Dassault Falcon History Check: Pre-Purchase Registration & NTSB Lookup

Make, model, year and registration status free. Full history report $79.

1,452 Dassault Falcon business jets are currently on the FAA registry — the long-range French-built family spanning the tri-jet Falcon 900 series (900EX/900B/900LX, 400+ combined), the widely-flown Falcon 2000 series (2000/2000EX/2000LX, 480+ combined), the ultra-long-range Falcon 7X (163), and older models still in service including the Falcon 50 (136) and Falcon 10 (59).

Why a Falcon's ownership trail is worth checking carefully

A Falcon sale typically runs into seven or eight figures and comes with a formal pre-buy inspection, a title search, and broker fees measured in tens of thousands of dollars — against that scale, a $79 history check is a five-minute sanity check, not a cost decision. Many Falcons have passed through corporate flight departments, charter operators, and fractional programs over a multi-decade service life, and the FAA can reissue a cancelled N-number to a different airframe after five years (14 CFR 47.15/47.17). That means a search of only the current tail number can miss an accident recorded under a prior registration — or wrongly attach another jet's accident to the one you're buying. A serial-number cross-match is the only way to know which history actually belongs to the airframe in front of you.

What a $79 report adds

Current FAA registration status, prior registrants, recent FAA filings (bills of sale, security agreements/liens — the same paper trail a title company will also pull), full NTSB accident and incident history, and the serial-number cross-match that catches an accident hiding under a prior tail number.
