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 turbojet 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 166 Airbus Industrie 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 Airbus A320 family →

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 adequate airspeed, which resulted in an inadvertent stall. A factor is wind gust and the pilot's inexperience in type aircraft.
