N148TW Aircraft Overview
N148TW is a DASSAULT/SUD Dassault Falcon 10 registered in the United States with serial number on file. Light jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms. The aircraft is registered under a corporation entity. The aircraft received its FAA airworthiness certificate on May 9, 1968, maintaining continuous certification for 57 years.
Dassault Falcon 10 Market Position
The Falcon 10 was Dassault's smallest business jet, produced from 1973 to 1989. Its fighter-derived handling and TFE731 engines made it one of the most responsive light jets ever built. While aging, the type retains a loyal following among pilots who value its flying qualities above all else.
Performance Profile
The Dassault Falcon 10 cruises at 475 knots with a published range of 1800 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-2. An operating ceiling of 45000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Dassault Falcon 10 typically seats 7 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter Authorization
N148TW operates under a Part 135 certificate held by Ameristar Jet Charter, Inc., authorizing on-demand charter operations. Contact us for availability and routing.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
