MOST ADVANCED FLIGHT DECK

ON APRIL 1, 1963,

the Mystère 20 rolled out of the assembly line in Bordeaux-Merignac, France, signalling the beginning of a new journey for Dassault Aviation. That was the first of its business aircraft and was based on technologies designed for the Mystère IV fighter. It resembled an airliner more than an executive aircraft, but nevertheless the Mystere-Falcon 20 was the first true purpose-built business jet. Twenty different models have followed in the years since and there is no looking back. Today, over 2,250 Falcons have been delivered to 82 countries around the world and the Falcon fleet has surpassed 16.2 million hours of flight time, testimony of the reputation for quality and performance that the Falcon family has acquired within the aviation community. Dassault Falcon has at present six models of business jets, starting with 2000S; 2000LXS; 900LX; 5X; 7X and 8X. The EASy II flight deck dramatically improves crew coordination and situational awareness, presenting everything from flight planning and automated checklists to the aircraft’s precise position, situation and environment through an innovative graphical interface that allows pilots to work ‘eyes up’. Its head-up display incorporates an Enhanced Flight Vision System using infrared sensing to improve visibility.

The 900LX cabin measures six feet and two inches in height and is seven feet eight inches wide – dimensions that translate into easy stand-up, walk-about comfort. At 33 feet two inches, the cabin’s length gives distinct lounge areas for work, rest and relaxation. While the 900LX typically seats 12 to 14 passengers, it can be configured to make up to six comfortable berths.
