A Sikorsky S-92A, destined for the Uzbekistan Armed Forces, was photographed whilst on a test flight from the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation helicopter plant at Coatesville (PA) on 24 June 2021.
The new helicopter is registered N305J and according to the FAA registry it has construction number 920305. It is not known how many S-92As Uzbekistan has ordered.
On 30 March 2017, the Aviation Register of the CIS-wide Interstate Aviation Committee (AR IAC) certified the Sikorsky S-92A medium-lift helicopter along with its modifications. The AR IAC certificate effectively approved the S-92A for use in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
If you have information on how many Sikorsky's have been ordered, where they will be based and which unit will operate them, we would like to hear this at
