Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N957RC is a 2014-built Dassault Falcon 900LX, serial number 279, registered in the United States. It is owned by Vulcan Materials Company, a corporation based in Birmingham, AL, US, and has been operated in a corporate transport role consistent with its owner’s headquarters. Registry listings for this airframe note an atypical seating count; maintenance and valuation records place the aircraft's market value at $19,500,000, reflecting its relatively recent build and full Honeywell-equipped avionics suite. No major public registry actions beyond ownership and standard corporate operation are recorded in the supplied data.
This airframe is commonly configured with a typical executive interior supporting a 12–14 passenger layout, although registry listings for this airframe show 21 seats, indicating a denser seating arrangement on record for this specific serial. The cabin on this Falcon 900LX is supported by the Honeywell Primus Epic-based EASy II avionics suite, providing advanced flight management, situational awareness and automation for corporate operations. Typical missions for this aircraft include long-range intercontinental corporate transport and executive shuttle flights, exploiting the type’s transcontinental range and high-altitude cruise capability. Operated from its owner’s base in Birmingham, AL, US, the aircraft’s three-engine design requires specialized maintenance oversight and periodic Honeywell component support consistent with corporate fleet practices.
The Dassault Falcon 900LX family occupies a performance niche as a long-range, high-ceiling trijet offering transoceanic capability combined with executive cabin comfort. Competing models in the same market segment include long-range large-cabin twinjets and other trijets, with buyer and charter demand driven by range, cabin flexibility and avionics modernization such as EASy II. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2014 airframe include ongoing support for the Honeywell TFE731 engine line and refurbishment choices between maintaining a typical 12–14 executive interior or retaining the registry-noted 21-seat configuration, both of which will affect marketability and valuation.
