Falcon 20-5 For Sale

Description

The Falcon 20-5 is a better version of the Falcon 20 business jet. Dassault improved the Falcon 20's engines twice. The second upgrade in 1989 made the aircraft better overall, creating the Falcon 20-5. It has two Allied Signal (Garrett) TFE-731-5BR engines that produce 4,750 lbs of thrust. The Falcon 20-5 can take off with more weight (30,325 lbs). It also performs better on runways and climbs faster, with a certified flight ceiling of 42,000 feet. It is also RVSM certified. The Falcon 20-5 climbs to 39,000 feet in 27 minutes, which is faster than the previous engine. At sea level, it needs 5,085 feet to take off. It also has a longer range and can fly up to 10% faster. It can cruise at 480 knots (high speed) or 411 knots (long range). The Falcon 20-5's original panel is usually upgraded when the engines are replaced. A typical avionics suite includes the Collins Pro Line 4, dual VHF 20, four-tube EFIS, APS 30 autopilot, Dual VIR 30, dual ADF 60, and dual DME 40. It also includes Universal UNS-1M or Global GNS-X FMS and a Sperry Primus 400 color weather radar. The cabin is 5.7 feet high, 6.1 feet wide, and 24 feet long. It can fit eight to ten passengers in a double-club arrangement or a club-divan-individual combo. It has a forward galley and a full-width aft lavatory. The Falcon 20-5 fixes the original 20's problems with power and performance, making it a good option in its class.
