Aircraft Appraiser - California

We perform aircraft inspections throughout California, including Northern, Central, and Southern California. Assignments are structured to accommodate lender underwriting requirements, geographic logistics, and aircraft availability.

California-based appraisal capability is often a determining factor for banks and attorneys when the subject aircraft is located within the state, regardless of lender location.

California appraisal assignments are frequently prepared for:

• Bank loan underwriting and refinancing
• Collateral review and risk assessment
• Estate and trust administration
• Divorce and litigation matters
• IRS-compliant aircraft donation reporting

Each appraisal clearly identifies its intended use and intended users to ensure compliance and defensibility.

Our California appraisal practice includes:

• High-performance piston aircraft
• Turboprop aircraft
• Light, mid-size, and large-cabin business jets

We do not provide appraisal services for commercial airliners or airline fleet assets.

California aircraft values are influenced by:

• Regional demand and buyer depth
• Aircraft configuration and maintenance status
• Damage history and repair documentation
• Market liquidity and remarketing considerations

These factors are addressed explicitly within each appraisal report, based on observed market behavior rather than generalized assumptions.

While based in California, we perform aircraft appraisals nationwide. California assignments benefit from local inspection experience combined with broader national market exposure, which is often required for lender and legal reliance.
