Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council believes that the pilots' non-compliance of standard operating procedure was to blame for the TransAsia plane accident that killed nearly 50 people in 2014.

The plane crashed near Magong Airport, in a residential area, killing 48, while injuring fifteen others.

The Safety Council report shows the crew unintentionally flew the plane into an area with limited awareness of the aircraft's proximity to the terrain.

The report also says there was heavy rain at Magong Airport at the time of the incident.

The report has also made a series of safety recommendations to the TransAsia airline company, including conducting a thorough review of its safety system and crew training programs, as well as reviewing and improving its internal compliance.
