Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N998BM is a Dassault Falcon 20F-5BR built in 1988, manufacturer's serial 20F-0474. The airframe is recorded in US civil registration and is owned by FJV LLC, an LLC based in Holland, MI, US, which appears as the operator/home base on recent registry entries. The airframe's documented market valuation is $1,400,000, reflecting its age, configuration and installed systems. No public record of multiple ownership transfers is provided in the supplied data.
The cabin of N998BM is outfitted in an executive nine-passenger configuration with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, tailored to corporate transport and short-to-medium international hops within the aircraft’s 1,808 nm range. Avionics are Collins-centered and include a Collins FCC-4011 flight control/computer element, Dual Universal UNS-1F FMS units, Collins ADF-60, Collins TDR-94D transponders and Collins TWR-850 weather radar, complemented by Honeywell Mark VII EGPWS and TCAS for enhanced situational awareness and safety. Typical mission profiles for this airframe under its owner's operation would be executive charter or company transport at cruise speeds near 405 kts and operational ceilings up to 42,000 ft. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin TFE731-5BR powerplants and the avionics suite lifecycle needs appropriate to a 1988-built airframe.
The Dassault Falcon 20F-5BR occupies a small-cabin, medium-range business jet niche within the Falcon 20 family, offering transcontinental capability and a high cruise speed for its class. Competitors in its era and market segment include other light-to-midsize business jets retrofitted with modern avionics; buyer demand typically focuses on airframes with comprehensive avionics and updated safety equipment, such as the Collins-centered suite and Honeywell EGPWS/TCAS installed on this aircraft. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on aging-structure inspections, engine TFE731-5BR support, and the ongoing relevance of the installed Collins avionics in the used business-jet market.
