Initial FDR data has been released and suggests that Engine #2 failed, but that #1 was then shut down.

Absolutely right Paul, my apologies. Just re-read the ATSB report and fully accept I had the story all the wrong way around. Apologies again.

Yes and they were extremely lucky it had a good outcome. I doubt that type of incident will happen again, with protocols in place to prevent it from happening again. But still, I'll prefer to fly Virgin Australia over TransAsia.

Apparently 10 out of 49 (20%) of the Transasia Pilots being proficiency tested have FAILED an Oral Test on procedures in the event of an Engine Failure.

Not the first time that a good engine was shut down after an engine failure.
