What we do

This objective is accomplished through an on - site examination of the subject aircraft, an inventory of the aircraft's equipment and an analysis of its maintenance records. In addition, the current market conditions are examined along with current selling prices of aircraft to arrive at a final opinion of value.
how Plane Data, Inc. is different
Service - Plane Data, Inc. does much more than appraise aircraft. We help our clients solve their problems such as addressing details involved with financing an aircraft, helping a client find the right aircraft at the right price or by answering questions and providing advice. Since 1992, Plane Data, Inc. has been solving customer problems and providing excellent service to our clients. Let us help you.
Integrity - Plane Data, Inc. adheres to a published set of standards and ethics throughout all aspects of our business dealings. Some may say that standards and ethics have little value until there is a problem but the argument could be made that without a published set of standards and ethics it is unclear what an individual or company stands for or how they conduct business. Every client should understand the ethical behavior of anyone they work with - Plane Data, Inc. and the NAAA publish theirs for anyone to review.
Honesty - All efforts are made to represent an aircraft as accurately as possible and to provide an impartial option of value based on the examination of the aircraft and records. Plane Data, Inc. does not provide reports that support a predetermined number nor is compensation paid based on a percentage of the aircraft's value.
