Aircraft Appraisal Cost – Find Out The

Expenses For Different Appraisals


The aircraft appraisal cost differs at three levels, which we will
discuss in the following.

How much does an aircraft cost? What is the market demand rate
now? How can one evaluate the cost without a visit? People draft
common questions in their curious minds to ask experts for know-
how or familiarity with the aircraft world. Not sure to handle a dozen
exhaustive questions though, we would like to cover a few important
ones about aircraft appraisal cost at different stages.

Pricing Digest Value

Like a textbook reference of prices, the Vref appraisals go a long


way for major transactions. However, the pricing digest doesn’t
accurately depict demand-supply fluctuations, true value upgrades,
or other valuable data. What does that mean? It means if you are
buying/selling a large item like an aircraft or jet, you can’t be relying
on fixed tariffs. You need to step up.
Desktop Appraisal

One of the ideal ways to evaluate an aircraft without on-site inspection is


that of a desktop appraisal. Here, a certified appraiser has a look at fleet
data, market data, and sales data to assess the aircraft’s current value.
They will want to know the maintenance schedule program, future
upgrade requirements, and other valuable information like logbooks and
specifications to provide an accurate figure. The companies offering
these services may charge $600-700 for appraisal.

On-site Appraisal

The appraiser goes on-site to access the aircraft’s engine logs,


maintenance logs, and evaluate with a keen eye to provide exact value.
Since a personal visit from the professional of an aircraft appraisal firm
goes into activation, it may cost typically between $2000 and $3000.
