N824AY

This airframe, registered as N824AY, is a 2005-build Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) with manufacturer serial number 8024. The airframe is owned by BeauTech Power Systems LLC, a corporate owner based in Dallas, TX, US, and is listed on the US civil registry. No additional public registry actions or changes of operator are published for this airframe beyond corporate ownership. The aircraft carries a typical high-density regional equipment fit and is noted for its standard regional-jet configuration and service history consistent with a 2005 CRJ-200LR airframe.

The cabin of N824AY is configured in a high-density regional layout, a single-class arrangement accommodating approximately 50–55 seats, with the published seat count at 55 for this airframe. Avionics are provided by the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting regional commercial and charter operational profiles. Typical missions for this CRJ-200LR include short-haul regional services and corporate or specialized charter work within the aircraft’s 1,700 nm range and performance envelope, operating from its owner’s base region in the Dallas, Texas area. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-powered CRJ-200 fleet norms, including engine life-limited parts and airframe tracking commensurate with a mid-2000s build.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) occupies the regional jet niche for short- to medium-range scheduled and charter services, offering cruise speeds near 424 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. It competes historically with other regional jets such as early Embraer ERJ and E-Jet variants for higher-density short-haul routes. Buyer and charter demand for 50-seat regional jets has shifted over time toward newer, more fuel-efficient types, so maintenance history, engine cycles on the GE CF34-3B1 powerplants, and cabin configuration influence resale and operational economics for this airframe.
