Owner
How much is my aircraft worth? That is a valid question, especially in today's rapidly changing used aircraft market. Aircraft values are constantly changing and for the past decade, the trend has been one of increasing value. Stay current with the appreciation of your aircraft and don't get caught under-insured. Conversely, don't pay unnecessary taxes because the local government overvalued your aircraft. A Certified Aircraft Appraisal is an invaluable tool to be used for tax court, bank collateral, estate planning, and when donating an aircraft for tax purposes. The peace-of-mind obtained from a Certified Aircraft Appraisal is quite inexpensive compared to the cost of overpaying taxes or insurance settlement based on an under-insured policy.
