Dassault Aviation Falcon 900C
The Falcon 900C replaced the 900B in 2000, keeping the same TFE731-5BR engines and 4,000 nm range but adding the five-screen Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics suite. The designation is commercial rather than a separate certified model: it covers Falcon 900s built from serial number 179 with the Primus 2000 package. About 30 were produced before the line closed in 2005.
In short: The Dassault Aviation Falcon 900C is a Large Jet with a range of 4,000 nm, a cruise speed of 500 knots and room for 12 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $7.5M–$9.5M and costs roughly $4,200 an hour to operate (estimate).
