FINANCIAL CONSULTING
AIRCRAFT APPRAISAL
An aircraft value assignment should identify the asset, valuation date, purpose, intended users, basis and standard of value, available records, inspection depth, assumptions, methodology, limitations, and responsible professional.
A desktop analysis uses specified information without verifying physical condition. A records-supported assignment considers the agreed maintenance records; an inspected assignment adds a defined physical inspection. The final report states the scope actually completed.
No report should be described as certified, independent, or compliant with a named standard unless those conditions and the responsible professional’s credentials are documented. Legal, tax, accounting, insurance, airworthiness, records-completeness, and title opinions are outside scope unless expressly provided by qualified parties.
