Aircraft Appraisals

AAMI provides full aircraft appraisals establishing base and current market values with adjustments reflecting actual maintenance condition. Appraisals include physical inspection, logbook review, and maintenance assessment determining accurate asset value. Current market valuations consider actual operational condition and maintenance history.

Appraisals support aircraft purchases, financing decisions, insurance assessment, and asset management. The company appraises all aircraft types from business jets to large commercial airliners.

Aircraft Parts Inventory Appraisals

AAMI specializes in comprehensive aircraft parts inventory appraisals for any size and type of inventory. Valuations establish current market value, orderly liquidation value, and forced liquidation value with net values considering operating costs, commissions, and auction fees.

AAMI maintains proprietary database of aircraft parts sales and purchase history compiled over two decades. Inventory valuations utilize actual sales comparisons across multiple parameters. Demand profiles for each part are calculated considering seven years of sales and usage data.

This methodology allows AAMI to value individual parts while considering realistic market demand and absorption capacity.

Appraisal Methodology

AAMI utilizes proprietary database of actual sales and purchase history to track part market values. Inventories are cross-checked with sales comparisons under multiple parameters ensuring accuracy. Current market values calculated from previous seven years of sales and usage data compiled into demand profiles for each part.

The company maintains up-to-date market research and technical data on all aircraft, engines, and parts. AAMI regularly analyzes its parts database identifying specific part trends and relationships to similar parts. This comprehensive approach ensures valuations reflect realistic market conditions and absorption rates.

Valuation Options

AAMI offers two USPAP-defined appraisal types: desktop appraisals (sight-unseen valuations based on client-provided data) and full appraisals (including varying degrees of physical inspection and maintenance review).

Both appraisal types include general market overview and specified market analysis for the asset type. Reports are tailored to individual client needs while maintaining perspective on worldwide aviation industry conditions.

Additional Services

AAMI provides aircraft surveys including physical inspection reports and logbook audits for verification purposes, typically for lender requirements.
