Transasia Pilots

TransAsia Airways should review its safety protocols, pilot training programme and hiring practices to reduce "imminent risks", Taiwan's aviation safety agency said on Friday.

Two TransAsia Airways pilots caused a 2014 plane crash that left 48 people dead by flying too low as they attempted to land on an island during a typhoon, Taiwan's aviation authorities said today.

A TransAsia Airways plane with 26 people on board landed with only one of its two engines today, as the Taiwanese airline faces persistent questions over its safety record after two fatal crashes since July last year.

10 TransAsia ATR pilots have been banned from flying temporarily after failing a flight skills test ordered after last week's plane crash that killed at least 42 people, the island's aviation regulator said today.

Pilots at Taiwan's TransAsia Airways are being tested on how they handle an engine failure and subsequent emergency, days after the fatal crash of one of the airline's ATR 72-600s, an official from the country's aviation regulator said.

TransAsia Airways on Saturday started the first day of a programme to retrain its pilots after its second deadly crash in seven months, as rescuers retrieved three more bodies from the drowned plane.

The blackbox data and voice recorders of a TransAsia plane that crashed into a river in Taipei showed that the pilot called "mayday" and announced an engine flameout 35 seconds after noticing engine failure, aviation authorities said on Friday.

Taiwan rescuers scoured a river for 12 people still missing from a TransAsia plane crash Thursday as the pilot was hailed as a hero for apparently battling to avoid hitting built-up areas shortly after issuing a "mayday" call.

The pilots of a TransAsia Airways plane that crashed in July killing 48 people could not see the runway as they descended to the ground during a rainstorm, Taiwanese authorities said today.
