N980DM

This airframe, N980DM, is a 1993-built Dassault Falcon 50 with serial number 238. The jet is recorded as owned by FALCON FAWZI LLC (an LLC based in Pembroke Pines, FL, US) and carries US registration. The airframe was noted as refurbished in 2018 on operator listings and is valued at $3,500,000; the 2018 refurbishment is a notable recent entry in its operational history. The aircraft’s condition and valuation reflect its age, three-engine configuration, and completion history.

The cabin is configured in an executive layout for 9–10 passengers, with operator listings specifically showing 9 passenger seating after the noted 2018 refurbishment. Typical missions for this airframe would focus on medium- to long-range business and executive transport within its 3,500 nm range and transcontinental capabilities, exploiting its cruise speed around 479 kts and high-altitude capability to FL490. The operator is based in Pembroke Pines, FL, which positions the aircraft for both domestic U.S. charters and international flights into the Caribbean and Central America. Specific avionics fit and bespoke interior amenities are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations for this airframe would emphasize the three TFE731 engines and the lifecycle management typical of early-1990s Falcons, particularly given the airframe’s refurbishment history.

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies a niche for tri-jet, long-range executive travel that blends transoceanic capability with performance higher than many light jets of its era. Competing models for buyers seeking similar range and speed include later-generation super-midsize and long-range business jets, though few contemporary aircraft use a tri-engine layout. Buyer and charter demand for a 1993 Falcon 50 like N980DM depends heavily on completion condition, logbook continuity, and the outcome of periodic major maintenance; the published valuation of $3,500,000 reflects these resale and maintenance considerations.
