What your aircraft is worth — not what we'd like you to hear.
A valuation is only useful if it's honest. We price against comparable completed sales, tell you the range and the reasoning behind it, and charge nothing for it. If the number argues against selling right now, that's part of the answer.
An inflated number costs you the sale.
The oldest trick in aircraft brokerage is the flattering valuation: quote a seller a number they love, win the mandate, then spend months walking the price back down while the aircraft goes stale on the market. By the time it sells, it sells for less than an honest figure would have.
We don't work that way, and the reason is structural — we're paid a success fee by you on completion, not a listing fee for taking the mandate. A number we can't defend to a buyer helps neither of us.
So the valuation you get is the one we'd defend across the table: grounded in what comparable aircraft actually sold for, with the reasoning shown, including the parts that argue against your price.
The model matters less than the file.
Two aircraft of the same type can be worth very different numbers. These are what separate them — and where preparing the file first pays for itself.
Records quality
Complete, well-kept logbooks and documentation move the number more than almost anything. A gap in the records is a discount in the price.
Engine programme status
Time since overhaul, TBO remaining and whether the engines are on a programme. A buyer prices the next overhaul into their offer — so should you.
Damage history
Past damage and the quality of the repair. Disclosed and documented is survivable; discovered at inspection is not.
Total time & age
Airframe hours and calendar age set the baseline, but they're the start of the valuation, not the whole of it.
Inspection status
Where the aircraft sits in its inspection cycle. A fresh annual is worth real money to a buyer who won't have to fund one.
Equipment & avionics
Panel, mandates met and useful upgrades. Some add value; some a buyer simply expects. We'll tell you which is which.
Against sales, not listings.
Advertised prices tell you what sellers hope to get. They're the easiest data to find and the least useful, because nobody knows how long that number has been sitting there or how far it will fall before it closes.
We value against comparable completed sales — what similar aircraft actually closed at, adjusted for the differences that move the number.
It's more work than pulling asking prices off a listings site, and it's the only version that survives contact with a real buyer. When your aircraft goes to market priced this way, the offers come in near the number instead of far below it.
A valuation in four steps, at no cost.
Tell us the aircraft
Type, serial, hours and the basics. An NDA first if you'd prefer — nothing is shared without your say-so.
We pull comparables
Recent completed sales of similar aircraft, adjusted for condition, equipment and the drivers above.
You get a range
A defensible range with the reasoning behind it — not a single flattering figure — and an honest read on timing.
You decide
Sell now, prepare the file first, or hold. No obligation either way, and no charge for the valuation.

A free, no-obligation valuation under an NDA — and an honest word on whether now is the time to sell.
A valuation is an orientation, not a guarantee of sale price. The final number depends on inspection results, records and the market at the time of sale.
