Makin Air Helicopters has been in Hayward for the past five years and has also established an office at the Petaluma Municipal Airport for the past year an a half. They chose Petaluma because the airport is close to the town of Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and bigger cities are located within a 50 mile radius.
Training is provided in three types of helicopter ratings:
Private, Commercial, and Instrument.
Commercial Services offered:
Electronic News Gathering, Frost Control, and Cattle Herding
Makin Air Helicopters is unique in two ways: They are the only helicopter company in the area that will train a student from private pilot through commercial pilot rating, and there are no set office hours, instead they set individual appointment times to cater to the specific needs of their client.
