N4CE Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
3x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A give the Dassault Falcon 7X a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, operating well above weather and congested airspace. N4CE cruises at 481 knots, connecting city pairs across 5,950 nautical miles in a single fuel load. For operators routing New York to Dubai or Los Angeles to Tokyo, this range eliminates the cost and delay of a tech stop.
Mission Profile
N4CE is configured for the missions that define ultra-long-range aviation: board meetings that cross time zones, ownership transitions between hemispheres, and routing that treats oceans as waypoints rather than barriers. The Dassault Falcon 7X's 16-seat cabin at 39.1 ft by 7.7 ft by 6.2 ft delivers the space to do all of this without compromise.
Charter Authorization
This Dassault Falcon 7X holds active Part 135 authorization for on-demand charter. N4CE is available through its certificated operator for domestic and international missions. Contact us to confirm scheduling and positioning.
Insider Note
In this segment, maintenance program enrollment is not optional. N4CE's 3x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A are almost certainly enrolled in a manufacturer-backed hourly cost program, spreading major inspection costs across flight hours rather than requiring lump-sum payments. Buyers should verify enrollment status, as it directly affects resale value and operating budget predictability.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N4CE is a 2011 Falcon held by X PEGASUS LLC. Dassault's tri-engine 7X/8X family combines intercontinental range with the approach speeds of a regional turboprop. This briefing covers what that means for charter and acquisition.
Fleet Position
Over 350 Falcon 7X/8X aircraft are in service globally, with approximately 100 on U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N4CE based in HOUSTON, TX. The 7X/8X is the only ultra-long-range business jet with three engines and fly-by-wire flight controls, giving it approach characteristics that no Gulfstream or Global can match.
Charter Availability
N4CE is Part 135 charter authorized. Falcon 7X/8X charter rates range from $8,000 to $13,000 per flight hour. The aircraft is less common on U.S. charter certificates than the G550 or Global, making availability tighter. Positioning from HOUSTON may require $5,000 to $12,000. The premium is justified for missions that require both intercontinental range and access to challenging airports at either end.
Market Position
As a 2011 airframe, N4CE is an early Falcon 7X. Pre-owned values sit at $15M to $22M. Early 7Xs established the platform's reputation for reliability and fly-by-wire precision. The EASy II cockpit remains current-generation, and the three PW307A engines provide proven performance.
Pre-buy considerations: PW307A engine inspections ($400,000 to $600,000 per engine, times three), landing gear overhaul status, and fly-by-wire system software baseline. The 7X's digital flight control system requires specialized maintenance, but Dassault's support infrastructure has matured significantly since early deliveries.
Mission Profile
The Falcon 7X/8X handles intercontinental routes with approach speeds that other ultra-long-range jets cannot match. New York to London City Airport nonstop: impossible on a G550 or Global (they cannot land there). Paris to Tokyo nonstop in 11 hours. Miami to Geneva in 9 hours. The 7X/8X opens city pairs where the destination airport is the differentiator.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the Falcon 7X/8X for maximum speed. The 7X cruises at Mach 0.86 and the 8X at Mach 0.86 versus the G650 at Mach 0.925. On a transatlantic crossing, the speed difference is 30 to 45 minutes. If arrival time is the primary metric, the Gulfstream family is faster.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft management companies handle the operational complexity of jet ownership. They provide crew, maintenance tracking, regulatory compliance, insurance, and hangar coordination. Management fees run $8,000 to $25,000 per month depending on aircraft size. For owners who fly 100 to 300 hours annually, professional management reduces risk and administrative burden while maintaining access to Part 135 charter revenue.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Engine program enrollment significantly affects aircraft value and operating economics. Programs like Rolls-Royce CorporateCare, Pratt & Whitney Eagle Service Plan, and Honeywell MSP spread major engine costs into predictable hourly rates. Aircraft enrolled in these programs command 10 to 20% higher resale values than non-enrolled equivalents because buyers avoid the risk of unbudgeted engine overhauls.
Charter Market Context
The Jet Finder sources charter aircraft from a network of vetted Part 135 operators. We do not own aircraft. This broker model ensures clients see competitive options across multiple operators rather than being limited to a single fleet. Pricing transparency comes from comparing 3 to 5 operator quotes on every request. The client sees all options and chooses based on aircraft, price, and operator quality.
