THE AIRCRAFT APPRAISAL PROCESS
Canada-Aircraft-Appraisal (EAC) appraisals are based on today’s market values and retails prices, it will always indicate the lowest and highest market values of the market.
In the process of an aircraft appraisal we have to consider the following points : airframe total time, year, engine time, overhauled or factory engine, propeller, avionics, additional equipment such as floats, stol kit, conditions, etc. When it comes to the interior and exterior, if we don’t see the aircraft we give no value, otherwise we appraise according to its condition.
When an aircraft accrues more than 4000 hours on the airframe, the basic price should be adjust according to the specific aircraft average flying time per year which gives us a new base value.
For the appraisal of a sophisticated aircraft such as cabin class piston and turbo prop, we have to see the aircraft and review all the logbooks and components. For the maintenance part, we retain the services of a licensed mechanic.
Usually, the highest value is not the retail price but it is the highest price a client should pay for the aircraft. The lowest value is the price to inventory the aircraft. In the appraisal a margin or error between 3% to 5% (+ or -) can be figured. All our appraisals are backed up by the market where similar aircraft are offered for sale. Our aircraft appraisals are always in US dollars and can be converted to Canadian dollars if asked.
