Bangalore: Efforts will be made to get HAL's Advance Light Helicopter (ALH-Dhruv) certified by US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the near future, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh today said.
The FAA certification would enable HAL to export ALH-Dhruv, which they were unable to do because Indian certification was not accepted worldwide.
The indigenous chopper had already received the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) certification in 2003.
Inaugurating FAA-Asia Pacific bilateral partners' meeting hosted by the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) here, Singh also said that a mechanism needs to be evolved to benefit the bilateral countries involved in such agreements so that they could export or import aeronautical parts mutually.
