N981EV

This entry covers airframe N981EV, a Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) built in 2003 with manufacturer's serial number 7768. The airframe is owned by the corporation SLATE CRJ ACQUISITIONS 1 LLC, headquartered in Johnstown, PA, US; the corporate ownership is a notable part of its recorded history. The aircraft carries a United States registration and is equipped to the CRJ-200ER standard; ownership was effected through the acquiring corporation listed in Johnstown, PA. Public registry actions are limited to the registration and corporate ownership record.

The airframe is fitted with a high-density single-class regional cabin configured for 55-seat capacity, reflecting typical short-haul regional passenger operations. Its avionics fit follows the CRJ-200 series standard, commonly installed as Collins Pro Line 4, supporting regional air-carrier navigation and communications requirements. With a range of 1,305 nm and a cruise speed of 424 kts, the aircraft is optimized for short- to medium-sector routes under regional carrier or corporate-lease operations, operating from bases consistent with its U.S. registration and corporate owner location in Johnstown, PA. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe follow CF34-3B1 engine life-limits and CRJ-200 airframe/avionics support common to the fleet type.

The Bombardier CRJ-200ER (CL-600-2B19) family occupies the regional jet niche for 50–60 seat markets, offering efficient twin-engine performance with a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and typical regional cruise speeds near 424 kts. Competing models in its class include other regional jets and high-density turbofan commuters that serve short-haul routes; resale and maintenance considerations center on CF34-3B1 engine support and avionics updates for Pro Line 4-equipped airframes. For corporate-owned examples such as SLATE CRJ ACQUISITIONS 1 LLC’s N981EV, market demand is driven by regional operators, charter services, and asset managers seeking well-documented, US-registered CRJ-200ERs.
