4 crashes for a fleet size of 150. ALH has 17 crashes for a fleet size of 300Fking import lobby is already running articles in NDTV saying V5 is very safe. Where’s this benefit of the doubt when an ALH crashes?
ALH has actually proven itself ridiculously crash-safe and survivable. Rarely does anyone die if a ALH crashes
Also you wouldn’t think it but there’s ~2X the number of ALH in service as V5s yet the latter crash far more regularly and almost always take all onboard
This is not a comparison of ALH vs. Mi-17 or AW101. AW101 is specially made for this purpose, ofc it will be better. ALH, debatable.Fking import lobby is already running articles in NDTV saying V5 is very safe. Where’s this benefit of the doubt when an ALH crashes?

Most of the time helos operate VFR basically look out and avoid terrain visually (yes they have onboard systems to aide) so if cloud base is low they’ll have to operate below thatCrashed 4 km from my home. The truth is known but cannot be made public at this juncture. CCS meet soon.
I don't know why the fuk the chopper was given the go-ahead to fly into the hills when the weather was pretty bad. It's covered with mist and drizzles much of the time.
Bottom line: Poor visibility could have been the cause of the accident.
Altitude of crash site - 5000 ft. Near Kateri village. Thickly forested. The chopper was seen flying way lower than usual. Clearance 7000 ft but flying far lower.
Military reforms didn't stopped after Manohar Parikkar's demise.Any idea on what will happen to military reforms?
Same with Guru KalamDied on his way to address college students. There are no words.
Bhai mere galti se ho jata he.
I never disputed that. I said they were going to be the most experienced in the HU and specifically screened. Still line pilots@abingdonboy what did I say ? The pilots who fly VVIP missions are Sqn COs only.
We should compare based on number of hours of flight.4 crashes for a fleet size of 150. ALH has 17 crashes for a fleet size of 300
Yes, was confirmed by his family relative somewhere around 3 o clock itself, didn't think it was appropriate to post though.Known long ago but it's official now. IAF confirms both CDS Bipin Rawat and his wife Madhulika no more.
RIP
yes I agree that there have been less fatalities in ALH crashes but comparing the safety ratio in terms of flight hours , Mi17V5 still triumphs ALHWe should compare based on number of hours of flight.
Also to be compared is survival rate from those crashes.
