The squadron was formed by order from December 17, 1951, on February 1, 1952, as part of the 7th Military district. It was equipped with various training and liaison aircraft. The squadron was transformed into the Liaison Squadron of 7th Air Command (Serbo-Croatian: Eskadrila za vezu 7. vazduhoplovne komande / Ескадрила за везу 7. ваздухопловне команде) by 1959.[1]
After April 1961 and the Drvar reorganization of the Air Force, new type of designation system began to be used to identify squadrons, so the Liaison Squadron of 7th Air Command became the 892nd Liaison Aviation Squadron.[2]
It was equipped with domestic liaison Ikarus Kurir aircraft. With the 7th Air Command being disbanded in 1964, the squadron was reattached to the 7th Military district. The squadron was disbanded on July 17, 1966, by order from February 17 of same year, but its numeration has remained in reserve.

By order from March 1, 1985, it was designated as the 892nd Helicopter Reconnaissance and Liaison Squadron. Due to the 1988 reorganization of the field armies of the Yugoslav People's Army, the 893rd Squadron was attached to the 896th Helicopter Reconnaissance and Liaison Squadron as its helicopter flight.[3]
