RESEARCH NOTES

About N205JQ

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

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N205JQ is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2008, serial number 17000248. It is an Embraer 175LR (marketed as the ERJ-170-200LR family) manufactured by Embraer S.A. and currently owned by Republic Airways Inc of Indianapolis, IN, US. The airframe is registered in the US and configured as a fixed-wing multi-engine regional transport seating 80 passengers. Its retention in a major U.S.-based regional carrier fleet has kept the airframe under continuous commercial operation rather than being ferried to secondary markets or converted to executive use.

Operations & Cabin

This specific Embraer 175LR (ERJ-170-200LR) is outfitted in a single-class 80-seat regional configuration typical of high-density short-haul operations; the cabin layout emphasizes aisle access and quick turnarounds for frequent sector rotations. Avionics and systems follow Embraer’s standard line-fit for the 170/175 family, supporting ETOPS-compatible twinjet operational practices and regional airline scheduling. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include domestic regional sectors up to its maximum ferry range of 2,200 nm, operating from its operator’s base in Indianapolis and serving hub-and-spoke flows; maintenance cycles align with airline heavy-check intervals under Republic Airways’ maintenance program. No unique cabin amenities or special modifications are listed for this serial, and maintenance considerations remain those common to CF34-powered regional jets, including life-limited components and periodic engine shop visits.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer 175LR occupies the regional jet performance niche for single-aisle, 70-88 seat markets, providing a longer-range capability relative to baseline 170 variants while retaining efficient short-field performance. Competing models include the Bombardier (now Airbus) A220-100 in some configurations and smaller narrowbodies from legacy manufacturers when upgauged. Buyer demand for LR variants is driven by carriers seeking extended stage length without stepping up to larger narrowbodies; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine shop visit history, component life status, and adherence to manufacturer service bulletins for the CF34-8E5 powerplant.
