Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N970SF is a 2007-built Dassault Falcon 900EX, manufacturer Dassault Aviation, serial number 194. The FAA registration shows corporate ownership by TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc Trustee, located in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and the configuration and records indicate a valuation near $15,000,000. Ownership by a trustee corporation suggests operation in a non-individual, asset-management context rather than private individual possession. The aircraft is registered in the US and retains documentation reflecting a high-density seating certification alongside typical VIP-fit possibilities for this model.
The registration and records for N970SF list 21 seats, indicating a high-density certification for this specific airframe, while the Falcon 900EX platform commonly supports VIP cabin arrangements of 8–12 executive seats. Avionics fit for EASy-equipped 900EX examples is typically the Honeywell Primus / EASy family, consistent with this airframe's configuration. Typical missions for this airframe would leverage long-range transcontinental or intercontinental sectors up to 4,500 nm at cruise speeds near 435 kts and operating altitudes to 51,000 ft. Based in North Salt Lake, UT, US under trustee corporate ownership, the aircraft’s operational considerations include maintaining three-engine TFE731-60-1C systems and adherence to VIP or high-density interior maintenance depending on operator use.
The Dassault Falcon 900EX occupies the long-range, long-range executive tri-jet niche within fixed-wing multi-engine business aviation, balancing intercontinental range with high-altitude performance to 51,000 ft. Comparable buyer and charter demand typically hinges on cabin layout choice (VIP 8–12 versus high-density 21), lifecycle engine maintenance for the three Honeywell TFE731-60-1C engines, and avionics modernization of the Honeywell Primus / EASy family. At an estimated value of $15,000,000, resale and upkeep considerations reflect the platform’s complexity, age since 2007 manufacture, and serial identity 194.
