N957CJ

This entry covers airframe N957CJ, a business jet built in 1976 bearing manufacturer serial number 357. The airframe is a Dassault Falcon 20F-5 manufactured by Dassault-Breguet and is recorded as owned by corporation USA JET AIRLINES INC of Belleville, MI, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and its current documented market valuation is $1,400,000. Acquired and operated by USA JET AIRLINES INC, the airframe’s age and equipment complement define its present condition and registry status for corporate operations.

The interior of N957CJ is configured in a typical executive 8–10-place layout and is commonly fitted with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, delivering an executive cabin environment across its 10-seat certification. Avionics listings identify a Collins avionics suite with TCAS II reported as part of the installed equipment set, supporting mixed corporate and charter operations within U.S. airspace. With a cruise speed of 436 kts and a mission range of 1,780 nm, this airframe is suited to medium-haul point-to-point business missions operated from its home location in Belleville, MI, US. Maintenance considerations for this unit reflect its vintage 1976 manufacture date, modernized engine and avionics installs, and the need to sustain certification and systems such as TCAS II for charter and corporate compliance.

The Dassault Falcon 20F-5 airframe represented by N957CJ occupies a performance niche for executive twinjets emphasizing moderate transcontinental range and high cruise speed for its era, reaching a ceiling of 42,000 ft. With Honeywell TFE731-5BR powerplants and a reported value of $1,400,000, buyers and operators weigh lifecycle maintenance and avionics upgrades against operating economics and resale prospects. The aircraft’s age and documented equipment mix drive demand primarily among operators seeking rugged, proven airframes for corporate shuttle, on-demand charter, or repositioning missions where legacy airframe robustness and upgraded avionics like Collins/TCAS II are valued.
