Crew of crashed Taiwan TransAsia plane shut off working engine - source
The crew of a TransAsia Airways ATR plane that crashed in Taiwan in February, killing 43 people on board, had shut off the working engine after the other lost power, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday. The latest investigation report into the Taipei crash, to be released on Thursday, will say data readings showed the almost-new turboprop ATR 72-600 stalled and crashed shortly after the functioning engine was switched off, said the source.

do u trust these pilots? Look at Garuda"s reputation crashing a 737 over shooting the runways the same when they had DC10"s BBQ at the end of runways just like Air France do but they have not being going deep sea diving lately with ther Airbus jets maybe the Asian carriers get away with to much and ride the thin line most treat there aircraft like crap
Have you tried Lion air? You will be pretty pissed when u end up in the water by the way no inflatables aren"t allowed on board couldn"t find a life jacket not even a Saftey card in the seat pockets in front of you where you seat. They should call themselves flow rider airlines.
LOL.. Trust an Asian Pilot.... Are you kidding... Those guy's flying are definitely trained to different standard, and I do not mean a better standard either...
Lots of asian pilots in Singapore Airlines. You probably won't feel safe flying with them!
Knowing the culture of that part of the world, I'm not sure I'd trust any of the. Got to be some good ones in there though.
Most come over here for training and have to learn from scratch. Most of those countries don't have any GA program of any type.
