The Kazan Helicopter Plant, together with representatives from Rosaviatsiya, initiated an inspection of the tail rotor shafts of Ansat helicopters. During the inspection, two tail rotor shafts were sent for repair, and at least one more requires additional inspection.
The agency noted that these measures do not imply an actual halt to flights of this type of helicopter.
Rosaviatsiya emphasized that conducting visual inspections of the helicopter's tail rotor shafts is a standard practice for preventing aviation incidents, aimed at improving flight safety.
Operators have currently inspected more than 70% of the aircraft. Many operators, including the largest operator of Ansat helicopters, the National Sanitary Aviation Service, have not found any traces of corrosion on the tail rotor shafts based on the inspection results.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the first TVS-2MS aircraft was delivered to Bashkiria to modernize the small aviation fleet.
