Falcon sms = transonic????

Semantics DA900A or just DA900:
Little Rock refered to the first group of 900's as "A's" until 1991 when they became "B's" with the TFE731-5BR-1C engines upgrades. At least that's what they called them when I went out with the aircraft to get the engines upgraded.

Directly from the Dassault Press Release:
"The 4,800 nm Falcon 900LX made its first public appearance at EBACE in May 2008 after nearly a year of flight testing and is expected to enter service in the middle of 2010."

From the Dassault Time Line web site:
"Falcon 20-3 is an early trijet design based on the Falcon 20 airframe. Its name was changed to Falcon 50 to show that it was newer than the Falcon 30-40. This particular version, called the Falcon 50A, was dropped in favor of the Falcon 50B with a new supercritical wing to optimize its speed and range."

I don't have the types listed under ratings, they are under aircraft flown. Other then the SMS they have all flown.

I am thinking of changing my call sign to MonsieurFalcon.

So you're claiming to be a Dassault factory demo pilot? Rriiiiight...Remember, MS Flight sim doesn't count.

If we had bought a G-IVSP instead of a Falcon 900EX I would have been just as happy flying it as I was the 900.

The QOL and the money matters a hell of a lot more than what product I fly.


I got over my first Cadillac as well.

Few aircraft embody such an iconic level as genuinely as a Grumman. To a pilot, this jet is a symbol of all that a flying machine should be – and more. A mix of complexity and capability that engages the mind, yet never numbs it; a blend of luxury with the assurance that comfort is still second to safety; a combination of form and function that resonate as one.

But does it have rich Corinthian leather?

I want to know when the G-IIc was certified to 510. Or was it just flight tested to 51?

Lear claims the 28 was the first in '79.

Proof?
