Its brakes had failed. One main-wheel tyre burst, the jet veered off the runway and its main landing gear was damaged. The student, a lieutenant, and his instructor, a lieutenant colonel, climbed out unhurt.<\/p>\n\n<p>The aircraft was a T-5 Brave Eagle, the advanced jet trainer that Taiwan designed and built itself, and which completed its 66-aircraft production run only seven weeks earlier. By Wednesday 11 November, the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/air-forces\/republic-of-china-air-force\/\">Republic of China Air Force<\/a> had grounded the entire fleet for special inspections.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f9;border:1px solid #e2e7ee;padding:18px 22px;margin:22px 0 26px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#0d1117\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px\"><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Incident:<\/strong> Tuesday 10 November 2026, about 11:45 local time, Gangshan Air Force Base<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> AIDC T-5 Brave Eagle advanced jet trainer, Air Force Flight Training Command<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>What happened:<\/strong> Brake malfunction on landing; a main tyre burst, the jet veered off the runway and its main gear was damaged<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Crew:<\/strong> Student and instructor unhurt<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Mechanical failure, according to Air Force Chief of Staff Lt.

According to the paper and the news site TaiSounds, the brakes malfunctioned on landing, one main tyre blew and the trainer ran off the side of the runway.<\/p>\n\n<p>On Wednesday morning, Air Force Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Lee Ching-jan was questioned about the incident in the Legislative Yuan by Taiwan People&rsquo;s Party legislator Wang An-hsiang. Lee confirmed that an investigation had found a mechanical failure, Taiwan&rsquo;s Central News Agency (CNA) and the <em>Taipei Times<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/aidc-t-5-brave-eagle-prototype-taxi-2020.jpg\" alt=\"An AIDC T-5 Brave Eagle prototype taxiing towards a marshaller at Ching Chuan Kang Air Base in June 2020\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A Brave Eagle prototype taxis in during the type&rsquo;s first-flight demonstration at Ching Chuan Kang Air Base in June 2020.

The Brave Eagle fleet has recorded nine brake-related incidents in the past three years. In eight of them, he said, the aircraft&rsquo;s safety mechanisms worked and the jets stopped safely on the runway. Tuesday&rsquo;s case was the only one involving a serious brake failure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Wang was less reassured. He told the legislature that repeated reports of brake failures and maintenance problems on the Brave Eagle could point to a flight safety concern, and urged the Air Force to review the problems and propose fixes.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The whole fleet stays on the ground<\/h2>\n\n<p>After the incident, the Air Force grounded all 65 Brave Eagles for special inspections on the advice of the manufacturer, Aerospace Industrial Development Corp. (AIDC), a military source told CNA. The jets will return to flight training once the checks confirm there are no technical problems. No date has been given.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 8px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t-ZQcLKy9r8\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 24px\">TVBS News reports on the Brave Eagle that ran off the runway at Gangshan after its brakes failed (in Mandarin).<\/p>\n\n<p>The timing is awkward for the Flight Training Command. According to the <em>United Daily News<\/em> and TaiSounds, it had already dealt with another mishap the previous week, when a <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/t-34-mentor\/\">T-34C<\/a> primary trainer flown by a new student on a solo flight porpoised on landing, damaging its nose gear and losing its nose wheel.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is also the second time the young fleet has been grounded. In February 2025, a Brave Eagle crashed into the sea about five nautical miles off Taitung after both engines failed. The pilot ejected safely, and the fleet was grounded until early March 2025 while the Air Force investigated. That loss is why the Air Force has 65 Brave Eagles, not 66.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Taiwan&rsquo;s home-grown trainer<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Brave Eagle is the centrepiece of Taiwan&rsquo;s effort to build its own military aircraft again. Developed by AIDC with the government&rsquo;s National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology under a programme launched in 2017, it is derived from the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/aidc-f-ck-1-ching-kuo\/\">F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo<\/a> Indigenous Defense Fighter, but more than 80 percent of its components were redesigned. It is powered by two Honeywell\/ITEC F124 turbofans.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/aidc-t-5-brave-eagle-prototype-runway-2020.jpg\" alt=\"AIDC T-5 Brave Eagle prototype 11001 in red, white and blue livery rolling along the runway\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Prototype 11001 on the runway at its first-flight demonstration in June 2020.

Student pilots go from the T-34 to the Brave Eagle and then on to frontline fighters such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-16-fighting-falcon\/\">F-16V<\/a>, so a long grounding would ripple straight through the pipeline at a time when Taiwan is receiving its first F-16 Block 70s.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 8px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zdkscY_aEVY\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 24px\">Focus Taiwan on the delivery of the final two Brave Eagles in September 2026, seven weeks before the grounding.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What happens next<\/h2>\n\n<p>Nobody was hurt, and by the Air Force&rsquo;s own account the brakes have usually done their job. But a fleet-wide stand-down seven weeks after the last delivery is not the start to service life Taiwan wanted for its flagship home-grown jet. The question now is whether AIDC&rsquo;s inspections find a one-off fault or something that runs through all 65 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sources: Central News Agency (Focus Taiwan), Taipei Times, United Daily News, TaiSounds, TVBS News<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- mfsh:bottom -->\n\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"mfsh-trigger mfsh-bottom\" data-mfsh-placement=\"bottom\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><svg><use href=\"#mfsh-i-share\"\/><\/svg>Share this story<\/button>\n\n<!-- \/mfsh:bottom -->\n\n<p class=\"mf-photo-credits\" data-no-translation style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;font-style:italic;margin:6px 0 18px\">Header photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:ROCAF_T-5(1108)%E5%8B%87%E9%B7%B9%E9%AB%98%E6%95%99%E6%A9%9F.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u5ee2\u67f4\u8001\u95c6 \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\n\n\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>Why was Taiwan&rsquo;s T-5 Brave Eagle fleet grounded?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Taiwan&rsquo;s Air Force grounded all 65 T-5 Brave Eagle trainers for special inspections after one ran off the runway at Gangshan Air Force Base on 10 November 2026.
