Orlando operators running transatlantic or long-overwater legs sometimes turn to the Falcon 50 for its trijet safety margin, eight seats, and range around 3,500 nautical miles that covers the Caribbean, South America, and select European destinations.
Dassault built the Falcon 50 as a trijet heavy-light aircraft with three Garrett TFE731-3 engines and eight seats. The trijet layout gives an asymmetric failure margin that the twin-engine equivalents lack. Range is around 3,500 nautical miles.

Why the Falcon 50 Fits Orlando
For Caribbean and Latin American routes out of KMCO, the Falcon 50’s range covers most destinations that Florida-based clients care about, from the Bahamas and the larger Caribbean islands through to Brazil’s major business cities. The trijet configuration is also relevant when flying over extended water routes where ETOPS limitations can complicate twin-engine options.
KORL handles the Falcon 50 on its 6,004-foot runway, and the aircraft is a practical choice for executive groups of six to eight passengers attending OCCC events or heading to international meetings without the cabin footprint of a large-cabin heavy.
The Falcon 50’s age means pricing often falls below newer super-midsize jets, which makes it a viable option for clients who want the range and safety profile without paying for a current-generation cabin. Maintenance standards and operator certification still apply regardless of aircraft age.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
