Forensic Aircraft Appraisals

Know the Truth Before You Buy, Sell, Finance, or Litigate an Aircraft

A standard aircraft appraisal tells you what an aircraft may be worth Our process goes beyond standard valuation reports.

A Forensic Aircraft Appraisal goes deeper. AEROMAX reviews the aircraft, records, market position, maintenance history, damage history, equipment, ownership concerns, and transaction risk to help determine whether the aircraft value is properly supported — or whether hidden issues may affect the true market value.

A Forensic Aircraft Appraisal is designed for situations where a simple value opinion is not enough.
This service is used when there are concerns involving:

  • Questionable aircraft value

  • Incomplete or missing logbooks
  • Maintenance concerns
  • Disputed condition
  • Buyer or seller disagreement
  • Insurance claims
  • Legal or financial review

We ask:

What is the aircraft really worth after the facts are reviewed?

Why This Matters

Aircraft transactions can involve serious financial risk.

An aircraft may appear attractive on the surface, but the real value can be affected by:

  • Past damage
  • Poor records
  • Deferred maintenance
  • Upcoming inspections
  • Engine or component status
  • Avionics limitations
  • Market overpricing
  • Title or ownership concerns
  • Broker or seller representations
  • Aircraft history that has not been fully disclosed

A Forensic Aircraft Appraisal helps uncover these issues before they become expensive problems.
