Taiwan air force suspends training after second fatal accident in 2022

TAIPEI, 01 June 2022, (TON): The defense ministry said “Taiwan’s air force suspended flight training of new pilots after a jet trainer crashed killing its pilot, the second fatal accident the air force has experienced in 2022.”

The ministry said the AT-3 jet crashed during a training mission from the Gangshan air base in the southern city of Kaohsiung and the body of the pilot had already been found.

The AT-3 is a domestically-developed advanced trainer that first flew in 1980 and can carry weapons.

Air force Chief of Staff Huang Chih-wei told reporters the aircraft had gone missing a few minutes after take-off, piloted by 23-year-old Hsu Ta-chun.

Huang added “the aircraft was in good working order with no major maintenance issues reported over the past year.”

He said “the air force has now suspended flight missions for its trainee pilots.”
