Free Aircraft Valuation

That is what this page is for. Send the make, year, hours and condition and a valuer writes back with a range for your aircraft as it sits today, free, within 48 working hours. The figure is an opinion of market value, not a formal appraisal and not a guess from a listing average.

No, and we do not publish a best free aircraft value calculator either. A calculator can only average what is listed. It cannot see time remaining on an engine, a damage history, or a panel fitted last year, which is why two aircraft of the same year can be tens of thousands apart. We read what you send and write back with a range instead.

No. An aircraft cost calculator, or a private jet cost calculator, estimates what it costs to own and fly: fuel, hangar, maintenance, crew. This page answers a different question: what the aircraft would sell for today. Operating-cost figures live on our private jet cost per hour and average private jet cost pages.

No. AI valuation of pre-owned aircraft is a shortcut that averages listings. It cannot tell a tired airframe from a well-kept one. A person on our team does the work, for pistons through to pre-owned private jets.

It is. No charge, and no obligation to list afterwards. We do it because an owner who knows what their aircraft is worth makes better decisions about when and how to sell - and because a fair number of those owners come back to us when they are ready.

We come back to every request within 48 working hours. If your aircraft is an unusual one - a warbird, a one-off modification, a type that rarely changes hands - we may ask a few questions first, and the figure follows once we have the answers.

Make and model, year, where it is based, total time, engine time since overhaul, its condition and its damage history will get us most of the way. Avionics, interior and paint, and any recent upgrades sharpen the number. A registration or serial helps us check the records, and neither is published.

Yes. Nothing you send is published, nothing is sold or passed to anyone outside our team, and your registration stays between us unless you decide to list and tell us otherwise. We will use your details to value the aircraft and to keep in touch with you about it, including the occasional note about selling with us, and you can ask us to stop writing at any time.

A valuation is an informed opinion of what your aircraft would sell for today, and that is what we give you here, free. A formal appraisal is a paid, signed report produced to a professional standard for a bank, an insurer, a court or a tax authority. If you need one of those we will tell you, and every aircraft listed with us gets an independent appraisal published on its listing at no cost to the seller.

By comparison, mostly. A valuer looks at what similar aircraft have recently sold for and what is on the market now, then adjusts for the things that separate one airframe from the next: total time, engine and propeller status against their limits, avionics, damage history, how complete the logs are, paint and interior, and where in the world it sits.

No. Take the figure and do as you like with it. If you do decide to sell with us, listing costs nothing and we only charge once the aircraft has sold.

Nothing to list. A success fee applies only if the aircraft sells: 5% from the seller and 5% from the buyer - and the buyer's half is waived until the end of 2026. If the reserve is not met, or the auction closes without bids, you owe nothing.

It is the lowest amount you are willing to accept, and it stays confidential. Bidders are told only whether it has been met, never what it is. If bidding finishes below it the aircraft does not sell and you owe nothing. Leaving the reserve off means the highest bid wins whatever it turns out to be, which tends to draw more bidders because everyone can see the aircraft is genuinely leaving.
