N782SM

This article concerns airframe N782SM, an Embraer ERJ-170-100SU built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 17000022. The airframe is owned and operated by the United States-based corporation Envoy Air (American Eagle) and is registered in the US. Throughout its life this specific jet has remained within the regional airline sector under corporate ownership; no public record of change of operator beyond the current owner is supplied in the provided data. Valuation and current condition assessments for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied dataset.

The airframe is fitted in an approximate 70-seat single-class regional layout as operated by its current operator, reflecting a typical operator-specific cabin installation for the ERJ-170 family. Avionics on this E-jet are the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, a typical fit for the type that supports modern regional airline operations and common airline training flows. Typical mission profiles for N782SM under Envoy Air would include short- to medium-haul regional routes within the United States, focusing on high-frequency scheduled service between hub and spoke airports. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe align with standard E-jet practices for a 2004-build ERJ-170, with operator-specific checks and overhaul schedules managed under Envoy Air’s corporate maintenance program.

The Embraer ERJ-170-100SU is a member of the E-jet family that fills the 66–78 seat regional jet performance niche, offering turbofan efficiency and single-aisle comfort suited to short- and medium-range sectors. With a cruise speed of 460 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, it competes with similar regional jets from other manufacturers for feeder and thin trunk routes. Buyer and charter demand for this generation of E-jet typically focuses on replacement, regional carrier fleet continuity, or conversion for corporate/regional roles; maintenance and resale considerations reflect airframe age (built 2004), engine CF34 lifecycle status, and operator maintenance pedigree.
