RESEARCH NOTES

About N117HQ

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, registered as N117HQ, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 17000184. The airframe is an Embraer ERJ-175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) variant produced by Embraer S.A. and is owned by Republic Airways Inc, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and has been operated in regional single-aisle service; ownership is recorded under Republic Airways, indicating operator-based deployment from its Indianapolis home base. Public valuation or specific condition reports are not published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin on this airframe follows a single-aisle regional layout with operator-dependent seating that typically accommodates 70-88 passengers and is commonly fitted in two-class or regional configurations depending on route requirements. Avionics fit is typically the Honeywell Primus Epic suite as used across the E-Jets family, with allowance for operator-specific equipment choices. Typical missions for this LR (Long Range) variant include short- to medium-haul regional routes where higher frequency and airport-pair flexibility are prioritized; cruise performance and a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft support efficient sector utilization. Maintenance considerations align with regional jet operations, operator-driven configuration, engine selection of the CF34-8E series, and fleet commonality under Republic Airways’ management influence line maintenance and heavy-check scheduling.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-175LR sits within the E-Jets family as a regional jet optimized for higher-capacity regional trunk routes with a 2,150 nm range, filling a niche between smaller regional turboprops and larger narrowbodies. Competing aircraft in similar missions include other E-Jets and smaller variants of mainline narrowbodies; demand is driven by regional carriers and scope-clause considerations. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are shaped by its CF34 powerplant commonality, operator configuration variability, and the LR range capability, all factors commonly reviewed by lessors and regional operators when assessing lifecycle value.
