N403YX

This entry covers airframe N403YX, an Embraer ERJ-170-200LR (E175LR) built by Embraer S.A. and entered service in 2013. The airframe carries manufacturer serial number 17000365 and is registered in the United States; it is owned by Republic Airways Inc of Indianapolis, IN, US. Throughout its life this aircraft has been operated in the regional airline sector under corporate ownership and maintains US registry status with routine line and heavy maintenance cycles typical for a 2013-build regional jet. Condition and valuation notes are consistent with a well-utilized regional fleet member configured for 76 seats and powered by service-proven CF34 turbofans.

The aircraft operates a two-class 76-seat cabin typically arranged as 12 business / 64 economy, serving short- to medium-haul regional routes out of its owner/operator base in Indianapolis. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flightdeck suite, supporting regional operations, common-type training and dispatch within the Republic Airways fleet. With a 2,200 nm range and 480 kt cruise speed, the airframe is deployed on higher-frequency intra-national missions and thin transcontinental sectors where regional economics are required. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe focus on lifecycle management of the CF34-8E5 engines and adherence to scheduled checks for a 2013-model regional jet in continuous commercial service.

The Embraer ERJ-170/175 family occupies the 70–90 seat regional jet niche, balancing fuel efficiency, runway performance and passenger comfort for regional carriers. The E175LR variant competes with types such as the Bombardier CRJ900 and declining first-generation regional jets, offering a modern cockpit and favorable stage-length capability for trans-regional missions. Buyer and secondary-market demand centers on operators seeking fleet commonality and low-risk integration; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2013 airframe include CF34 engine life-cycle status, avionics serviceability of the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, and remaining structural fatigue life relative to utilization.
