N218PS

This article describes airframe N218PS, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 7885. The airframe is a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) produced by Bombardier Aerospace and is recorded in the United States registry. It is owned by SkyWest Airlines, a United States-based corporation; the aircraft has operated in SkyWest’s regional network under that corporate ownership with the US registration. Notable registry actions are limited to its current US registration and operator ownership record with SkyWest Airlines.

The cabin of N218PS is configured as Y50 (50-seat single-class regional), reflecting a standard single-class regional layout optimized for short-haul scheduled services. The installed avionics fit is the Collins Pro Line suite typical of CRJ-200 installations, supporting the flightcrew with the type’s standard navigation and communications capability. With a mission range of 1,700 nm and a cruise speed of 424 kts, this airframe is suited to regional point-to-point sectors operated by its owner SkyWest Airlines, typically in scheduled feeder and regional connectivity roles. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific aircraft centers on its twin General Electric CF34-3B1 engines and the common regional-airline support structure used by its operator.

As a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) airframe, N218PS occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche within Bombardier’s CRJ family and was produced by Bombardier Aerospace. The combination of a 50-seat cabin, Collins Pro Line avionics, and the twin CF34-3B1 engine installation defines its operational role in short- to medium-range regional services. Given its build year of 2004 and serial 7885, considerations for continued operation, maintenance scheduling, and potential resale would be assessed in the context of its established ownership by SkyWest Airlines and typical lifecycle planning for CRJ-200ER airframes.
