Nantucket Dassault Falcon 20 Charter

For a Nantucket group of six to eight going a long way, the midsize jet is usually the first aircraft that genuinely fits.

Dassault Aviation introduced the Falcon 20 in 1965. It is flown by a crew of 2. The type carries 8 to 10 passengers, cruises at 400 knots, tops out at 42,000 feet, covers 1,810 nautical miles and holds 60 cubic feet of baggage. Full specifications for the Falcon 20 are published by Dassault Falcon.

Why the Falcon 20 Fits Nantucket

Midsize departures from the island are out of Nantucket Memorial (KACK).

A published range of 1,810 nautical miles brings Miami, Naples, Florida, Dallas and Houston within reach of Nantucket, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.

Winds change the answer as well. A westbound leg into a headwind eats into range, so an aircraft that flies a route nonstop in one season may need a fuel stop in another.

Aircraft with more than nine passenger seats need two hours’ prior permission at Nantucket Memorial Airport, which covers most aircraft in this class. Your advisor makes that call, and it is one reason we ask for your timings early. Martha’s Vineyard requires prior permission twenty-four hours in advance.

The runway required on the day is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on your date, so we confirm it with them for your specific trip.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
