N842HK

The airframe bearing tail number N842HK is an Embraer ERJ-145LR, serial 14500830, built in 2004 by Embraer. The airframe is recorded as owned by Aerovision Aircraft Services LLC, a corporate owner based in Muskegon, MI, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The aircraft has a conventional regional configuration and has not been publicly noted for unusual modifications; its corporate ownership suggests use in leasing, asset management or on-demand regional operations. Recorded to a single corporate owner in Muskegon, MI, the airframe’s registry and condition entries indicate typical mid-life status for a 2004 ERJ-145LR.

The aircraft is outfitted in a 50-seat single-class regional layout (Y50), providing a standard high-density regional cabin suitable for short- to medium-haul routes. Avionics fit is described as Primus 1000-era equipment typical for the ERJ-145 family; standard traffic and terrain awareness systems such as TCAS and GPWS are fitted, with FMS/GPS capability listed as optional in the type fit. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional airline operations, corporate or charter services, and wet-lease tasks within its 1,550 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts. Maintenance considerations reflect the common ERJ-145 fleet support structure, with line and base maintenance tasks driven by the twin Rolls-Royce AE 3007A powerplants and 50-seat utilization cycles.

The Embraer ERJ-145LR occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche, offering economics and range beyond turboprops for short- to medium-haul sectors up to its 1,550 nm capability. Competing types historically include 50-seat derivatives from Bombardier and smaller regional jets from other manufacturers, although market demand has shifted toward larger regional and narrowbody types. Buyers and operators of a 2004 airframe like N842HK weigh airframe hours, engine cycles, and avionics vintage (Primus 1000-era) when assessing maintenance and resale value, with corporate ownership structures often using such airframes for leasing or ad hoc charter roles.
