We are the Bay Area's RHC Certified Service Center
Golden Gate Helicopters is proud to be a Robinson Helicopter Company Certified Service Center since 2006, offering comprehensive maintenance for your Robinson equipment in the San Francisco Bay Area. We offer several levels of maintenance service, from full aircraft management to emergency remote repair.
Our most comprehensive service is an integrated, meticulous maintenance program (with documentation provided privately to you online) that is the next best thing to having someone manage your aircraft. We'll send you alerts when your service is due, and we offer you discounts on parts for choosing us as your regular maintenance provider. In return, we'll promise you first-class service and premium scheduling so that your aircraft is down for maintenance at the absolute minimum.
We welcome inquiries on both routine and unexpected maintenance requests, and we can provide remote service for your helicopter if unexpected maintenance issues have grounded your equipment elsewhere.
Our helicopter maintenance facility is staffed by Robinson-trained mechanics and supervised by an IA (Aircraft Inspector) with decades of experience. Most routine 100-hr inspections have a 1-day turn-around, and we can even arrange to have your aircraft returned cleaned, waxed, and shining, if you give us advance notice. Note: we recommend that you do not travel with your logbooks in the helicopter; please overnight your logbooks to us at our Hayward address separately before you arrive, and we will overnight them back to you upon completion.

Thanks to M Ian Farmer, a GGH pilot, for these pictures of Scott Franges, GGH's Director of Maintenance. An IA with 30 years in the business, the last decade running a helicopter-only shop, Scotty embodies GGH: experienced, knowledgeable and happy to share it, perfectionist, technology-saavy, cheerful, and meticulous.
