Aircraft Appraisals

Aircraft value depends on airframe hours, avionics, and maintenance records most tools can't see. We document all of it.

Why Aircraft Need an Independent Appraisal

Aircraft valuation depends on airframe and engine hours, avionics package, maintenance and logbook history, and a specialty market with few close comparables — factors no generic valuation tool is built to weigh. An independent appraisal documents the aircraft's actual condition and market position, which is frequently required for financing and is the strongest evidence in an insurance dispute.

Aircraft: Situations Where You Need an Appraisal

Aircraft Financing

Lenders financing an aircraft purchase typically require a documented, professional appraisal to underwrite the loan.

Insurance & Total Loss Disputes

When an aviation insurer's total loss or damage offer doesn't reflect your aircraft's actual condition and equipment, we build the case to dispute it.

Estate & Partnership Settlement

An aircraft passed through an estate, or owned through a partnership being dissolved or bought out, needs a neutral, documented value.

Charitable Donation Appraisals

Donating an aircraft to a flight school, museum, or nonprofit and claiming a deduction requires a qualified written appraisal under IRS rules.
