N402AT

This entry covers airframe N402AT, an Embraer ERJ-135LR built in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 145702. The airframe is registered in the United States and recorded as owned by the corporation AERO TECHNOLOGIES INC of Van Nuys, California. The type is a fixed‑wing multi‑engine regional jet produced by Embraer S.A., and the airframe’s public record highlights its corporate ownership and U.S. registration rather than multiple operators or leases. Registered ownership by a single U.S. corporate entity suggests stable custody and centralized maintenance management under the owner/operator’s oversight.

The Embraer ERJ-135LR airframe N402AT is a 37-seat configuration suited to short- to medium-range regional routes, with a typical mission profile between city pairs where runway performance and frequency are prioritized. Cabin layout for the ERJ-135LR class is commonly a single-aisle two-by-two seating arrangement, accommodating up to 37 passengers in a high-density regional layout; specific interior fit for this serial is recorded under the owner’s configuration. Avionics fits on production ERJ-135LRs are oriented toward commercial regional operations and corporate shuttle use, and this airframe’s corporate ownership implies maintenance and operational control are managed from its Van Nuys base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include Rolls‑Royce AE 3007 series engine support and line/ heavy checks consistent with regional jet operations.

The Embraer ERJ-135LR occupies the lower end of the regional jet category, providing economical single‑aisle, short-haul capability with a 1,750 nm range and cruise speeds around 430 kts. Competing models in its niche have historically included shorter-fuselage variants of regional jets and high-capacity turboprops; demand typically comes from regional carriers, charter operators, and corporate shuttle users seeking a balance of speed and capacity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on airframe age (built 2003), engine program status for the AE 3007A1/3 units, and the market for well-maintained 37-seat regional jets configured for commercial or corporate roles.
