In 2LNR's schedule data, Regional Air Lines (FN) flies 6 aircraft types across 15 airports: Cessna 208 Caravan, Embraer ERJ-145, Embraer ERJ-135, Pilatus PC-12, Beechcraft 1900, and Airbus A320. Some flights are filed only as an Embraer ERJ or a Bombardier CRJ, without the variant. Knowing which one operates your departure is the first thing to settle before you pick a seat, because cabins differ far more between airframes than between rows. Each aircraft below opens the nonstop routes FN flies it on, with the longest of them and the configuration on file where there is one.

Aircraft types FN currently schedules on its own metal, each with the nonstop routes it operates, how far those routes run and the cabin configuration FN records for it. Regional flying under the FN brand counts as FN metal; flights FN markets but another airline operates don't.

Route counts are distinct directional nonstop city pairs in 2LNR's schedule data. Where an airline files a family code without naming a variant, the card reads as the family: that's what was filed, and guessing the airframe would be worse than saying so.
Distances are great-circle miles between the two airports, rounded to the nearest ten, not the track a flight actually files. A longest route is shown only where every one of that aircraft's routes could be measured, and a typical route only where most of them could; where the measurement was too thin, the figure is left out rather than estimated.
The useful version of this question is per flight, not per aircraft type.
On Pro, 2LNR reads the seat map for the specific FN flight and date you're looking at, scores the open seats inside your own cabin and marks paid seats as paid. It's read at the moment you ask rather than stored, so an aircraft swap shows up as a different map instead of a wrong one.
Cabins churn in the last days before departure as blocked rows release and upgrades clear. Seat monitoring re-reads the map on a cadence that tightens as departure approaches and tells you when a better seat opens, or when the seat you hold changes underneath you.
More on that in seat monitoring.
2LNR doesn't publish stored cabin drawings or per-seat comfort ratings for FN aircraft, and this page won't pretend otherwise. For browsing a layout on an aircraft you haven't booked, a maintained diagram library such as AeroLOPA is the right tool.
