N122PR1998 Dassault Falcon 2000

Overview

This article describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N122PR, a 1998-build Dassault Falcon 2000 with serial number 57. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as co-owned by Handshake Management LLC, based in San Rafael, CA, US, reflecting a multi-party ownership structure rather than a single corporate operator.

Operations & Cabin

The registry lists a 14-seat configuration for N122PR, although operator layouts for the original-series Falcon 2000 commonly feature more executive-focused arrangements of eight to ten seats; this suggests the listed configuration may reflect a higher-density or flexible seating plan rather than a typical corporate executive interior. Avionics are reported as Collins Pro Line 4, which is the typical factory fit for original-series Falcon 2000 airframes, though later retrofits are possible and common across the fleet. With a 3,040 nm range and a cruise around 459 kts, this airframe is capable of transcontinental U.S. missions and shorter international hops from its home base region; maintenance considerations align with two CFE738 engines and the documentation standards associated with co-owned business aircraft.

Model & Market Context

The airframe belongs to the Dassault Falcon 2000 family, a twin-engine, large-cabin business jet positioned for transcontinental speed and comfort while maintaining runway performance suited to a wide range of airports. Competitors in its era and market niche include other large-cabin, mid-size twins offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand for original-series Falcon 2000s is driven by operational economics, interior condition, and avionics fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for N122PR are influenced by its 1998 build year, the CFE738-1-1B engine commonality, the Collins Pro Line 4 avionics baseline, and the co-ownership ownership structure recorded for Handshake Management LLC in San Rafael.
