HAL Chetak (Alouette III)
The Chetak has two seat side-by-side seating in cockpit. Main cabin can carry up to four passengers. A bit larger and more refined than the Cheetah, with a fully faired fuselage structure.
Primarily in service in the training and light transport roles. The HAL Chetak is scheduled to be replaced by HAL's Advanced Light Helicopter. An option remains to re-engine the HAL Chetak with the Turbomeca TM 333-2B engine.
A HAL Chetak used for air-sea rescue off the Saurashtra coast. A few chetaks had been equipped with the floats to enable rescue work as well as transporation to the Oil Rigs at Bombay High.
Chetak BZ798, seen below in a Green Military scheme has since been updated to the standard IAF Grey. This helicopter was on display at the AFA Dundigal, bought here from HTS Hakimpet.
