Helicopter buyers tend to be more knowledgeable about the aircraft they want to buy than their general aviation market counterpart. When comparing professionalism, experience, knowledge, reliability, accuracy, technique, acceptance of reports by financial and government institutions, and overall quality of work, Air Appraisal Company stands far above the competition.

Maintenance Counts:
Helicopters must use forces acting on the airframe to generate lift. As a result helicopters have more complicated maintenance requirements and more time limited components. Consequently, maintenance plays a larger role in estimating value than in fixed wing aircraft. As with fixed wing aircraft, helicopters with a damage history have less value than helicopters with a clean history. The NAAA appraisal process and software fairly and objectively assess the value of of components requiring routine maintenance and damage history.

Avionics:
Although helicopters typically have fewer avionics components than an a fixed wing aircraft in a similar mission, avionics still comprise a significant portion of a helicopters value. Failure to consider the avionics would be a major error. The NAAA process does it right!
