Russian Helicopters to Refuse Service After Afghani Mi-17V-5 Overhauled in Slovakia

: Sep 18, 2018 - : 2:08 am

Russian Helicopters (RH) has disclaimed responsibility for further ‘safe operation’ of one Mi-17V-5 helicopter of the Defense Ministry of Afghanistan after Kabul got it overhauled by the Slovak Aircraft repair company LOTN.

 

“Due to the received information on the unauthorized overhaul of one Mi-17V-5 helicopter of the Defense Ministry of Afghanistan by the Slovak Aircraft repair company LOTN, JSC “Russian Helicopters” in the name of the designer (JSC “Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant”) and the manufacturer (PJSC “Kazan Helicopters”) disclaims all liability for the further safe operation of this rotorcraft and has good reason to refuse to provide service support for this helicopter’s operation.

 

Moreover, the overhaul was carried out under the repair/overhaul documentation developed by LOTN without the participation and supervision of the designer and manufacturer.  Updated overhaul and design documentation for the military-transport Mi-17V-5 helicopter, spare parts and group kits for overhaul were never supplied to the aircraft repair company in question.

 

JSC “Russian Helicopters” will notify all Russian and international agencies and entities concerned on  the enrollment of the Slovak Aircraft repair company LOTN on the list of aircraft repair facilities performing unauthorized overhaul of military-transport rotorcraft of Mi-17V-5 type.
