TransAsia GE235 Crash: Flights Cancelled To Train Taiwan Pilots.

Taiwanese airline TransAsia Airways says it is cancelling 90 flights so that its pilots can attend training, after one of its planes crashed

on Wednesday.
Flight GE235 plunged into a river in the capital Taipei, killing at least 40 of the 58 people on board.
Officials are probing why both plane engines were off during the crash.
Data suggests that the pilots, who are among the dead, may have shut one engine off after the other lost power.
Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) has ordered retraining for all TransAsia pilots flying its ATR fleet.
"All 71 ATR pilots will take part in proficiency tests carried out by the CAA and third-party professionals for an estimated four days," TransAsia Airways said in a statement (in Chinese).
The aviation regulator has also ordered engine and fuel system checks on the remaining 22 ATR-manufactured planes currently in active service on the island.
