Rolls Royce Made The Designation In December
After completing a thorough application process which included
a background check, site visit, and interview with the Rolls-Royce
Regional Manager and a local Rolls-Royce representative, Los
Angeles Helicopters was awarded one of only eleven Rolls-Royce
RR300 Service Centers worldwide. LAH was the first repair station
so designated in the United States.
"Rolls-Royce is proud to have Los Angeles Helicopters as part of
our RR300 Service Center network," said Mark Thompson, Rolls-Royce
Helicopter Maintenance Network Manager. "We are focused on giving
our operators the best options for RR300 maintenance and know LAH
will offer the excellent support and customer service our customers
expect."
Rolls-Royce requires their repair centers to be an approved Part
145 Repair Station, have the most-up-to-date tools and inventory on
hand, as well as a “clean room” for all engine repairs.
Most importantly, Rolls-Royce requires any maintenance engineer who
works on the RR300 engine to have attended a week long training
course at their Indianapolis, Indiana facility.
RR300 Engine
LAH, Director of Maintenance, Lars Fallman attended one of the
first RR300 courses and had this to say. “I am very impressed
with the course and the new RR300 engine. I believe it to be the
perfect fit with the Robinson R66.”
LAH is an FAA approved Part 145 Repair Station, Robinson Service
Center, and has been a Robinson Dealer for the last five years. LAH
provides maintenance repair to private owners, law enforcement
agencies, as well as other local flight schools. President of LAH,
Kimberly Orahoske states, “we look forward to our partnership
with Rolls-Royce and believe this will provide many new
opportunities as the Robinson R66 increases in popularity and
sales.”
