The ROC Air Force says mechanical brake failure caused an Brave Eagle jet trainer to overrun a Gangshan runway.
Officials say both the flight instructor and student officer aboard the jet escaped without injuries during Tuesday's training incident.
The incident marked the first severe mechanical failure that led to an aircraft skidding past runway limits, although the Air Force says nine brake-related events occurred on the aircraft over three years.
