What kind of aircraft is this?
The Embraer E-Jet family (E170/E175/E190/E195) is a twin-engine regional jet with two seats on each side of the aisle, widely used by regional and mainline airlines.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).
There are 432 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 563 Embraer S A aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total. That's a well-established type that mechanics, pilots and regulators know very well.
An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Embraer E-Jet (E170/E175/E190/E195) →
