What kind of aircraft is this?

The Boeing 737 is a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner that has been in production since the 1960s through several generations (Original, Classic, Next-Generation and MAX). It is one of the most widely flown airliner families 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 30 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 2,878 Boeing aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total.

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 Boeing 737 →

  • Aug 19, 2024 (19:45 UTC)Accident · Highland Meadows, NMNTSB #DCA24LA290
    Aircraft in report: BOEING 737Damage: Not recordedHighest injury: Serious

    NTSB probable cause: An encounter with convectively induced turbulence during descent.

  • Aug 11, 2023 (19:06 UTC)Incident · San Diego, CANTSB #OPS23FA010A
    Aircraft in report: BOEING 737-7BDDamage: Not recordedHighest injury: Not recorded

    NTSB probable cause: The local control controller’s poor judgment in duty prioritization which distracted them from monitoring arriving and departing traffic and resulted in a runway incursion and loss of same runway separation. Contributing was the operations supervisor’s decision to troubleshoot a faulty flight strip printer instead of maintaining direct supervision of the operation.

  • Nov 13, 2002 (16:30 UTC)Accident · Carrizo Springs, TXNTSB #FTW03LA045
    Aircraft in report: Robinson R22 BetaDamage: SubstantialHighest injury: Minor

    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 failure to maintain control of the helicopter after encountering dynamic rollover. A contributing factor was the deer pulling the aircraft unevenly.
