Certified Desktop Appraisal
This appraisal conforms to the high ethical standards of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) requirements.
This type of appraisal is used to inform an aircraft owner, buyer, or seller of the current market value of a certain aircraft. This process is more accurate than a Book Value since the “actual condition” of the aircraft will be considered. It has a substantially lower cost than a Certified Appraisal because the appraiser does not visit the aircraft or helicopter.
You are responsible for providing and verifying the accuracy of the data. Aeromax, USA will provide a worksheet for gathering the required data and instructions on how to “assess the condition of major components”. Please print a copy of the Appraisal Worksheet and a copy of the Grading instructions below. After completing the worksheet fax a copy to: 830-990-1000 or e-mail a copy to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
When received, the data will be checked for accuracy and completeness. The data will then be processed using the same software and databases that are used for a Certified Appraisal. This Desktop Appraisal is similar to a Certified Appraisal with the exception that since the client has provided the data, and we have not visited the aircraft, the report cannot be NAAA certified, however it is (USPAP) certified.
A Desktop Appraisal has limited usefulness and cannot be used for tax or legal disputes. It is however, an inexpensive way to develop a fair estimate of actual market value based on aircraft condition.
