The Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) has denied information about a ban on the operation of Mi-8T helicopters for commercial passenger transportation.
The information that a decision may be made by the end of March to ban the use of Mi-8T helicopters for commercial passenger transportation does not correspond to reality.
No decisions have been made at the moment. If restrictions on the operating mode are approved, the implementation of the ban on the use of Mi-8T will be gradual.
Currently, an analysis is underway of the need to restrict the operation of Mi-8T for commercial passenger transportation. The advantages and disadvantages of such a decision are being assessed. If it is possible to mitigate potential risks for the safe operation of the Mi-8T, this should be done, but in a very balanced way.
Rosaviatsiya promised to take into account the needs of regional administrations and their residents in transportation by helicopters of this type. The problem is that some regional commercial operators of Mi-8T have not updated their fleet and continue to operate them. This leads to air incidents.
Few people are investing in normal service today - the machines are operated literally to the point of wear. Therefore, their replacement in the fleets of airlines is a matter of time.
Mi-8 is a Soviet multi-purpose helicopter developed at the Mil Design Bureau. It is the most mass-produced twin-engine helicopter in the world. The rotorcraft was put into operation in 1965.
The take-off weight of the helicopter is 13 thousand kg, the maximum speed is 250 km/h with a flight range of 950 km. The Mi-8 is equipped with two TV3-117 engines.
Earlierwww1.ru reported that Mi-8 helicopters werespotted on the latest Iranian UAV carrier ship "Shahid Bahman Bagheri".
