N211EC Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Dassault Falcon 10 delivers 475-knot cruise speed across 1,800 NM. N211EC is powered by 2x Honeywell TFE731-2 at 3,230 lbs each, supporting a ceiling of 45,000 feet. Efficient and direct for most domestic city pairs under 1,500 miles.
Mission Profile
For 1-3 hour missions with 4-7 passengers, the Dassault Falcon 10 delivers the best cost per seat-mile in the jet segment. N211EC seats 7 in a 13.3 ft by 4.9 ft by 4.8 ft cabin built for speed and efficiency.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N211EC. This Dassault Falcon 10 operates under a Part 135 certificate for regional and short-haul missions. Contact The Jet Finder to check scheduling.
Insider Note
One advantage of the light jet category: single-pilot certification. Many Dassault Falcon 10 variants are approved for single-pilot operations, reducing crew costs. N211EC's specific configuration and operator certificate determine whether single-pilot dispatch applies.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N211EC is a 1980 Falcon under . The Falcon 50's tri-engine design provides overwater safety margins that twin-engine jets cannot match.
Fleet Position
Over 1,200 early Falcons (10, 20, 50) were produced. Approximately 200 remain on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N211EC based in 7 passengers, . The Falcon 50 remains valued for its tri-engine configuration and short-field capability. Parts support continues through Dassault Falcon Jet's U.S. service network.
Charter Availability
N211EC is Part 135 charter authorized. Early Falcon charter rates range from $4,000 to $7,000 per flight hour depending on variant. The Falcon 50's tri-engine safety record and European airport accessibility make it a niche charter choice for passengers who value the Dassault brand.
Market Position
As a 1980 airframe, N211EC is a classic Falcon (10, 20, or early 50). Pre-owned values sit at $300K to $1M. These aircraft represent the most affordable entry into Dassault jet ownership. The Falcon 20's General Electric CF700 engines have decades of remaining support through the cargo conversion fleet.
Pre-buy reality: engine overhaul timing is critical. CF700 overhauls run $200,000 to $350,000 per engine. TFE731 overhauls on the Falcon 10 and 50 run $200,000 to $300,000 per engine (times three on the Falcon 50). Corrosion status and pressurization system integrity are the primary airframe concerns at this age.
Mission Profile
The early Falcon series represents Dassault's fighter-jet design philosophy applied to business aviation: swept wings for speed, leading-edge slats for low-speed control, and overbuilt airframes designed for decades of service. French military standards produced aircraft that outlast their maintenance schedules.
When to Choose Something Else
The early Falcon is wrong if modern avionics and cabin amenities matter. Classic Falcons have analog cockpits and cabins that reflect their era. For passengers who expect LED lighting, powered window shades, and connectivity, a modern aircraft is the appropriate choice.
Ownership & Operations
Operating costs for business jets break into fixed and variable categories. Fixed costs (hangar, insurance, crew salaries, management fees) accrue whether the aircraft flies or not. Variable costs (fuel, maintenance reserves, landing fees, handling) scale with flight hours. Owners flying fewer than 200 hours annually often find charter or fractional ownership more economical than whole aircraft ownership.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Total time on airframe and engines is the primary metric for aircraft valuation. Lower-time aircraft command premium pricing but cost more upfront. Higher-time aircraft offer lower acquisition cost but carry higher near-term maintenance exposure. The break-even analysis depends on planned utilization: buyers flying 400+ hours annually amortize acquisition cost faster and tolerate higher initial investment.
Charter Market Context
Jet card programs and membership plans lock in hourly rates for guaranteed availability. Cards typically require a $50,000 to $500,000 deposit and offer 24 to 48 hour booking windows with fixed hourly pricing. The value depends on usage frequency: clients flying 25+ hours annually benefit from rate certainty and guaranteed availability. Below 25 hours, on-demand charter often provides better economics.
