Andre Hutchings
Director of Operations / CFI
Andre is a seasoned commercial pilot who has logged thousands of helicopter pilot-in-command hours across an impressive array of missions. Andre is a Certified Flight Instructor and currently holds a Command Pilot position with Columbia Helicopters, the world’s largest heavy lift helicopter company. He further holds certificates in single engine, twin engine and heavy lift helicopters, including the large twin rotor Boeing Chinook CH- 47D. In addition, Andre flew peacekeeping missions for the Baldwin Park Police Department. The experience he obtained during these missions combined with his industry contacts have helped LAH establish a robust training procedures manual for our Law Enforcement students.

Andre has also helped numerous Law Enforcement agencies build their own air units. In the 90’s, he pioneered cost-saving strategies that helped police departments afford air support without having to make large financial commitments. His methods allowed departments to gather useful information that went on to serve as proof that helicopter support was worth the public’s investment. Most import is his dedication to training pilots how to deliver a higher standard of service to the communities they protect.

Guillaume Maillet
Chief Pilot
Guillaume has trained countless individuals and numerous Law Enforcement officers how to become pilots. Guillaume’s passion for training people how to fly helicopters has helped LAH build the most comprehensive and industry respected professional flight training programs available.

Despite his logged hours in larger turbine helicopters, his training helicopter of choice used during our police curriculum is the R22. Guillaume believes strongly that the training instincts and habits one learns in the R22 will make them a better skilled and safer pilot in anything they move on to fly. In 2006 Guillaume join the Robinson Safety Course Team as one of the Factory Instructor.

Lars Fallman
Director of Maintenance
Lars has over 12 years experience servicing a variety of turbine and piston helicopters. In addition to his standard A&P license, he holds the highest mechanic credential awarded known as an Inspection Authorization. He further holds an impressive degree in Computer Aided Drawing (CAD), which has proven invaluable as a design tool for his many inventions. In 1994, Lars modified several civilian R22 helicopters to be used for law enforcement work. His modifications to the R22 were instrumental in positioning the R22 to be a low cost alternative for several police forces.

Between 1997 and 2004, Lars held the position of President of US Helicopters. Lars built success on his solid maintenance record by exclusively focusing his resources on the maintenance and overhauls of R22's and R44's. His attention to detail and commitment to reproducing factory quality work has earned him recognition and respect within the Southern California Robinson community. In July of 2004, Los Angeles Helicopters and US Helicopters merged to position itself as a complete service organization, and placed Lars as its Director of Maintenance to assure superior maintenance service to its customers.Meet the Los Angeles Helicopters Team!
