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.

Our new tool is now available. It's ready for you to try out and see what "Risk" a particular value may generate. Some of our associates have been using the beta for several weeks. Most have been impressed with the information supplied. TRY IT OUT TODAY!

PAAO Training & Development

The PAAO ON-LINE Training site is now fully open!

We are exited to introduce this to our associates.

You must enroll (using the events pages) to be able to connect to the training you want, must complete, or desire to take!

The Basic Appraisal Training is now ready for our Associates!
This is a REQUIRED COURSE for new appraisers. The good news is that it is always available without any travel or other expenses.

For anyone wishing to enroll in the Senior Training Course, you need to apply for the course. It is on-line and available on our Training site. (If you have had that training you may get an update
if you like. It has more details and information than you may have taken!)

Even if you have been before, this is an updated and much improved course

If you are a current appraiser and need to learn the PAAO
Systems and Procedures that class is also now open. This covers
the requirement for recurrent training that the PAAO needs to assure everyone follows the same concepts and basics needed to assure competence and promote the public trust! We all need reminders and expansion of our thinking sometimes.
