AI Summary (NQ-processed)
The National Airborne Service Corps (NASC) announced on the 19th that it will appeal a court ruling regarding a pilot's dismissal. The case stems from an incident on April 7, 2020, when a captain, surnamed Wang, crashed helicopter NA-103 during an emergency training exercise due to operational violations, causing approximately NT$324 million in damages. The NASC dismissed him with two major demerits according to regulations, but the pilot filed an administrative lawsuit. In a retrial, the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court ruled in the pilot's favor, citing management deficiencies at the NASC. The NASC disagreed, insisting the primary cause of the accident was the pilot's personal violations and errors in judgment, and will appeal to uphold flight safety and discipline.
