N228LH

This entry covers airframe N228LH, a regional jet built as a Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) by Bombardier Inc. in 2001, manufacturer serial 10028. The airframe is recorded in US civil registration and is listed to AEROVISION AIRCRAFT SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Norton Shores, MI, US, which represents the most recent ownership data available. Operator history prior to the current owner is not detailed in the supplied dataset; the aircraft’s registry is identified as US and there are no additional publicly provided notable registry actions. Valuation and specific condition reports for this airframe are Not published.

The cabin of N228LH is fitted in an airline regional passenger layout capable of seating up to 80 passengers, with the operator configuration likely reflecting a standard 70–80 pax regional layout; exact interior finish and amenity fit are operator-specific and not further detailed. Avionics aboard are reported as Rockwell Collins ProLine, although the exact ProLine configuration and any operator-specific modifications are not specified and may vary. Mission profiles for this airframe align with typical regional operations — short- to medium-haul scheduled or charter services between regional hubs — leveraging its 1,732 nm range and cruise speed around 447 knots. Maintenance considerations follow the CRJ-700 family norms, with CF34-8C1 engine support and regional-jet component programs pertinent to entry into service and continuing airworthiness.

The CRJ-701ER is a stretched variant in the CRJ-700 family designed to serve the gap between smaller regional jets and mainline narrowbodies, providing up to 80 seats and a higher seating density for short to medium sectors. Competing models in its market niche include stretched Embraer ERJ/170-series and smaller narrowbody turbofan variants, with buyer and charter demand generally focused on cost-effective regional capacity. Resale and maintenance considerations for N228LH reflect typical CRJ-series dependencies: CF34 engine maintenance programs, airframe aging items for a 2001 build, and market appetite for used 70–80 seat regional jets dependent on regional network demand and retrofit potential.
