N870DC

This airframe, registered as N870DC, is a Bombardier CL-600-2C10 (CRJ-701ER) built by Bombardier Inc. in 2010 with manufacturer serial number 10314. The airframe is owned by SKYWEST AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in St. George, UT, and is registered in the US. Operated out of the owner’s regional base, the aircraft’s paperwork reflects typical regional airline maintenance cycles and a market valuation listed at $4,000,000, indicating a mature but serviceable condition for line operations. No other notable registry actions are published for this specific tail.

The cabin configuration for this airframe is an 80-seat regional layout typical of the CRJ-701ER sub-type, optimized for short- to medium-haul sector density and quick turnarounds. Avionics are listed as Rockwell Collins ProLine but remain operator-dependent, meaning the installed suite can vary by SkyWest configuration or retrofit status. Typical mission profiles for N870DC include regional feeder routes and short transcontinental sectors within the aircraft’s 1,434 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts, operated from the company’s base in St. George, UT and network affiliates. Maintenance considerations follow the CF34 engine family’s established shop visit intervals and regional airline heavy-use patterns; component life-limited items and interior wear are primary factors affecting dispatch reliability on high-frequency rotations.

The Bombardier CL-600-2C10 (CRJ-701ER) sits in the regional jet niche offering higher seat count than smaller regional types while retaining performance suitable for thin trunk routes and higher-frequency service. Competing models include stretched regional jets from other manufacturers that offer similar seating and range; buyer demand tends toward operators seeking dense regional capacity with established fleet commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2010 airframe emphasize CF34-series engine maintenance history, avionics fitment variability, and the airframe’s remaining economic life at a market valuation near $4,000,000, which reflects typical depreciation for early-2010s regional jets.
