RESEARCH NOTES
About N13978
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry covers airframe N13978, an Embraer-built regional jet of model Embraer ERJ-145LR delivered in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 145180. The airframe is owned by Delux Public Charter LLC, a Dallas-based limited liability company (Dallas, TX, US) and is registered in the United States under US registry marks. Registered in the United States and held by a single LLC operating charter services are the principal registry notes attached to this airframe; no additional ownership transfers or de-registration events are published in the supplied data.
Operations & Cabin
The subject aircraft is configured in a 55-seat single-class regional layout (airline configuration) intended for short- to medium-haul charter operations. Avionics on this airframe are fitted with the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, providing the cockpit instrumentation and flight management capabilities typical of late-1990s ERJ-145 LR deliveries. Operated from the owner’s base in Dallas, TX, US, the aircraft’s performance, particularly its 1,550 nm range and 447 kts cruise, suits point-to-point regional charters and higher-frequency shuttle routes within a continental footprint. Maintenance and cabin considerations for this specific unit align with common ERJ-145LR practices, with an emphasis on regional-seat wear items, avionics checks for the Primus 1000 suite, and engine program adherence for the AE3007C powerplants.
Model & Market Context
The Embraer ERJ-145LR occupies a regional jet niche focused on 50-60 seat capacity markets where speed and lower trip costs versus turboprops are valued. With twin AE3007C engines rated at 7,800 lbf each and a service ceiling of 37,000 ft, the type competes historically with comparable regional jets in terms of speed and range rather than cabin size. Demand among charter operators for airframes like N13978 is driven by reliability of the AE3007 series, the installed Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics commonality, and the suitability of a 55-seat single-class layout for high-utilization regional work; resale and maintenance considerations typically follow established ERJ-145LR inspection cycles and engine program costs.
