N190MQ1980 Dassault Falcon 50

Overview

This airframe, registered as N190MQ, is a production serial 26 Dassault-built Falcon 50 originally manufactured by DASSAULT-BREGUET in 1980. The jet is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by Worldwide Option LLC (an LLC based in Lewes, DE, US), a detail that reflects its current corporate ownership and home-base association. The airframe is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft and carries the type designation Dassault Falcon 50 in its records.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this airframe is reported in seller listing detail as a nine-passenger executive layout: a forward four-place club, a mid/forward dinette/crew area, an aft two-place club and a four-place divan, complemented by a forward galley and an aft lavatory. Avionics installed on this specific Falcon 50 include dual Collins EFIS 86C, a Universal FMS, Collins TCAS II (TTR-920), and Universal Class B TAWS, with the cockpit fitted with a Collins comm/nav suite per the listing. Typical mission profiles for an aircraft with the listed range and cruise would be medium- to long-range executive transport; operator base is associated with the owner’s location in Lewes, DE, US. Maintenance considerations align with three-engine TFE731 operations and documented avionics suites for compliance and upgrades.

Model & Market Context

The Dassault Falcon 50 family occupies a tri-jet intercontinental executive niche with transcontinental capability, represented here by a 3,084 nm range and 49,000 ft ceiling. Competing models historically include other long-range midsize business jets; buyer and charter demand for this vintage airframe tends to center on cost-conscious buyers seeking classic tri-jet capabilities with updated avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1980 build year, three-engine maintenance complexity, and the impact of the installed avionics and interior on marketability and operating continuity.
