Navy helicopter ditches off Mumbai; crew recovered safely.
This marks the first-ever serious acc/ditching of Indian Navy's ALH since commissioning -- an unblemished record of > 2 decades.
Mumbai (INS Shikra) is home to the latest #ALHMk3MR.
Will be following this closely.

All IN & CG ALH are equipped with Emergency Flotation Gear (EFG) for safely ditching in water in case of critical emergency. The EFGs are auto-inflated on water contact, with an emergency override should auto fail. All crew are given exhaustive HUE training at WSTF, Kochi.
Initial reports & pics indicate helicopter floating upright in calm sea on EFGs that operated to intended purpose. Good returns on all those hours of diligent training (simulator, on-type, HUET). BoI must dig deep. Crucial safety info must be shared with all users, esp ICG.
