The assembling process of recently bought Turbine Robinson R66 Helicopter belonging to Prabhu Helicopter Pvt Ltd is in the final stage at the company’s hangar in Pokhara Airport. As per the information, the assembling work will require two more weeks for the completion and then the chopper will go through a test flight.
The company is also on the process of acquiring registration number for the newly arrived R66 helicopter. Preliminary information suggests the helicopter has been assigned with the registration ‘9N-AMJ’ however; the official confirmation is yet to be disclosed.
The helicopter after the accomplishment of assembling must pass the CofA (Certificate of Airworthiness) test which will be carried out under the supervision of Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). The company will operate the new helicopter two weeks after the certification of airworthiness and completion of other registration formalities.
