Amid the growing strength of women officers in the Indian Air Force, the force is now planning to induct female pilots into the Light Combat Helicopter fleet.
"The fleet will have women officers flying the Light Combat Helicopters," IAF officials said when asked if some pilots would be flying the choppers named Prachand by Defence Minister.
The aircraft was inducted into the service recently on October 3, and 10 choppers would be inducted in the near future.
The women officers are already flying the ALH Dhruv and other helicopters in the fleet. They would be flying the LCH fleet also and women officers are in the process of being identified for this, they said.
