N785AD Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Dassault Falcon 2000EX delivers 481 knots at cruise altitude with 3,800 nautical miles of range. N785AD's 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C produce 7,000 lbs per side, supporting an operating ceiling of 47,000 feet. That altitude keeps the aircraft above most turbulence and commercial traffic.
Mission Profile
N785AD's Dassault Falcon 2000EX cabin accommodates 12 passengers across 26.2 ft of usable length. At 7.7 ft wide and 6.2 ft tall, the cross-section allows comfortable club seating, a conference group, and a divan for longer flights.
Charter Authorization
N785AD's Part 135 certificate covers on-demand charter. The Dassault Falcon 2000EX handles the corporate missions that midsize jets cannot: larger passenger groups, longer legs, and the cabin volume for all-day travel.
Insider Note
Operating costs for the Dassault Falcon 2000EX typically run $4,000-$5,500 per flight hour. That includes fuel, crew, maintenance reserves, and insurance. N785AD's operator carries these costs as part of a Part 135 program, where hourly revenue from charter offsets fixed expenses.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N785AD is a 2008 Falcon 2000 held by CS INVESTMENTS LLC. Dassault has delivered over 600 Falcon 2000-series aircraft. This briefing covers what separates the Falcon from competing large-cabin jets.
Fleet Position
Over 600 Falcon 2000-series aircraft are in service globally, with approximately 200 on U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N785AD based in DALLAS, TX. The Falcon 2000 occupies a niche in the U.S. market: operators who need the cabin width of a Challenger but value the Falcon's lower approach speeds and shorter runway requirements.
Charter Availability
N785AD is Part 135 charter authorized. Falcon 2000 charter rates range from $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. The Falcon is less common on U.S. charter certificates than the Challenger, which means availability can be tighter in some regions. Positioning from DALLAS may add $4,000 to $8,000. The tradeoff: the Falcon's wider cabin (7.7 feet vs 7.2 feet on the Challenger) and lower cabin noise levels create a measurably different passenger experience.
Market Position
N785AD is a 2008 Falcon 2000EX with the PW308C engines and the EASy glass cockpit. Pre-owned values sit at $5M to $10M. The EX brought a 900 nm range increase over the Classic and significantly improved hot-and-high performance. The EASy cockpit interface remains current-generation and is shared across the entire Falcon family, reducing pilot transition costs.
At this vintage, the Falcon 2000EX competes with mid-production Challenger 604s and early Challenger 605s. The Falcon's advantages: wider cabin, lower approach speeds (Vref around 107 knots versus 130+ on the Challenger), and better short-field access. The Challenger's advantage: slightly lower operating costs per hour and a larger service network in North America.
Mission Profile
Core strength: the widest cabin in the large-cabin class (7.7 feet) combined with the slowest approach speeds. For passengers, that means a flat-floor cabin wider than a Challenger with the ability to access airports closer to the final destination. For pilots, it means greater safety margins on short and challenging runways. That combination is unique in business aviation.
When to Choose Something Else
Do not acquire a Falcon 2000 if North American service access is your top priority. Dassault's service network in the U.S. is smaller than Cessna's or Bombardier's. Scheduled maintenance and unscheduled AOG events may require ferry flights to a Dassault service center, adding downtime and cost that Citation or Challenger operators rarely face domestically.
Ownership & Operations
Part 91 operations cover owner-flown and company-flown aircraft under general operating rules. Part 135 governs on-demand air charter, requiring higher crew qualifications, maintenance standards, and operational oversight. An aircraft can operate under both parts: Part 91 for owner use and Part 135 when offered for charter revenue. Dual-use arrangements offset ownership costs by generating charter income during idle periods.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Pre-purchase inspections are non-negotiable in aircraft acquisitions. A qualified maintenance facility conducts a detailed review of airframe, engines, avionics, and records. Inspection costs range from $15,000 to $75,000 depending on aircraft size and complexity. Findings from the pre-buy determine final pricing, identify upcoming maintenance events, and reveal any damage history that affects value.
Charter Market Context
Charter demand for business jets follows seasonal and economic patterns. Q4 (October through December) sees peak demand driven by year-end business travel, holiday flights, and tax planning (asset purchases before December 31). Q1 starts strong with CES, Davos, and Super Bowl driving specific route demand. Summer leisure travel to resort destinations creates predictable seasonal corridors.
