Frequently Asked
Questions

Appraisals
What's the difference between a full and desktop appraisal?
+

A full appraisal includes an on-site inspection and complete records review. A desktop appraisal relies on documented logs and market data — faster and lower cost, ideal for financing or portfolio updates.

How long does an aircraft appraisal take?
+

Most appraisals are delivered within five business days. Desktop valuations can move faster, while full physical inspections depend on aircraft location and access to records.

How much does an aircraft appraisal cost?
+

Pricing depends on aircraft type, appraisal scope, and turnaround. Reach out with your make, model, and tail number and we'll provide a firm quote — no surprises.

Are your appraisals accepted by banks and insurance companies?
+

Yes. Every valuation is USPAP-compliant and documented to hold up with lenders, insurers, and legal teams — that's the standard we build every report to.

Who typically requests an appraisal — buyers, sellers, or lenders?
+

All of the above. We regularly work with buyers doing due diligence, sellers pricing a listing, and banks, insurers, and attorneys who need a defensible, independent valuation.

Consultations
What does an aviation consultation cover?
+

Pre-purchase guidance, due diligence support, operating cost projections, and market positioning advice — whatever stage of ownership you're navigating.

Do I need to be buying or selling to book a consultation?
+

No. Owners weighing a fleet decision, first-time buyers still defining their mission, and anyone who just wants an independent second opinion are all welcome.

How is a consultation different from a full appraisal?
+

A consultation is advisory — we talk through your situation and options. An appraisal is a formal, documented valuation. Many clients start with a consultation before deciding if a full appraisal is needed.

Can you help me decide which aircraft fits my mission?
+

Yes — that's one of the most common reasons clients call us. We'll walk through range, payload, runway requirements, and budget to narrow the field before you shop.

How do I book a consultation?
+

Reach out through our contact page with a bit of background on what you're trying to figure out, and we'll set up time to talk it through.

Aircraft
What aircraft categories does The Jet Guys cover?
+

Everything from light jets and turboprops to super-midsize and ultra-long-range heavies. If it's flying private, we've likely sourced, appraised, or managed one.

Can I compare specs across different aircraft on your site?
+

Yes. Our fleet pages list seats, range, and cruise speed side by side so you can compare models before reaching out.

Do you only work with the aircraft listed on your site?
+

No — the fleet pages cover the most commonly requested models, but our sourcing and appraisal work extends to virtually any business jet or turboprop on the market.

How current is the aircraft information on your site?
+

Specs are kept up to date with manufacturer data. For a specific tail number's actual condition and history, that's what our appraisal and due diligence process is for.

I don't see the model I'm interested in — can you still help?
+

Absolutely. Reach out with the make and model and we'll tell you exactly how we can help, whether that's appraisal, acquisition, or general guidance.

Press & News
Where can I find The Jet Guys in the press?
+

We're regularly featured in industry publications and market reports — check our Press & News section for the latest coverage and mentions.

Can I interview someone from The Jet Guys for a story?
+

Yes. Reach out through our contact page with your outlet and topic, and we'll connect you with the right person on our team.

Do you publish market reports or industry data?
+

Yes, we publish market reports and insights drawn from real transaction and appraisal data — not just recycled industry news.

Can I republish or reference your content?
+

Reach out first — we're generally happy to be quoted or referenced with proper attribution, but let's coordinate before you publish.

How do I stay updated on Jet Guys news?
+

Follow our Resources hub, where we post new guides, reports, and press mentions as they happen.

Resources
What kind of content will I find in the Aircraft Resources hub?
+

Guides on charter costs, aircraft comparisons, ownership and acquisition insights, and the latest private aviation trends — written to help you make informed decisions, not to sell you anything.

How often is new content published?
+

We publish new guides and industry reports regularly, drawing on real transaction and operating experience rather than recycled industry news.

Can I use these resources if I'm not a current client?
+

Yes. Every guide and report is free to read, whether you're actively working with us or just researching your options.

Do you cover both charter and aircraft ownership topics?
+

Both. You'll find charter cost breakdowns and travel guides alongside deeper content on acquisitions, appraisals, and aircraft management.

I have a specific question that isn't covered here — who do I ask?
+

Reach out directly and we'll get you a straight answer, or point you to the right guide. Our team is happy to walk through anything in more detail.

Destinations
Which destinations can I charter to with The Jet Guys?
+

We fly on demand to virtually any airport worldwide, with especially high demand to Miami, New York, Scottsdale, the Maldives, Dubai, and Doha. If there's a runway, we can get you there.

How far in advance should I book a flight to a popular destination?
+

Peak periods — holidays, major events, ski season — fill up fast, so we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead when possible. Off-peak charters can often be arranged within 24 to 48 hours.

Do you handle international destinations like Dubai and the Maldives?
+

Yes. We coordinate permits, customs, and ground logistics for international charters, so you can fly to destinations like Dubai, Doha, and the Maldives without navigating the paperwork yourself.

Can I fly to a smaller or less common destination?
+

Absolutely. One of the advantages of private charter is access to thousands of airports major airlines don't serve. Tell us where you're headed and we'll find the right aircraft to get you there.

What's included when I book a flight to one of these destinations?
+

Every charter includes the aircraft and crew, ground coordination, and a dedicated point of contact from booking through landing. Catering, ground transportation, and other add-ons can be arranged on request.
