![]() In 2009, Dassault took the Falcon 2000EX EASy and added Aviation Partners, Inc. The 2000DX model has a range more in line with the original Falcon 2000 at 3,250 nautical miles, filling a niche for Falcon owners that want the the cockpit capabilities of the 2000EX EASy, but don’t need the extensive range that the EX models provide. In 2007, Dassault created the Falcon 2000DX, equipped with the same Honeywell EASy cockpit found on the 2000EX EASy, but with a significantly shorter range. This model is equipped with the Honeywell EASy avionics suite, as opposed to the ProLine IV found on the 20EX, improving the pilot’s situational awareness and reducing his or her workload. The EASy model was equipped with an enhanced avionics system and underwent changes to its pressurization and oxygen systems. The following year, Dassault created the Falcon 2000EX EASy. The PW308C engines are found on all of the variants outside of the original 2000, and each of them have cruise speeds close to 460 knots. Its fuel efficiency, however, remained steady, as its fuel usage increased by only four gallons per hour. Its maximum takeoff weight was also increased from 35,800 lbs to 42,200, and its fuel capacity was increased by 3,800 lbs. Its climb rate was increased by about 600 feet per minute to 4,375. The EX model’s range was increased by nearly 1,000 nautical miles to about 4,045. In 2003, Dassault replaced the CFE engines found on the original 2000 with Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW308C engines to create the Falcon 2000EX. It comes equipped with General Electric/AlliedSignal CFE738-1-1B engines, giving it a range of just over 3,100 nautical miles, a cruise speed of about 459 knots, and a climb rate of about 3,730 feet per minute. The original Falcon 2000, certified in 1994, was built as a smaller, twin-engine alternative of the three-engine Falcon 900. The goal was to build an economical large jet that would remain consistent with Dassault’s reputation for excellent performance.
