Experimental
and Homebuilt aircraft are the fastest growing segment of
general aviation. But, what is an experimental aircraft
worth for insurance or re-sale?
The very nature of Experimental and Homebuilt aircraft
dictates that No Two Are The Same.
Craftsmanship:
Attention to detail, and quality of options
differ from aircraft to aircraft. The NAAA
appraisal process and software fairly and objectively
assess the aircraft value.
Avionics:
Built on a budget or built as a premium level aircraft
- the avionics installed on the same make and model differ
dramatically. The avionics may have a substantial impact
on the aircraft's value. Failure to consider the
avionics would be a major error. The NAAA does it right!
Quality of exterior finish:
Not only affects
how the aircraft looks, it affects the aircraft's value.
Builder to builder variation here can be extreme, and
appearance affects value. Again, the NAAA does this
objectively and fairly.
What is the engine worth:
Some builders use modified automobile engines, others
use certified aircraft engines. Whether the aircraft has a
modified Subaru engine or a Lycoming will dramatically affect
value. The NAAA utilizes the engine information to
develop the aircraft's value.
When comparing professionalism, experience, knowledge,
reliability, accuracy, technique, acceptance of reports by
financial and government institutions, and overall quality of
work, the NAAA stands far above the competition.
