The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified Premier Aircraft’s 50Dash4 upgrade of the Falcon 50. Premier Aircraft received FAA certification of the
50Dash4 performance upgrade in 2007, and the EASA certification means that owners of Falcon 50s registered outside the U.S. can now have the modification done.

The 50Dash4 performance upgrade includes Honeywell’s conversion of the Falcon 50’s three TFE731-3 engines to the TFE731-4-1C configuration as well as “a newly designed engine nozzle, minor nacelle modifications and re-marked cockpit instruments.” The “Dash 4” engines are more robust and fuel efficient and help the Falcon 50 meet FAA Stage 4 and EASA/ICAO Chapter 4 noise regulations, according to Premier Aircraft, which is based in East Alton, Ill., and jointly owned by Yankee Pacific Aerospace and West Star Aviation.
