About the Dassault Falcon 2000

Type certificated 1994 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The Dassault Falcon 2000 is the original member of Dassault’s super-midsize, wide-body Falcon 2000 family, certified by EASA in 1994 and delivered from 1995. Derived from the trijet Falcon 900 with two engines and a shorter fuselage, it pairs General Electric / Honeywell CFE738 turbofans with Collins Pro Line 4 avionics for about 3,000 nm of range and the stand-up, flat-floor cabin that defines the line. It is the airframe every later Model 2000 grew from: the PW308C-powered 2000EX, the winglet-equipped 2000LX, and today’s short-field 2000S and long-range 2000LXS.

As the oldest and least expensive way into the family, the original 2000 suits a buyer who wants the full Falcon cabin cross-section, the same one carried by the larger Falcon 900, without paying for the latest glass or winglets. The savings are real but partly conditional: the CFE738 is a small, closed engine fleet with thinner support than the PW308C that replaced it, and the original’s Pro Line 4 panel is not natively datalink-capable, so a 3,000 nm airplane that flies the North Atlantic tracks may owe a six-figure FANS upgrade. Both are checkable at the pre-buy.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Lowest entry cost in the family. As the oldest Falcon 2000, the original offers the same cabin cross-section as the later variants and the larger Falcon 900 at the lowest acquisition cost in the line.
Twin-engine wide-body. Two CFE738 turbofans carry the wide Falcon cabin on a twin’s fuel and operating cost rather than the Falcon 900’s three engines.
3,000 nm range. The original crosses the United States nonstop and reaches offshore, with a 47,000 ft ceiling.
2,600 ft landing distance. Short-field access lets the wide-body work regional fields that larger-cabin jets cannot use.

Trade-offs

CFE738 engine support. The CFE738 is a small fleet with fewer overhaul options than the PW308C on the EX and later variants; price engine supportability into the comparison.
Pro Line 4 panel. The original shipped with Collins Pro Line 4 rather than the Primus Epic EASy II that arrived with the EX EASy; expect an older flight deck and confirm datalink status unless already upgraded.
Shorter range, no winglets. The original lacks the blended winglets and added tankage of the LX and LXS, giving up range and high-altitude efficiency to the later variants.
Two-pilot operation. Like every Falcon 2000 it is a two-crew airplane; owner-operator economics must include a second pilot.
