Dassault Falcon 900 Overview
The Dassault Falcon 900 is a heavy jet manufactured by Dassault Aviation, produced from 1986-present. Classified as a large-cabin aircraft, the Dassault Falcon 900 carries up to 14 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 481 knots with a range of 4,000 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for transcontinental and international missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 36 active Dassault Falcon 900 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 3x Honeywell TFE731-5AR/BR, each producing 4,750 lbs each of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 481 knots (Mach 0.87), with a long-range cruise of 459 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 51,000 feet puts the Dassault Falcon 900 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 4,850 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 4,000 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Dassault Falcon 900 handles coast-to-coast operations with fuel reserves, and reaches many European destinations from the Eastern seaboard. Typical hourly operating costs range from $4,200-$5,800 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Dassault Falcon 900 cabin measures 33.2 ft long, 7.7 ft wide, and 6.2 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 14 passengers, with 127 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Honeywell Primus/EASy avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
The tri-engine design provides exceptional safety and short-field performance. For those considering acquisition or evaluating options to sell, understanding the transition between variants is essential for informed decision-making. Well-maintained Dassault Falcon 900 aircraft remain sought after in the pre-owned market, with strong demand from both private owners and charter operators.
