USPAP-compliant valuations trusted by banks, lenders, and discerning aircraft owners worldwide. Zero disputes on record, ever.
Whether you're buying, selling, financing, insuring, or managing an estate, an accurate and defensible aircraft valuation is not optional. It is essential.
Banks and lenders require USPAP-compliant appraisals as the definitive documentation for determining an aircraft's true collateral value. Our reports are accepted by every major financial institution.
Don't overpay or undervalue your aircraft. A certified appraisal gives you an independent, defensible fair market value that protects your position in every negotiation.
Accurate hull value appraisals ensure you carry the right insurance coverage. An outdated or inaccurate valuation could leave you significantly underinsured.
For estate attorneys and CPAs, a certified appraisal provides a defensible valuation for equitable distributions, tax obligations, and regulatory compliance.
Whether it's a donation, divorce settlement, or tax dispute, a CAAA appraisal provides the documentation that stands up to IRS scrutiny and legal challenges.
Corporations and government agencies rely on certified appraisals for balance sheet reporting, asset management, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Most appraisal organizations let anyone pay a fee and join. They appraise real estate, machinery, jewelry, and sometimes aircraft. Their appraisers often rely entirely on software to generate values, with no real-world understanding of what actually drives aircraft pricing.
CAAA is different. Our members cannot simply join. Every CAAA appraiser is a Senior Certified Aircraft Appraiser who was recommended, vetted, and voted in through a rigorous screening process. They are all actively engaged in aircraft sales, meaning they understand the real factors that affect fair market value, including time on market, buyer demand, desirability of specific configurations, and dozens of variables that no software captures.
The result? 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 appraisals serve as the definitive standard for aircraft valuation across every segment of the aviation industry.
