The COCKPIT
The Enhanced Avionics System [EASy]
The cockpit of the Dassault Falcon 6X is widely regarded as one of the most advanced and pilot-friendly flight decks in business aviation. It reflects Dassault’s long heritage as a military and civil aircraft manufacturer, where human-machine interface, operational discipline, and safety-first design are not marketing concepts, but engineering imperatives.
At the core of the Falcon 6X flight deck is the EASy IV flight deck, a mature and continuously refined avionics architecture that pilots consistently rank among the best in the industry.
The Enhanced Avionics System (EASy) IV, developed in partnership with Honeywell, is the culmination of decades of pilot feedback and operational data. Unlike systems that prioritize visual appeal alone, EASy IV is engineered to reduce pilot workload, improve situational awareness, and support decision-making under all phases of flight.
The Flight Deck Features:
- Four large, high-resolution displays with an intuitive information layering
- Logical system architecture that minimizes head-down time
- Consistent symbology and menu logic, reducing training burden and error potential
One of the defining characteristics pilots appreciate in the Falcon 6X is its exceptional flight path stability. The fly-by-wire system is tuned not to “mask” pilot input, but to enhance precision and predictability across the envelope.
Key Benefits Include:
- Smooth pitch and roll response in all flight regimes
- Natural handling qualities during high-altitude operations
- Confidence-inspiring control during steep approaches and gusty conditions
The result is an aircraft that feels composed and deliberate, enabling pilots to fly precise profiles with less corrective input—an essential factor in both safety and passenger comfort.
Advanced Flight Guidance and Safety Systems
The Falcon 6X cockpit integrates a suite of advanced systems designed to anticipate threats before they become hazards:
- Synthetic Vision System (SVS) with 3D terrain and obstacle depiction
- Combined Vision System (CVS) capability, integrating enhanced and synthetic vision
- Runway awareness and alerting
- Advanced weather radar with turbulence detection
These systems work in concert to provide a clear, continuous mental picture of the aircraft’s environment—especially critical during low-visibility operations, oceanic crossings, and complex terminal environments.
The ENGINE
Pratt & Whitney Engines
At the heart of the Dassault Falcon 6X is an engine specifically engineered—not adapted—to meet the demands of modern long-range business aviation: the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D. This next-generation turbofan is a defining factor in why the Falcon 6X is widely regarded by pilots as one of the most efficient, predictable, and operationally sound aircraft in its class.
The PW812D is part of Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PurePower engine family, bringing airline-grade technology to a business jet platform with a clear focus on performance, stability, fuel efficiency, and long-term operating economics.
Unlike engines that are derivatives of older designs, the PW812D was developed specifically for the Falcon 6X. Delivering approximately 13,500 pounds of thrust per engine, it provides a carefully balanced combination of power and restraint—exactly what pilots want in an aircraft optimized for range, altitude, and efficiency.
This Balance Allows The Falcon 6X To:
- Climb efficiently to high flight levels with minimal fuel penalty
- Maintain strong performance from hot-and-high airports
- Operate comfortably in the upper flight levels where weather and traffic are minimized
The result is an aircraft that performs consistently across a wide range of operating conditions without pushing engines to their limits.
The PW812D Delivers Measurable Advantages Through:
- High bypass ratio architecture that improves propulsive efficiency
- Advanced aerodynamic fan and compressor design
- Optimized thermodynamic efficiency for long-range cruise profiles
In practical terms, this means lower fuel burn per nautical mile, enabling longer legs with fewer stops and more flexible mission planning—key advantages for both charter and owner-operated fleets.
The linear thrust response of the PW812D is smooth, predictable, and precise—especially important during approach, descent, and energy-critical phases of flight.
This predictable thrust behavior contributes to:
- Stable speed control in terminal environments
- Reduced workload during steep or noise-sensitive approaches
- Enhanced passenger comfort through smoother power transitions
The engine’s refinement complements the Falcon 6X’s fly-by-wire system, resulting in a flight experience that feels composed rather than reactive.
