November 15 saw Dassault's 100th flight of the Falcon 7X. The milestone flight was taken by serial number 02, leaving the Dassault Flight Test Center in Istres, France.

Pilots Dominique Chenevier and Jean-Louis Dumas concentrated on testing the aircraft's handling at low speeds, flying it as slowly as 85 knots. The pilots reported that even under these rigorous conditions the 7X exhibited "excellent control characteristics" in response to its inputs.

Both were impressed by the ease with which the aircraft responded during the one hour 35 minute flight, as the results indicate that the aircraft will allow high performance on short airfields.

The aircraft was returned to the Istres test centre on November 17 after all three 7Xs were flown to the NBAA Convention in Orlando, Florida, where the reaction to it was said to have been "most gratifying". "The new technology of the airplane drew a constant crowd of admirers," said president of Dassault Falcon Jet, John Rosanvallon.

On its second transatlantic flight to date, senior test pilot Yves "Bill" Kerherve praised the aircraft, commenting that the nine and a half hour flight allowed the crew to appreciate the comfort of the cabin, attributing this to the new pressurisation and advanced temperature control systems.

Since its first flight in May, the 7X has accumulated over 330 flight hours. Dassault says that the original projection of 5700 nm for the range of the airplane could be increased to 6000nm depending on design enhancements currently being tested.
