The Dassault Falcon 10 is the light jet that flies faster than its category peers and turns up in the Naples market when a client wants French airframe manners on short Northeast-to-Naples legs. Built between 1973 and 1989, the Falcon 10 is older equipment but keeps a loyal charter following on the Gulf Coast.
Dassault produced the Falcon 10 (later Falcon 100) from 1973 through 1989 as a smaller derivative of the Falcon 20. Two Garrett TFE731 turbofans drive the type to 454 knots at up to 45,000 feet, five to seven passengers, 1,520 nautical miles of range, and 12 cubic feet of baggage. Enclosed lavatory.

Why the Falcon 10 Fits Naples
Range at 1,520 nautical miles covers TEB, HPN, MMU, and BED nonstop into APF with a light cabin. Chicago (PWK, MDW) is inside the type’s envelope on a good day. Toronto (YYZ) is a stretch that usually needs a tech stop.
Baggage at 12 cubic feet is the smallest of any modern light jet in the Naples market and is a real limiting factor. A family of five arriving in Port Royal with a season’s clothes will not fit. Treat the Falcon 10 as a two-passenger or three-passenger trip aircraft for short bags only.
APF is comfortable for the Falcon 10 on any typical day; the type’s high cruise (454 knots) makes block times shorter than a Citation Bravo or CJ2.
