N8646A

This airframe, registered as N8646A, is a 2002-built regional jet of the Bombardier CRJ-200ER line, serial number 7646, manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace. It is owned by Pinnacle Airlines, a United States corporation, and its registration is held in the US registry. The airframe’s documented characteristics reflect a typical early-2000s CRJ-200ER build standard, with no additional public record of notable incidents or registry actions beyond its current corporate ownership and U.S. registration. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is outfitted with a 50-seat single-class regional cabin, matching the common commuter configuration for the CRJ-200ER variant and optimized for high-frequency short- to medium-haul sectors. The avionics suite is the Collins Pro Line 4, supporting regional airline operational requirements including navigation, communication and flight management for typical ETOPS-exempt regional missions. Operated under ownership of Pinnacle Airlines in the United States, the platform’s mission profile would customarily include shuttle and thin-route regional services where 50-seat capacity and rapid cycle turnarounds are prioritized. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with CF34-3B1 engine support and aging-airframe programs customary for early-2000s CRJ-series jets.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER sits within the regional jet niche as a 50-seat, twin-engine design aimed at short- to medium-range commuter markets; its 1,345 nm range and 424 kts cruise speed make it suitable for trans-regional sectors. Competing models historically included smaller regional types from Embraer and earlier regional derivatives from Bombardier; aftermarket demand often centers on operators seeking cost-effective regional lift or conversion to specialized roles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically reflect the established CF34 support network and the airframe’s age, with lifecycle, refurbishing, and parts availability influencing marketability.
