N117SY2014 Embraer ERJ-175LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N117SY, is an Embraer ERJ-175LR built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 17000416. It is owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporation based in St George, UT, USA, and is recorded on the U.S. registry. The airliner carries the manufacturer designation Embraer ERJ-175LR (E175LR / ERJ-170-200LR) and is powered and outfitted consistent with regional jet operations; maintenance and operational control are conducted under the owner/operator’s corporate programs. Public records note FAA certification attributes for a high-density arrangement, and there are no additional published valuation or special-condition entries associated with this specific tail number in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is FAA-recorded with certification up to 88-seat high-density configurations but is commonly operated by the carrier in a 76-seat dual-class layout, reflecting typical SkyWest regional airline service patterns. The flight deck is equipped with the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated avionics architecture tailored for the E-Jet family, supporting airline-standard flight management, navigation, and systems monitoring. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-haul regional routes where range of 2,200 nm and a cruise of 470 kts provide efficient stage lengths and schedule flexibility. Maintenance considerations align with GE CF34-8E5 engine support and Embraer E-Jet scheduled structural and systems inspections under the operator’s maintenance program.

Model & Market Context

The ERJ-175LR occupies the regional jet performance niche for single-aisle operations connecting smaller markets to hub airports, offering a balance of capacity and range compared to regional turboprops and larger narrowbodies. Competing models in its segment include other regional jets and stretched regional derivatives; buyer and charter demand typically favors proven fleet commonality and engine support, notably GE CF34 series availability. Resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by the airframe’s 2014 vintage, engine type, certified high-density seating capability, and the presence of the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite.
