The Air Force has lifted a flight ban on its fleet of Brave Eagle advanced
jet trainers.

The Air Force said the decision to lift the flight ban came after thorough
inspections of its 40 other advanced jet trainers... and increased simulator
training for air crews.

While enginge failure has been named as the probable cause of the crash, the
Air Force says a special task force is still looking into the exact cause of
the incident.

That task force is comprised of members of the Air Force's flight training
department and experts from aircraft developer, Aerospace Industrial
Development Corporation.

The fleet was first grounded on February 15 after one pf the planes crashed
in waters off Taitung during a training session.

The pilot was able to eject and parachute to safety.

He sustained minor injuries and had been hospitalised for two days before he
was discharged.
