Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History
- 1984First flight
- 1986FAA certification
- 1986 - French answer to the Gulfstream III in the large-jet market
Launched in 1984 and certified in March 1986, the Falcon 900 was Dassault's answer to American dominance in large business jets (Gulfstream III/IV) and the Challenger 600. First Dassault with a truly wide widebody cabin (2.34 m), a benchmark that lasted across the whole Falcon family (2000, 7X, 8X). 3 TFE731 engines increasingly accepted for reducing total consumption vs. heavier 2-engine jets of that era.
- 1996 - Replaced by the Falcon 900EX in 1996
After 165 units produced (Falcon 900 and 900B combined), Dassault launched the Falcon 900EX in 1996, with TFE731-60 engines, extended range to 4,500 nm and Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics. The base 900 line was discontinued in 1999. The 900 family (including the 900EX, 900LX and 900DX) has surpassed 530 total units, one of Dassault's most successful.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
2.34 m widebody cabin inherited across the whole family
A cabin of 1.88 m height by 2.34 m width introduced by the 900 became the Dassault standard for good, kept in the Falcon 2000 (1995), 7X (2007) and 8X (2016). 3-zone layout over 10 m of cabin length allows forward club + mid four-place + aft divan. 9.3 psi pressurization kept cabin altitude at ~6,500 ft at FL410 (benchmark of the time, now surpassed by the 8X with 3,900 ft).
Range 4,000 nm with 3 TFE731-5BR (900B version)
The Falcon 900B version (1991-1999) brought TFE731-5BR engines of 4,750 lbf each, extending range to 4,000 nm, capable of Geneva-NYC, Paris-Dubai and São Paulo-Miami nonstop. Total thrust of 14,250 lbf allowed takeoff from short runways (5,215 ft balanced field), a classic trijet advantage over the Gulfstream G-IV (5,700 ft).

Limitations
Original analog avionics require expensive modernization
The first Falcon 900s left the factory with the original analog SPZ-8000/EFIS, requiring an ADS-B Out, FANS-1/A and RVSM retrofit and ideally a Honeywell Primus Elite glass cockpit upgrade (~USD 800K-1.2M) to operate in modern airspace (Europe, NAT HLA). The used fleet needs rigorous due diligence on regulatory compliance before acquisition.
Curiosities
Same basic fuselage as the Falcon 7X/8X
The Falcon 900 airframe, developed in the mid-1980s, served as the direct basis for the Falcon 7X (2007) and 8X (2016) with a stretched fuselage and fly-by-wire. The 2.34 m widebody cabin, rear-engine trijet configuration and internal structure were preserved. Demonstrates the longevity of the Dassault design and justifies the development cost amortized over 40 years.
Used market entry point for large jets
A base used Falcon 900 in 2024-2026 trades between USD 2.5M-6.5M depending on hours, engine status and complete avionics retrofit. It represents the cheapest entry point into the large widebody segment, comparable to a new midsize in price, but with the range, cabin and prestige of a heavy jet. Ideal for operators who prioritize comfort over operating economy.
