Certified Appraisals

Our certified appraisals provide reliable aircraft valuations. We use our industry experience and current market knowledge to assess your aircraft's worth accurately. These detailed appraisals are suitable for major transactions, legal matters, or when you need a thorough valuation.

Desktop Appraisals

We offer quick desktop appraisals when time is short or an on-site inspection isn't needed. Using our aircraft database and market data, we provide reliable value estimates without a physical inspection. This option works well for initial assessments or quick decision-making.

Onsite Appraisal Report

Our onsite appraisal report offers a thorough aircraft evaluation. We inspect the aircraft's condition, modifications, and maintenance history in person. This approach ensures an accurate and detailed valuation, considering all value-affecting factors. Onsite reports are ideal for major transactions or unique aircraft.
