N16525 2001 Embraer ERJ-135LR

Overview

This entry covers airframe N16525, an Embraer ERJ-135LR built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 145403. The airframe is recorded as owned by Corporate Flight Management DBA, a corporation based in Smyrna, TN, US, and is registered in the US registry. Recorded registration and ownership with Corporate Flight Management mark the principal known administrative milestone for this airframe; no other operator changes are documented in the supplied data. The aircraft’s condition and valuation specifics are not published here beyond the factory configuration and typical airline-fit equipment listed for this model.

Operations & Cabin

The interior of N16525 is outfitted in a Single-class 37-seat airline layout (three-abreast seating) consistent with the ERJ-135LR short-range regional configuration, optimized for higher-density commuter and corporate shuttle missions. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-haul point-to-point routes within the aircraft’s 1,750 nm range and high-utilization regional schedules where quick turnarounds and frequent cycles are expected. Avionics for this airframe follow typical airline-fit ERJ-135 installations with Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting required navigation, communication and standard flight management functions. As an operator asset of Corporate Flight Management DBA based in Smyrna, TN, US, maintenance considerations are those common to in-service ERJ-135LRs, including attention to the twin Allison AE 3007A engine fleet-support items and line maintenance for three-abreast regional cabin wear.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer ERJ-135LR occupies the regional jet niche for operators needing 30-40 seat capacity with relatively high cruise speed (447 kts) and a service ceiling of 37,000 ft, offering flexibility for slot-constrained or thin-route markets. Competing types in the same segment historically include smaller regional jets and turboprops that trade capacity, speed and operating economics; buyer and charter demand for ERJ-135LR airframes is shaped by mission fit, airframe hours, and engine/avionics status. For resale or continued operation, maintenance status of the Allison AE 3007A engines and the installed Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite are primary considerations affecting marketability.
