Nouvelle version du 2000
Nouvelle version du 2000
The 4,000 nm Falcon 2000LXS, announced in October 2012, combines
the short field performance of the 2000S with the longer range
capabilities of the 2000LX. Featuring the same inboard slats and
winglets as the 2000S model, the aircraft has a balanced field length of
4,675 ft (SL, ISA) at 42,800 lb of MTOW, and offers the same landing
performance as the Falcon 2000S.
The airplane will come standard with the EASy II avionics suite and
FalconCabin HD+ entertainment system and customers can specify the
interior of their choice. The Falcon 2000LXS will replace the 2000LX by
the end of 2013.
The two-year-long flight test campaign for the two new models
demonstrated short-field and low-speed performance substantially better
than targeted figures, greatly expanding the number of airports the two
aircraft can serve. Each will be certified to land at London City.
Upgraded Pratt & Whitney PW308C engines make both models
economical to operate and environmentally friendly. The engine’s TALON
II combustor will provide significantly fewer emissions.
“The new Falcons display the same outstanding comfort, performance
and efficiency that have made the Falcon 2000 one the most successful
large cabin twinjet models in the industry,” said John Rosanvallon,
President and CEO of Dassault Falcon Jet, noting nearly 500 units have
been delivered since the first Falcon 2000 took to the air on March 4,
1993.
EASy II for 2000 EASy Series Approved
EASA simultaneously approved use of Dassault’s proprietary,
award-winning EASy II avionics suite on Falcon 2000 EASy series
aircraft. All in-service versions of the Falcon 2000 equipped with EASy
cockpits (EX, DX and LX) will eventually receive the EASy II upgrade
once corresponding service bulletins are approved.
Among the new options and enhancements offered by EASy II are a
Synthetic Vision System (SVS); improved display symbology; XM Weather;
Flight Management System (7.1) improvements; dual Jeppesen charts; a
Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS); ADS-B out; and WAAS and
EGNOS LPV approaches.
