N171561996 Canadair CL-600-2B19

Overview

This airframe, registered as N17156, is a 1996-built Canadair/Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200LR) with manufacturer's serial number 7156. The airframe is owned by Bank of Utah Trustee (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US) and is registered in the United States. As a 50-seat regional jet of its vintage, N17156 is typically recorded in asset ledgers and trust arrangements used by financial institutions; ownership under a trustee corporation indicates its use as a leased or finance-controlled asset rather than direct airline operation. Notable registry actions are limited to its US registration and trustee-held ownership, with no additional operator history published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is outfitted in a 50-seat single-class regional layout (Y50) compatible with short-haul, high-frequency regional routes and shuttle services. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, a common configuration across CRJ-200 operator fleets that supports standard regional airline navigation, communication and flight-management requirements. Given the trustee ownership and typical mission profile of the CL-600-2B19, N17156 would be employed on sectors leveraging its 1,700 nm range and 424-knot cruise speed, configurations suited to multi-leg regional schedules, corporate or charter contracts, and secondary-market lease returns. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow CRJ-200 program norms, including engine support for the GE CF34-3B1 and avionics lifecycle management for Pro Line 4 installations.

Model & Market Context

The Canadair/Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200LR) occupies the 50-seat regional jet niche, offering airlines and lessors a balance of speed and runway performance for short- to medium-range missions. Competitors in its era and market segment included other 50-seat jets and high-capacity turboprops tailored to regional feed and thin routes. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N17156 is influenced by seat count, avionics maturity, engine type, and residual asset condition; trustee-held examples are often marketed through lease returns or remarketing channels. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize CF34 engine spares, Pro Line 4 avionics support, and lifecycle costs tied to airframe hours and cycles typical of 1996-built CRJ-200s.
