N197MJ1985 Dassault Falcon 10

Overview

This airframe, registered as N197MJ, is a 1985-built example of the Dassault Falcon 10 (Falcon 100) with manufacturer serial number 197. It is recorded as owned by Skyview LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is operated or domiciled from that location under US registration.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Falcon 10 configuration accommodates 11 seats, supporting short- to medium-range corporate missions within the aircraft’s 1,900 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 452 kts. Operated from its owner’s base in Wilmington, DE, US, the jet is suited to point-to-point executive transport and charter-like missions typical for older light-cabin business jets. Avionics fit and interior finish particulars are not published here; maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the Garrett TFE731 engine family and the airframe’s 1985 build year, which can necessitate lifecycle inspections and component support appropriate to its age and use history.

Model & Market Context

As a member of the Dassault Falcon 10/Falcon 100 family, this airframe occupies a niche for compact, high-performance light-cabin business jets, offering transregional capability to flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Competing models in the same era filled similar executive roles; market demand for such older Falcons is influenced by total time, maintenance status, and ownership history, all of which factor into resale and operational economics.
