and vibration and features a full galley, standup lavatory, 28 large windows and advanced
temperature controls. There is also an option

1.5 1 assault called upon its
extensive experience
in designing military
aircraft and broke new ground with
the Falcon 7X, the first business jet
equipped with a digital flight control system (DFCS). This fly-by
wire system allows for greater pilot
control and reduces pilot workload.
Introduced in 2005 and delivered in
2007 the Falcon 7X employs three
Pratt & Whitney PW307A engines
and, while it lands in fourth place in
the long range capability category,
it has lower maintenance costs than
its competitors. This trijet has a
range of 5,950 nautical miles with a
Mach.90 operating speed.

The Falcon 7X also features a
completely new wing design and
was the first in Dassault’s line-up
to feature winglets, making it 35%
more efficient than the Falcon 900.
This jet also features the Honeywell
Primus EASy system with four
LCD screens that eliminate the
need for circuit breakers and has intuitive
design that improves situational awareness and
efficiency. The EASy system utilizes a Cursor
Control Device (CCD) to control functions.
The CCD which operates like a PC mouse
allows pilot to control functions without
diverting attention away from the LCD panels
thereby improving flight safety.

At the present time AMSTAT is reporting
that there are 13 Falcon 7X’s for sale. While
the percentage of the active fleet for sale has
remained fairly steady at close to 5% yearto-date the average days on the market has
steadily fallen from 306 days in January (a
12 month high)to 229 days by June. 2013
was a pretty good year for resale transactions
of the 7X with 8% of the fleet turning over.
So far, in 2014, there have been only 4
resale transactions (2% of the active fleet) to
operators. Hopefully resale transaction activity
will pick up in the remaining months of the
year.
The Falcon 7X is truly a model of
innovation throughout. It provides a
smooth and steady flight in a versatile cabin
environment that has improved soundproofing
and temperature controls. The different lounge
areas allow for a productive work environment
or a much-needed rest spot. New wing design
contributes to the improved landing and speed
100 50 0 May-­‐08 capabilities. This trijet has proven itself to be a
first class competitor in the long range class.
