N8698A

The airframe bearing registration N8698A is a 2002-built Bombardier CRJ-200 (CL-600-2B19), manufacturer serial number 7698, registered in the US. This specific airframe is recorded as a 44-seat regional configuration and carries the typical systems and equipment fit for late-model CRJ-200 series deliveries. Operator identity, full ownership timeline and detailed registry transaction history are Not published for this entry; publicly available records do not list recent high-profile incidents or exceptional valuation events. Condition highlights are limited to manufacturer-standard configuration and powerplant type; detailed records of maintenance status, major checks or damage history are Not published.

The cabin is fitted in a 44-seat single-class regional layout consistent with CRJ-440/CRJ-200LR styling, intended for high-frequency short-to-medium stage routes. Avionics aboard conform to a Collins ProLine fit (the ProLine 4 suite being typical for the type), supporting conventional regional airline navigation, communications and flight management tasks. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short-haul regional services and point-to-point city-pair sectors within its roughly 1,700 nm range at cruise speeds near 424 knots and operational ceilings up to 41,000 ft. Routine maintenance considerations hinge on older CF34-3B1 powerplants and legacy systems common to early-2000s CRJ-200s; specific maintenance status and any supplemental interior refurbishments are Not published.

The CRJ-200 (CL-600-2B19) family occupies the regional jet niche for 44–50 seat point-to-point commuter markets, offering relatively high cruise speed and arable range for its class. Competing types during its service era included the Embraer ERJ-145 and smaller variants of newer regional jets offering improved fuel efficiency and avionics. Buyers and operators historically consider airframe age, CF34 engine hours and component life-limited parts when assessing maintenance cost and resale value; for this airframe, year 2002 and its installed equipment suite are central to such evaluations.
