N713SK

This entry covers airframe N713SK, a Bombardier-built regional jet completed in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 10174. The aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) operated by SkyWest Airlines (operated for American Eagle/American Airlines) and based out of St. George, UT, US under US registration. The airframe has served in the regional network under the American Eagle banner and retains operator-specific configuration and registry traces consistent with line maintenance and transfer practices of contract regional operators. Condition and valuation notes are operator-held; the airframe is maintained to regional carrier standards for a 69-seat layout.

The aircraft is outfitted in an operator 69-seat regional passenger layout configured as a single-aisle regional cabin optimized for short- to medium-haul sectors. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line suite with operator-specific modifications typical of CRJ-700 fleet installations, supporting regional operational requirements and fleet commonality. Typical missions for N713SK include high-frequency point-to-point regional routes within the American Eagle network, where its 1,303 nm range and 447 kt cruise speed match the short stage lengths and quick turnarounds demanded by regional airline schedules. Maintenance scheduling follows regional carrier cycles and the CF34-8C5B1 engine support and overhaul programs standard to operators retaining CRJ-700 family aircraft.

The CRJ-701ER belongs to the Bombardier CRJ-700 family, positioned to serve the 60–80 seat regional jet market with higher cruise speed and altitude capability than smaller regional types. Competing aircraft in its niche include stretched regional jets and smaller mainline narrowbodies used on thin routes; demand typically comes from regional airlines and capacity partners of major carriers. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine life, avionics standardization such as Pro Line installations, and fleet commonality with operator networks like SkyWest, making lifecycle economics and fleet type ratings central to marketability.
