What kind of aircraft is this?
This is a Bombardier CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) — a twin-engine regional jet with engines mounted at the rear. CRJ700/900 variants are widely flown by regional airlines that operate under major-airline brands.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).
There are 315 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 1,446 Bombardier Inc 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 Bombardier CRJ (CRJ200/700/900/1000) →

NTSB probable cause: The incident was caused by the air traffic controller assigning an altitude below the published procedure altitude for the approach segment to be flown prior to the aircraft being established on a published portion of the approach. Contributing to the incident was the flight crew's failure to identify the appropriate altitude for the segment of the approach being flown and query the controller before subsequent decent below the published minimum altitude.
