Tejas SP-3 maiden flight successful, all eyes on Hindon......


Bengaluru: The third series production (SP-3) variant of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas had its first flight in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The flight was piloted by Air Commodore K A Muthanna (Retd), a veteran who has been associated with the project for a while now.

According to Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) sources, the first flight lasted for 15 minutes.“It took off around 8.40 am in the morning. The pilot wanted to make use of the favourable early morning weather and decided to go for it (flight) after the aircraft was cleared by various agencies. The flight lasted about 15 minutes,” an official said.

As reported by Mathrubhumi earlier, the flight was on expected lines following the completion of engine ground run, low\high speed taxi trials.

HAL is racing against the time to see whether it can push SP-3 for the 84th Air Force Day Parade at Hindon Air Force Station on October 8. It is now certain that SP-1 and SP-2 will be flying at AFS Hindon. HAL is hoping against hope to prepare SP-3 for couple of additional flights in the next two to three days.

“The painting normally takes time and we are not sure if they (HAL) will be in a position to ready the aircraft soon. Our teams from different stations have already landed here (Hindon) ahead of the parade. We have SOPs to follow and then there is a FDR (full dress rehearsal) as well,” says an IAF official.
The first flight of SP-1 was on September 1, 2014 while the SP-2 had its maiden sortie on March 23, 2016. HAL says each aircraft in the SP block will be as per their new rate of production mandate.

BENGALURU: The third series production Light Combat Aircraft, Tejas-SP3, on Wednesday took to the skies for the first time in a successful 15-minute sortie.

Sources in HAL told TOI that the first profiling of the aircraft was satisfactory and that most parameters that were to be checked were fulfilled. "The flight was restricted to only 15 minutes because of the low-hanging clouds, the initial plan was to fly for longer," a source in the LCA complex said.

Tejas-SP3 had undergone the low-speed taxi trials (LSTT) on Friday (September 23) as reported by TOI earlier, which was followed by the high-speed taxi trials (HSTT).

Sources said that two more important sorties are scheduled in the coming days, a successful completion of which are crucial before the handing over of the aircraft to the Indian Air Force (IAF).

The IAF, on July 1 this year raised the first squadron of Tejas, which became the first squadron of an indigenously developed fighter aircraft. "Although the heart (engine) of the aircraft is foreign and several other component are imported, the aircraft was completely designed and developed here, unlike any other fighter aircraft," an IAF source pointed out.
