N292SY

This entry documents airframe N292SY, an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 17000764. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in Saint George, UT, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe is a factory-built example of the Embraer 175 (ERJ-170-200LL / 175LL) platform and, since delivery, has remained in commercial regional airline service under SkyWest control; no other ownership transfers are on record for this specific serial. Condition and valuation notes are operator-dependent and not published for this specific airframe.

The configuration for N292SY is operator-dependent, accommodating from 76 (dual-class) to 88 (single-class) passengers; SkyWest typically operates its E175 fleet in higher-density single-class regional configurations for short- to medium-haul feeder routes. The aircraft is fitted with a Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite, supporting contemporary airline operational requirements including integrated flight management and advanced situational awareness for crew operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional point-to-point sectors, higher-frequency shuttle routes, and hub feed operations within the continental United States, leveraging its 2,200 nm range and 480-knot cruise for efficient sector utilization. Maintenance and line support are provided in accordance with operator maintenance programs; no unique airframe-specific maintenance conditions are published.

The Embraer 175 (ERJ-170-200LL / 175LL) series occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, balancing fuel efficiency, range, and passenger capacity for regional airlines and mainline feeders. With twin CF34-8E5 engines producing 13,800 lbf each and a 41,000 ft service ceiling, the type competes directly with smaller variants of larger narrowbodies and high-capacity regional jets from competing manufacturers. Demand for this model typically centers on regional carriers requiring flexibility between dual-class and single-class layouts; resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on operator configuration, cyclic utilization, and OEM-supported component programs rather than airframe age alone.
