HAL Working With Indian Army To Fix Issues In Dhruv Helicopters

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. on Sunday said it is working closely with the Indian Army to ascertain the root cause of some glitches in the Dhruv advanced light helicopter. Clarifying on a Hindustan Times report that said the Army has issued orders for a fleet-wide one-time check to ensure flight safety, HAL said the article presents a one-sided view with misleading commentary. "One-Time Check (OTC) is a routine maintenance practice issued subsequent to a defect, in this case, of the Tail Drive Shaft (TDS). HAL is working closely with the Indian Army and has deputed expert teams to ascertain the root cause," the company said in a statement.
