N783LC

This airframe, registered as N783LC, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 17000018. The airframe is an Embraer ERJ-170-100SU (E170SU) originally manufactured by Embraer S.A. and is owned by Envoy Air Inc. (operated for American Eagle), a corporation based in Irving, TX, USA. Its US registration denotes the aircraft’s national registry and commercial use profile, and it has been deployed in Envoy’s regional network operated for American Eagle throughout its service life. The aircraft’s configuration and operational history reflect typical regional airline utilization rather than dedicated corporate or VIP modifications.

The cabin of this specific E170SU is fitted in a typical 66-seat single-aisle regional layout (6-abreast seating) optimized for short- to medium-haul sector economics and high-frequency turnarounds. Operated by Envoy Air Inc. (operated for American Eagle) from its Irving, Texas base, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on regional feeder services linking major hubs to smaller domestic markets within its approximately 2,150 nm range and cruise speed near 447 kts. Standard operator maintenance practices for CF34-powered Embraer 170s apply, focusing on rotational engine inspections, landing‑gear cycles, and airframe checks consistent with high-utilization regional schedules. There are no noted unique cabin amenities beyond the operator’s standard single‑class regional configuration.

The Embraer ERJ-170-100SU (E170SU) occupies the regional jet niche between turboprops and larger narrowbodies, offering a balance of capacity (66 seats), range, and operating economics suited to short-to-mid sectors. Competing types in its class typically include other regional jets and smaller mainline narrowbodies, with demand driven by regional carriers and franchise operations. For this airframe, resale and maintenance considerations mirror the CF34-powered ERJ-170 fleet: focus on remaining structural and engine life, parts availability for the CF34-8E, and market appetite for 66-seat regional jets configured for high-frequency network service.
