Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N98AC, is a Dassault-built Falcon 50EX constructed in 2002 with manufacturer's serial number 329. The jet is a product of Dassault Aviation and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to PF TRAVEL LLC, an LLC based in Encinitas, CA, US; the airframe's public trail reflects this single listed corporate owner without further recorded transfers. Operated from its U.S. registry by the Encinitas-based LLC, the asset is maintained within the fixed-wing multi-engine business jet sector.
The Falcon 50EX airframe N98AC carries a 22-seat interior configuration suited to high-density corporate, charter, or group-mobility missions rather than stripped VIP layouts; cabin specifics such as finish level and exact cabin plan are not published beyond seating count. Avionics fit for the type typically supports long-range, high-altitude cruise and three-engine redundancy benefits; this particular airframe's avionics log entries are not provided in the record. Typical mission profiles for a 3,075 nm, 430-knot platform include transcontinental U.S. hops and medium-range international sectors from the owner/operator base in Southern California. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Falcon 50EX program—attention to the TFE731-40 engines' documented inspection intervals and the triple-engine systems common to the model are relevant to continued operational availability.
The Dassault Falcon 50EX represents a long-established tri-jet business aircraft niche offering transcontinental range and a 49,000 ft service ceiling, competing historically with other long-range midsize and super-midsize business jets. With a 22-seat layout on N98AC, demand is likely oriented to charter or corporate group transport rather than traditional low-seat VIP ownership. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2002 serial 329 airframe concentrate on engine time, airframe corrosion inspections, and avionics modernization when compared to newer twinjet entrants; buyer interest typically weighs operational cost versus the platform's range and tri-engine redundancy.
