What kind of aircraft is this?
The Airbus A320 family (A318/A319/A320/A321) is a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner family in service since 1988 and one of the most common airliners in the world, used for short and medium-haul routes.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).
There are 201 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 212 Airbus S A S 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 Airbus A320 family →

Nov 17, 2011 (21:19 UTC)Accident · Ulysses, PANTSB #ERA12FA074Aircraft in report: BEECH 95-C55Damage: SubstantialHighest injury: Serious
This happened before the current aircraft was built, so it involved a different aircraft that previously used this N-number.
NTSB probable cause: The total loss of left engine power due to fuel starvation, and the pilot’s improper configuration of the fuel system during remedial actions, which resulted in fuel starvation of the right engine. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s incomplete preflight inspection and the pilot’s operation of the airplane with a known faulty fuel quantity indicating system.
