Professional Aircraft Appraisal Organization LLC
(PAAO)

What is the PAAO?

The Professional Aircraft Appraisal Organization (PAAO) was established to ensure the public trust when aircraft appraisals are involved. We carefully select aviation professionals, then through training, comprehensive research, and detailed reporting provide credible reliable opinions of value.

The PAAO is made up of Aviation Professionals who know aircraft and only work within the aviation industry. The need for a better appraisal organization was obvious and the PAAO was setup to address those issues and improve training, exposure, knowledge, communication, cooperation, and the abilities of those who wish to join the organization.

The PAAO has "mentors" for those wishing to learn how an aircraft appraisal should be accomplished. The PAAO focuses on understanding the Appraisal Process, understanding all of what impacts Aircraft values, understanding the aircraft market, understanding the specifics of each aircraft, and how to manage that information for the best results in an appraisal. If you have some aircraft backgound and want to expand your knowledge the PAAO can help.

As opposed to some other groups, the PAAO does Aircraft Appraisals only because we know aircraft and stay within that specialization.

So if you need a credible, reliable aircraft appraisal by a trained and experienced professional - CALL US! Our Professional Aircraft Appraiser Finder will help you locate a Professional in your location.

Be sure to check our JOIN US information on the menu.
