LOOP News 9 NOV 07: DASSAULT DOUBLEFRENCH aircraft manufacturer Dassault has received approval from both the FAA and EASA for its new Falcon 2000DX. The EASA approval was awarded 19 September and FAA approval on 3 October. Introduced during the NBAA Convention in 2005, the 3250nm Falcon 2000DX will replace Dassault's original Falcon 2000 introduced in 1989. The first Falcon 2000DX is already at Dassault's Little Rock Completion Centre and will enter service in early 2008. "The Falcon 2000DX fills an important niche in the Falcon product line," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. "It's ideal for customers focused on efficiency and low cost of operation but needing the size and performance of a large cabin business jet." The standard equipped aircraft is claimed to have exceptional airport performance. It has an approach speed of 112kt and can land with the fuel tanks nearly full which allows it to make short hops from city to city to pick up passengers then continue on long missions without refuelling. For instance, the 2000DX can leave London for Paris, pick up passengers and then continue to Dubai without adding fuel. Dassault says it has the ability to climb directly to 41,000 feet in 17 minutes, putting it quickly above the weather. The 2000DX will come standard with Dassault's EASy flight deck A newly certificated Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) will be available as an option. More than 2000 Falcon jets have been sold since the rollout of the first Falcon 20 in 1963. The family of Falcon jets currently in production includes three tri-jets - the Falcon 900DX, 900EX and the new 7X - as well as the twin-engine Falcon 2000DX and Falcon 2000LX.
