N8974C

This airframe is registered as N8974C, a Bombardier CRJ-200LR completed in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 7974. The airframe was built by Bombardier Aerospace and is recorded as owned by Slate Aerospace (a corporation). The civil registration is US and the jet’s configuration and equipment reflect a standard regional commuter fit from its production era. Valuation and condition details are not published.

N8974C is outfitted in a 50-seat regional layout with 2+2 abreast seating arranged as a single-class high-density regional cabin, aimed at short-haul commuter missions. The flightdeck carries a Collins Pro Line family avionics fit typical of CRJ-200 variants, providing a conventional Pro Line EFIS/flightdeck environment for regional operations. With a 1,700 nm range and a 424 kt cruise speed, the airframe is suitable for multi-sector regional networks and shuttle-type services where high-frequency seating is prioritized. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its twin GE CF34-3B1 engines and the legacy Pro Line systems, which reflect common parts, service procedures, and inspection cycles for early-2000s CRJ-200 series jets.

As a CRJ-200LR built in 2004 and carrying serial 7974, this aircraft exemplifies the CRJ-200 family’s use as a 50-seat regional jet balancing speed, altitude capability, and airport accessibility; its 41,000 ft ceiling and 424 kt cruise support short- to medium-range regional sectors up to 1,700 nm. The airframe’s lifecycle and resale considerations are influenced by engine type (GE CF34-3B1) and avionics pedigree (Collins Pro Line), which inform maintenance programs and potential avionics upgrade paths. Ownership by Slate Aerospace places the jet under corporate stewardship; specific operator base and utilization history are not published.
