Fly :
Well its a very strange aircraft. You can cruise a 47000ft (direct climb)
at a max cruise speed of Mach 0.87 and then the approach speed is very slow,
109 kts IAS (yes 109 kts!).
For take off, flaps 5, rotation at about 120 kts depending on the weight
of fuel.
Then you can climb directly to FL450 for high cruise.
For the approach, start with flaps 5 then on the glide, gear down and
flap 20, 30 and 40. The approach speed on short final must be about 109 kts
IAS. When overflying the beginning of the runway, cut the throttle, and make
a kiss landing, using the spoiler if you want.
You can use reverse but only the engine 2 can make reverse
(use the key E 2 for selecting the engine).
It's a very safe aircraft, hope you will like flying it.
For the visual, some problem on the middle engine at specific view.
Also, front and back view are not very perfect.
The decorations if the Republique Francaise. This aircraft is used by
the ETEC, squadron use for the transport of french VIP. They have two
Falcon 900B used for the transport of the President or Prime Minister.
I hope to make a civilian decoration soon.
Any comments are welcome.
Greetings go to Jean Michel Bertrand for his help finding the documentions.
Greetings DON'T go to Dassault for not answering my request about plans on
Falcon 900 and 2000.

* RE-DESIGN OF F900 *
* ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIRFORCE - 34SQN *
* *
* By Al Rees *
* *
* REPAINT VERSION 2 *
* By Peter Batko & Ray Seppala *
* *
*****************************************
This aircraft is utilised by 34SQN Royal Australian Air Force, is painted white upper fuselage, lilght grey lower fuselage
with blue stripes and 'skippy' roundels displayed, plus the squadron crest and Aussie flag located next to the entry door.
Based at RAAF Fairbairn, Australian Capital Territory,
these aircraft carry out many transport missions for VIPs and Members of Parliment,
with an air of grace and agility which is shown in it's lines.
CHANGES
Not many, Remi produced a beautiful flight and texture model, which once converted to FS98 only needed some tweeking (well done Remi). The Aircraft is an accurate representation of one based at Fairbairn, and I will leave it up to you all to decide if it is good or not.
** REPAINT VERSION 2 ** (Ray and Pete)
Al's paint job was not too accurate (sorry Al!). Since both Pete and I (Ray) work on the aircraft at 34 Squadron we thought that an accurate (or as close as we could get it) paint scheme should be available. Otherwise Al's (and Remi's) model is great.
FUTURE (Al again)
I currently have accurate cockpit photo's and will endevour to create a panel that can be used
with this aircraft, but as I am new to the panel creation side, this may take a while (anyone willing to help on this??).
