furnished in a typical three-zone executive layout with approximately 12 passenger executive seating, featuring a forward galley and both forward and aft lavatories. Avionics are fitted with a Honeywell Primus 2000 suite as delivered, with the note that Primus/EASy upgrades are common on later retrofit for this airframe type. Mission profiles for this airframe are consistent with long-range corporate operations—transcontinental and transoceanic legs within the 3,995 nm range and cruise performance near 513 kts—operated from its Woodside, CA base. Operational considerations for this specific aircraft include the trijet engine maintenance cycle for three Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1C engines and the upkeep of a multi-zone executive interior typical of corporate jets of its vintage.

The Dassault Falcon 900C family occupies a mid-to-large executive trijet niche, offering extended range and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft compared to many twin-engine business jets. Competing models in its era include other long-range executive types targeted at corporate flight departments and charter operators. Buyer and charter demand for a 2000-vintage Falcon 900C such as N901SS is influenced by condition, avionics fit (notably Primus 2000 vs. retrofit EASy), and the cumulative maintenance history of its three TFE731 engines, all factors that bear on resale and operating costs reflected in the stated $9,000,000 valuation.
