N286SJ

The airframe bearing tail number N286SJ is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2012, manufacturer serial 14501153, configured in a high-density shuttle layout. The aircraft is owned by CUMMINS INC, a corporation based in Columbus, IN, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to CUMMINS INC upon introduction into corporate shuttle service, the airframe is presented as a single-class 55-seat instalment intended for short-to-medium range employee transport with standard ERJ-145XR condition considerations for its build year.

The cabin of N286SJ is laid out in a 55-seat high-density shuttle layout (single-class), optimized for corporate shuttle operations and short-haul point-to-point employee transport. Avionics are fitted with the typical ERJ-145 series suite, listed as Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting standard IFR operations and airline-style flightdeck functionality. With a 2,000 nm range and a cruise speed of 461 kts, missions typically consist of regional shuttle sectors, up to transcontinental ferry legs when required, operated from the owner's base in Columbus, IN, US. Maintenance considerations follow the ERJ-145XR common inspection schedules and type-specific engine work for the Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E powerplants.

The Embraer ERJ-145XR occupies the regional jet niche for high-density short- to medium-haul operations, providing a 55-seat single-class capacity combined with extended-range capability relative to base ERJ-145 variants. Competing models in the same mission set include other 50–70 seat regional jets and turbofan shuttle conversions; buyers prioritize reliability of the AE 3007A1E engines and the proven Honeywell avionics fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on cumulative utilization since the 2012 build year, component shop visits for the powerplants, and adherence to the ERJ-145XR fleet-specific maintenance program.
