Pilots suspended after Taiwan crash

Taiwan’s aviation authority ordered the suspension of 10 pilots from TransAsia Airways who failed a proficiency test given after one of the airline’s planes crashed, killing at least 42 people.

The 10 were among 49 pilots who underwent an oral exam on handling emergency situations administered after the February 4 crash, and need to be retrained, the Civil Aviation Administration said in a statement.

It said 19 other pilots who have not taken the test will also be suspended until they pass.
