Overview
The Falcon 50 is the finest and most versatile “super mid-size” business aircraft ever built. Like the Falcon 900 with its unique 3 engine design, it can operate out of landing strips as short as 4,000 feet, has 3,000 nautical mile range, and can depart “hot and high” airports. The third engine provides an added safety margin when operating anywhere in the world.
The stand-up (5’10”) cabin seats 9 people. The entertainment system features 2 large screen video monitors, DVD/CD player, Sirius Satellite Radio, and Airshow 400 with moving map and nose camera. The interior was completely redecorated in 2007, with all new leather goods, beautiful mahogany cabinetry, and super soundproofing.
Galley
The forward galley is equipped with fine crystal and china, silverware and accessories. A microwave, coffeemaker, and sink provide the necessities for the preparation of an excellent meal.
Forward Cabin
The forward cabin contains 4 club seats which swivel, recline and berth. There are 2 writing tables that stow while not in use. A 14” video screen serves this seat grouping.
Mid Cabin
The aft cabin has a wrap-around “J” couch that seats 4 plus one aft-facing single seat. This 5 place grouping is very inviting and conducive to a business meeting, dining, or just socializing. There is a large fold out table that serves all 5 seats in this area, as well as a 15” video monitor.

It can easily accommodate 8 sets of golf clubs plus luggage for 9 passengers plus crew. For comparison, the Falcon 50 has 115 cubic feet of luggage space compared to 60 for a Hawker 800XP.
