In an official press release issued by the HAL on Thursday, the clearance was granted based on the recommendations of the Defect Investigation (DI) Committee, which looked into the cause of the January 5 crash in Porbandar. "A time-bound plan for the phased resumption of flying has been worked out with the users," the release said.
