What the Dassault Falcon 50 is like

Three-engine super-midsize trijet (the first business jet capable of nonstop transatlantic crossings), typically seating 9 in a comfortable stand-up cabin. Its tri-jet redundancy and strong short-field performance make it a favorite for US coast-to-coast, oceanic, and smaller-airport missions; the upgraded 50EX adds range and efficiency.

Where the Dassault Falcon 50 flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 3,185 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.

Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.

Questions

Dassault Falcon 50: charter questions

Typically 9 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 3,185 nautical miles (5,899 km, 3,665 statute miles), or roughly 7 hours at its typical cruise speed of 470 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 470 knots, about 541 mph or 870 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Yes, on paper. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nautical miles, within the Dassault Falcon 50’s 3,185, and takes roughly 4.5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. Los Angeles to Tokyo (4,746 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
A super-midsize jet. Stand-up cabins with the range for coast-to-coast flights nonstop. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Bombardier Challenger 350, Cessna Citation X, Bombardier Challenger 300 and Dassault Falcon 2000.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
