Incident: Transasia AT72 at Taipei on Feb 21st 2015, engine loses power
A Transasia Avions de Transport Regional ATR-72-212A, registration B-22806 performing flight GE-507 from Taipei Songshan to Makung (Taiwan) with 20 passengers, was climbing out of Taipei's Songshan Airport when the crew received abnormal torque indications for the left hand engine (PW127) suggesting loss of engine power, stopped the climb and returned to Songshan Airport for a safe landing 19 minutes after departure.
The airline reported that the aircraft is undergoing an extensive examination even though so far no mechanical issue has been identified and the indication is believed to have been false. The passengers were taken to Makung by a replacement aircraft.
On Feb 22nd 2015 Taiwan's Civil Aviation Authority reported that the engine was working properly, the sensor system however delivered false indications. Parts of the sensor system have been replaced, examination and testing continues.

NO it didn't. Read the report.The sensor system failed reporting that the engine had a problem when in fact it was ok so no actual failure of the engine & no danger to the aircraft.You should get a job as a journalist.

Later the day Feb 6th 2015 the ASC also released an English version of the initial release detailing further that when the first master warning activated associated with the right hand engine the crew "called it out", then the left hand engine thrust lever was progressively retarded to flight idle. At 10:53:24L the condition lever was set to fuel shut off position resulting in the shut down of the left hand engine. Following several call outs to restart the left hand engine the parameters suggest the left hand engine was restarted at 10:54:20L, however, at 10:54:34L another master warning sounded, the CVR recorded unidentified sounds and both recorders stopped.
