N50YT Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N50YT is powered by 3x Honeywell TFE731-3, each producing 3,700 lbs each. The Dassault Falcon 50 cruises at 481 knots with a range of 3,000 nautical miles under standard reserves. This covers most transcontinental routes without a fuel stop.
Mission Profile
N50YT's Dassault Falcon 50 cabin accommodates 10 passengers across 23.5 ft of usable length. At 6.1 ft wide and 5.9 ft tall, the cross-section allows comfortable club seating, a conference group, and a divan for longer flights.
Charter Authorization
N50YT operates under a Part 135 certificate for on-demand charter. The Dassault Falcon 50's coast-to-coast range and 10-passenger cabin make it a strong fit for corporate group travel. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
The Dassault Falcon 50 fleet includes a wide range of configurations and avionics suites across production years. N50YT's 1996 vintage places it in a specific generation of the platform. Buyers comparing airframes should focus on avionics upgrade status, interior refurbishment date, and engine program enrollment rather than total airframe hours alone.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N50YT, a 1996 Falcon under , carries French military engineering heritage dating back to Dassault's Mystere fighter program. Below is the operational context.
Fleet Position
Over 1,200 early Falcons (10, 20, 50) were produced. Approximately 200 remain on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N50YT based in 10 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
N50YT 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
N50YT is a 1996 Falcon 50 from the late production run. Pre-owned values range from $1M to $3M. The late Falcon 50 benefits from the most refined version of the tri-engine design, with improved TFE731-40 engines and updated Collins avionics.
The Falcon 50 occupies a unique position: three engines provide safety margins for overwater operations, and the leading-edge slats allow approach speeds 20 knots slower than competing twin-engine jets. For operators who fly regularly to the Caribbean, Bahamas, or across the Atlantic, the tri-engine configuration is a genuine safety differentiator.
Mission Profile
The early Falcon family covers diverse mission profiles. The Falcon 10 handles short European routes. The Falcon 20 serves cargo, maritime patrol, and VIP transport. The Falcon 50 handles intercontinental routes up to 3,000 nm with tri-engine safety. Each variant carries Dassault's signature approach speed advantage from leading-edge slats.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the early Falcon if U.S. service convenience is a priority. Dassault's North American service centers are fewer than Cessna's or Gulfstream's. Scheduled maintenance may require positioning to Teterboro, Little Rock, or Reno.
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.
