N658CA

This airframe, registered as N658CA, is a Bombardier-built regional jet constructed in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 10148. It is a Bombardier CRJ-701ER owned by SkyWest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe has been operated in a 55-seat regional configuration and remains associated with its corporate owner; no additional ownership transfers or major registry actions are published in the provided data. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published in the supplied dataset.

This specific CRJ-701ER is configured in a 55-seat regional passenger layout intended for short- to medium-haul scheduled operations typical of regional carriers. The avionics fit for this airframe is the Rockwell Collins ProLine 4 suite, supporting standard commercial navigation, communication, and flight management tasks for regional operations. With a maximum cruise of 447 kts and a range of 1,732 nm, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point regional routes and high-frequency shuttle services from the operator’s base; maintenance and operational considerations align with typical regional-jet cycles under a corporate operator like SkyWest Airlines Inc.

The Bombardier CRJ-701ER belongs to the CRJ family positioned for regional jet markets where 50–70 seat capacity and higher speed than turboprops are required. It competes with similarly sized regional jets in airline fleets and is often evaluated against newer regional jets and high-capacity turboprops for efficiency and lifecycle cost. Common market considerations for this airframe type include engine maintenance for the CF34-8C5 powerplants, avionics modernization such as ProLine 4 upgrades versus retrofit options, and resale demand tied to seat-count utility and regional network needs.
