A Formosa Airlines Dornier 228 on a scheduled flight from Green Island landed at Taitung with its gear still up because the crew skipped the approach checklist. The aircraft slid on its belly for a short distance and was written off, but all 19 occupants walked away. The same aircraft had an earlier gear-up landing at the same airport in April 1993.
