Our Mission

To deliver unparalleled appraisal value reports to financial institutions, as well as private buyers and sellers of aircraft, on a global scale.

Standards & Requirements

Impeccable Standards & Requirements

CAAA appraisers are required to be active in aircraft sales in order to have a real understanding of factors that affect market value, such as popularity of the various aircraft models, typical time on the market for a particular make and model having certain specifications, and other undesirable or desirable factors that aircraft buyers consider that are not covered in VREF, aircraft bluebook, and professional appraiser's software.

Only a Certified Appraiser who is actively engaged in aircraft sales will understand and consider all factors that affect "Fair Market Value". To this date, there has never been a dispute of the Fair Market Value calculated by a CAAA Appraiser by any Certified Appraiser from any other Appraisal Organization. Our Certified Aircraft Appraisers always deliver precise aircraft values.
