N182SY2016 Embraer ERJ 170-200LR

Overview

This airframe, registered as N182SY, is an Embraer ERJ 170-200LR built by Embraer S.A. in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 17000579. The airframe is recorded as owned by Skywest Airlines Inc, a corporate operator based in St. George, UT, US, and is registered in the US.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is outfitted in a high-density single-class 88-seat regional layout intended to maximize revenue seating for short- and medium-haul sectors. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include frequent regional scheduled services and high-cycle commuter operations operating from a base consistent with the owner’s hub region. Specific avionics fit is not published in the provided data, but the airframe’s performance, 489 kts cruise and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, supports operations on thin-route and short-stage-length sectors up to 2,200 nm. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe follow the CF34-8E5 engine commonality and regional-operator heavy-cycle practices; its corporate ownership and single-operator register suggest centralized fleet-level maintenance management.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ 170-200LR occupies the regional jet market niche for operators requiring sub-100-seat capability with extended-range capability; this airframe’s 2,200 nm range and 14,510 lbf-class engines give it trans-regional flexibility. Competing models include similar regional jets from other manufacturers in the 70-100 seat class.
