APPRAISAL PRICING
Desktop Appraisals do not include physical inspection of the aircraft or associated technical records, however they do take into consideration maintenance status, installed equipment, and configuration. A desktop appraisal factors in the current maintenance, component, and engine status, the installed equipment & avionics, plus any other relevant characteristics affecting value. We study the market to determine what other like aircraft have sold for, are selling for, and we measure these comparable aircraft to ultimately determine the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the aircraft being appraised.
Additionally, we offer supplemental opinions, such as Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV), Net Orderly Liquidation Value (NOLV), residual value forecasts, and hypothetical scenarios. Please inquire for any special requirements you may have for your appraisal needs.
Please see below general desktop appraisal pricing organized by aircraft category. This list is not exhaustive; we can appraise most any commercial helicopter in a variety of configurations, and with all approved powerplant installations. The pricing for each appraisal can range depending on the specifics of the assignment requested by the client, and the degree of research required for the project as follows:
