N17984

This airframe, registered as N17984, is an Embraer ERJ-145LR built in 2000 with manufacturer's serial number 145246 by Embraer - Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. The aircraft has been historically operated by ExpressJet Airlines / United Express (operator historically), reflecting a regional operator lineage under United Express branding. The airframe carries a US civil registration and conforms to the fixed-wing multi-engine regional category; maintenance and operational records would typically follow United Express/ExpressJet type-operator practices. No distinct notable registry actions or separate valuation data are published in the supplied dataset.

The airframe is configured in a single-aisle 1×2 seating layout consistent with Embraer regional practice and supports the typical 46–50 passenger regional cabin arrangement; this specific example lists 50 seats in its outfitting. Avionics are presented as a typical Honeywell/Primus-class regional suite, with Primus 1000 or equivalent equipment and standard TCAS/GPWS fits common to the ERJ-145 family, supporting regional air transport operations and modern collision/terrain awareness. With a range of 1,550 nm and cruise speed near 447 kts, the aircraft is well suited to short- to medium-haul regional routes, frequent daily sectors, and high-cycle utilization patterns typical of feeder airlines. Maintenance considerations align with ERJ-145LR operator schedules and Rolls-Royce AE 3007-A1 engine shop visit planning; cabin refurbishment and lightweight interior modifications are common in lifecycle management for aircraft of this vintage.

The Embraer ERJ-145LR occupies the regional jet niche for 50-seat operations, offering trans-regional performance with a service ceiling of 37,000 ft and long-range capability relative to shorter regional jets. Its primary competitors historically include the Bombardier CRJ100/200 family and newer regional turbofan conversions; buyers and charter operators seek ERJ-145s for high-frequency regional feeds and slot-constrained markets. Resale and maintenance considerations center on airframe cycles, engine time on wing for the AE 3007-A1 engines, and avionics standardization; aircraft built in 2000 typically require ongoing investment in interior refurbishment and avionics upgrades to meet contemporary passenger and regulatory expectations.
