What kind of aircraft is this?

The Airbus A220 (originally the Bombardier CSeries) is a modern twin-engine, single-aisle jet for 100–150 seat routes.

In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).

There are 184 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, 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 Airbus A220 →

    This happened before the current aircraft was built, so it involved a different aircraft that previously used this N-number.

    NTSB probable cause: the pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain on which to land the airplane. A factor relating with the accident was: the large rock, which the airplane contacted.
