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 109 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) →

  • Jul 2, 2017 (19:19 UTC)Accident · Denver, CONTSB #DCA17LA182
    Aircraft in report: BOMBARDIER INC CL 600 2C10Damage: SubstantialHighest injury: None

    NTSB probable cause: The fuel supply tube fitting pulling out of the left engine’s operability bleed valve (OBV) during the landing rollout, allowing fuel to leak and contact hot engine cases, which ignited a fire that caused thermal damage to the engine pylon. Contributing to the fitting pullout from the OBV was an undetected progressive environmental control system (ECS) support link wear condition that allowed excessive OBV movement relative to the engine, and the lack of alignment instructions in the base engine assembly drawing and the lack of maintenance tasks to assess the operational condition of the ECS links.
