N461AW

This entry covers airframe N461AW, a Bombardier-built regional jet completed in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 7870. The aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) powered example, registered in the US and owned by SLATE AIRCRAFT COMPANY LLC, a corporate owner based in Johnstown, PA, US. The airframe is documented with a high-density 50-seat configuration and carries a reported market value of $2,500,000, reflecting its role as an older-generation regional jet in current circulation. Ownership is held by a single corporate entity in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and registry actions reflect standard US registration for a commercial-category, fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft.

The airframe is outfitted in a single-aisle, high-density regional layout with a nominal 50-seat cabin optimized for short- to medium-haul regional operations. Avionics are listed as a Collins Pro Line fit, a common retrofit on later CRJ-200s, supporting conventional IFR regional operations and common airline operating procedures. With a range of 1,700 nm and a cruise speed near 424 kts, the aircraft profile suits point-to-point regional routes, quick turnarounds, and higher-frequency sectors typical of commuter and corporate charter networks. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect its age (built 2003) and airframe family characteristics, including engine support for the GE CF34-3B1 series and systems associated with the Pro Line avionics suite.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) family occupies a niche as a 50-seat regional jet offering relatively high cruise speed and typical regional range, competing historically with similarly classed commuter jets. Demand among buyers and charter operators for this airframe type tends to favor operators seeking a cost-effective, high-density regional transport solution, though resale values and marketability are influenced by age and configuration; this airframe’s listed value is $2,500,000. Maintenance and resale considerations include lifecycle support for the GE CF34-3B1 engines and avionics retrofit histories such as the Collins Pro Line fit, which affect operational commonality and transferability within secondary markets.
