SERVICES
Aircraft Appraisals
We provide our clients with timely, comprehensive and accurate aircraft appraisals that suit their needs. Novatlas Aviation specializes in corporate jet, helicopter and turboprop aircraft appraisals in Canada, the US and Europe. Novatlas Aviation’s appraisal reports comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and/or the International Valuation Standards (IVS). We are certified as senior appraiser MTS / Aircraft by the American Society of Appraisers (ASA). Our appraisal services include:
On-site Appraisals
On-site appraisals are the most reliable because they involve a direct examination of the aircraft and its records by the appraiser. This process includes a detailed physical inspection of the aircraft's condition, equipment, and maintenance history, along with a thorough market analysis and a sales comparison approach that adjusts values based on differences with comparable aircraft. The appraisal report, which includes photos and videos, is usually completed soon after the on-site visit.
Desktop Appraisals
Desktop appraisals rely on information like aircraft specifications, equipment lists, maintenance records, and photos provided by the client or third parties, without an on-site physical examination by the appraiser. While these reports still offer details on the aircraft's condition, market trends, and value using a sales comparison approach, they require making numerous assumptions and are subject to limiting conditions, although they comply with USPAP or IVS standards.
Future Value Forecast
Understanding the future value of an aircraft is crucial for lenders and lessors. To estimate residual values, we analyze historical data, assess current market conditions and trends, and apply advanced statistical modeling techniques.
Aircraft Sales
Novatlas Aviation helps maximize your aircraft's value and minimize time on the market. This process involves understanding your reasons for selling, your time-frame, and evaluating factors that influence the sales price. These factors include market conditions, unique attributes of the aircraft, and its positioning in the market.
