A Dassault Falcon 20 / 200 costs about EUR 59,725 a month to run, or about EUR 2,533 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Dassault Falcon 20 / 200 is a French twin engine business jet built by Dassault Aviation. The Falcon 20 first flew in 1963, entered service in the mid 1960s and remained in production through the 1980s, with the Falcon 200 introduced as a later development. It occupies the classic midsize jet category, with a pressurized cabin, transcontinental capability and robust systems derived from Dassault’s military and business aircraft experience. The type is historically important as Dassault’s first successful business jet family and as the aircraft that established the Falcon name in the corporate market.
Typical cruise speeds are in the mid 400 knot range, depending on model, engine fit and operating weight. Range is commonly around 1,700 to 2,000 nautical miles, with the Falcon 200 generally offering improved range over earlier Falcon 20 versions because of its Garrett ATF3 turbofan engines and increased fuel capacity. Certified ceiling is typically 42,000 feet. Most Falcon 20 variants use General Electric CF700 series turbofans, while the Falcon 200 uses Garrett ATF3 engines. Useful load and available payload vary significantly by subvariant, interior, avionics upgrades and any cargo conversion, so individual weight and balance records are especially important.
The Falcon 20 / 200 usually seats 8 to 10 passengers in executive configuration, with some aircraft arranged for fewer seats and more galley, storage or club space. The cabin is narrower and lower than modern midsize jets, but it offers a practical flat floor layout and a separate lavatory. Many airframes have been refurbished multiple times, so cabin condition varies widely. Original avionics were analog and commonly based on Collins or similar equipment. Used aircraft may now have upgrades such as dual GPS, FMS, weather radar, RVSM capability, TCAS, ADS-B Out, Garmin GTN navigators or later Collins and Honeywell components rather than integrated Garmin Perspective or G1000 suites.
For buyers, the Dassault Falcon 20 / 200 is usually positioned as a low acquisition cost, higher operating cost legacy jet. Inspection focus should include engine status, hot section and overhaul history, corrosion checks, fuel system condition, landing gear life limits, pressurization, avionics compliance, logbook continuity and parts availability. Common market distinctions include early Falcon 20C, 20D, 20E and 20F models, cargo converted aircraft, and the Falcon 200 with ATF3 engines. Well documented executive aircraft with modern avionics and current inspections are generally more desirable than deferred maintenance examples, even when purchase prices appear similar.
