Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N957EC, is a 1979-built Dassault Falcon 10 with manufacturer's serial number 146. The aircraft was manufactured by Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation) and for the airframe record the listed owner is the corporate entity BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, operating as a US-registered corporate aircraft. The airframe is recorded in commercial-type service as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and carries a US registration; ownership by a corporate trustee is the principal notable ownership entry for this airframe on public records.
The Falcon 10 serial 146 is configured as an 11-seat light-corporate jet, supporting short- to medium-range missions from a Salt Lake City, UT operator base under its corporate trustee ownership. Avionics for the Falcon 10 series are commonly updated with dual Collins avionics or ProLine-style suites; exact avionics fit for this specific airframe is reported generically as a typical retrofit option and the exact fit for this airframe is not published. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include multi-city point-to-point executive transport and air-taxi style charter legs within a roughly 1,800 nm radius at cruise speeds near 430 knots, with operational ceilings up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for an aircraft of this vintage can include fatigue-era inspections and systems retrofits common to late-1970s airframes.
The Dassault Falcon 10 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche among late-1970s designs, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than many contemporaries while remaining a compact executive platform. Competing models historically included small-cabin light jets from other European and US manufacturers; resale and operational economics for a 1979 Falcon 10 are influenced by engine TFE731 supportability, avionics retrofit status, and the aircraft’s maintenance and corrosion history. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor examples with modern avionics and well-documented maintenance records.
