RESEARCH NOTES

About N13979

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

Overview

This airframe, registered as N13979, is an Embraer-built regional jet delivered in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 145181. The type is an Embraer ERJ-145LR produced by Embraer S.A., and it is recorded in US civil registry as a US-registered aircraft. Ownership is listed to Delux Public Charter LLC, a Dallas-based LLC operating from Dallas, TX, US, representing the principal operator/home base for the asset. No public record of significant incident history is provided here; current notes emphasize its high-density configuration and typical systems fit consistent with late-1990s ERJ-145LR examples.

Operations & Cabin

N13979 is outfitted in a high-density regional single-class cabin described as a High-density regional single-class layout (approx. 50-55 seats; 3-abreast seating), reflecting typical commuter/charter use with 3-abreast abreast seating and compact galley/lav arrangements consistent with the ERJ-145 family. Avionics are fitted in the typical ERJ-145 configuration, noted as Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting regional IFR operations and standard flight management tasks for the type. With a certified range of 1,550 nm and a cruise speed near 450 kts, the airframe is well suited to short- to mid-range regional charters, scheduled commuter sectors, and point-to-point charter missions based from Dallas, TX, US. Maintenance considerations follow the LR variant’s longer-range systems and twin AE 3007A powerplants, with operator-specific schedules managed by the registered owner.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-145LR sits within a family of 50-seat regional jets optimized for regional airlines and charter operators seeking efficient, short-field-capable twins. Powered by Allison (Rolls-Royce) AE 3007A engines, the model competes with jets like early regional variants of the Bombardier CRJ series and smaller regional turbofans in terms of seat count and mission profile. Demand in the secondary market typically favors well-maintained LR-configured airframes for charter and ad hoc regional operations; buyers and operators should factor in legacy avionics like the Honeywell Primus 1000 and the airframe’s age when assessing maintenance, upgrade, and resale considerations.
