Whole Aircraft Appraisals
A certified valuation of your whole aircraft — completed as a full, on-site inspection or a desktop-only review, backed by complete records and current market data.
Why Choose The Jet Guys For Your Whole Aircraft Appraisal
A whole aircraft appraisal establishes the market value of an aircraft owned by a single party, and can be completed either as a full, on-site inspection or a desktop-only review — whichever fits your timeline and purpose. As an ASA-Accredited appraiser with 27 years in business aviation, Brad Searls delivers certified, USPAP-compliant reports that hold up with lenders, insurers, attorneys, and the IRS. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just a defensible number you can act on.

Choose the right depth for your needs.
A full appraisal includes a physical, on-site inspection of the airframe, engines, interior, and avionics. A desktop appraisal relies on documented logs, records, and current market data without an on-site visit — faster and lower cost when a physical inspection isn't required. We'll help you determine which fits your situation.

We read every page
of the logbooks.
Damage history, incomplete logbooks, deferred maintenance, and upcoming inspections all affect value. We review airframe, engine, and avionics records in detail to confirm airworthiness status and flag anything that impacts the appraisal.

We compare against
the real market.
Using live data from JETNET and other industry sources, we benchmark the aircraft against comparable sales, current listings, and fleet trends, so the valuation reflects what buyers are actually paying today.
