N974DC

This entry covers airframe N974DC, an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 14501186. The airframe was produced by Embraer S.A. as an Embraer ERJ-145XR and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to CBG LLC, an LLC based in Wilsonville, OR, US; U.S. registry entries note a 55-seat capability that supplements the manufacturer’s typical 50-seat specification. No public record of multiple operators or publicized major transactions is provided in the supplied data.

The cabin on this specific ERJ-145XR follows the manufacturer’s regional single-class arrangement, noted in manufacturer specifications as a 50-seat layout at 31-inch pitch, while some U.S. registry entries for this airframe indicate a 55-seat fit. Avionics fit and interior refurbishment status are Not published in the supplied data. Typical missions for an ERJ-145XR of this configuration include short- to medium-haul regional passenger operations, air charter work, and corporate shuttle duties across ranges up to 2,000 nm. Based at the owner’s location in Wilsonville, OR, US, the airframe’s performance—cruise at 461 kts and service ceiling of 37,000 ft—supports frequent regional rotations and feeder services into larger hubs. Maintenance considerations follow the twin Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E engine program and regional-jet airframe schedules customary to the type.

The Embraer ERJ-145XR occupies a niche for 50–55 seat regional jets offering extended range relative to earlier ERJ-145 variants, enabling longer thin-route sectors. Competing types historically include small regional jets and larger turboprops in terms of seat count and operating economics. Buyer and charter demand for a 2013-built ERJ-145XR such as N974DC is influenced by engine program status, seat configuration (manufacturer spec 50 vs. registry-indicated 55), and overall maintenance history; resale considerations hinge on inspection records and compliance with regional regulatory requirements.
