N970DC

The airframe bearing tail number N970DC is an Embraer Embraer ERJ-145LR built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 14500837. It is registered in the United States and is held by CBG LLC, an LLC registered owner based in Wilsonville, OR, US, which appears as the current registered owner on public records. The aircraft retains its operator-standard ERJ-145LR configuration and has the regulatory registration history consistent with U.S.-based corporate ownership and operation. No publicized incidents or major registry actions are recorded in the supplied data; the airframe’s documented status centers on its LLC ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin of N970DC is fitted in a single-class, high-density regional seating layout consistent with airline-style configurations of approximately 50–55 seats, with the specific data listing 55 passenger seats. Avionics fit is the typical ERJ-145 fit of the Honeywell Primus 1000 series, supporting regional airline and charter operational requirements. With a 1,550 nm ferry/mission range and a cruise speed of 447 knots, typical missions for this airframe include short to medium regional sectors, commercial feeder work, corporate shuttle duties, or ad hoc charter operations based from its U.S. operator base. Maintenance considerations follow the ERJ-145LR fleet standard with twin Rolls‑Royce AE 3007A1P propulsion and the logistical footprint of Embraer regional support networks.

The Embraer ERJ-145LR family occupies the regional jet niche for 50–55 seat markets, offering trans-regional range and jet cruise performance for short-haul routes. Competing types in the same era and mission space include lower-capacity regional jets such as early Bombardier CRJ variants and other regional turbofan designs. Demand for ERJ-145LR airframes typically arises from regional carriers, cargo conversions, and charter operators; prospective buyers and lessors evaluate airframe hours, engine life, and avionics standardization (here the Honeywell Primus 1000 series) as key resale and maintenance considerations.
