Course Description

This course is the first of four Principles of Valuation (POV) courses that make up ASA's Aircraft Valuation Program which provides the required baseline education on aircraft specific appraisals as part of the Accredited Member (AM) or Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) designation.  This course is designed to introduce students to proper aircraft appraisal terminology, methods and concepts. The course provides a solid foundation for the remaining three POV courses and will assist each student by broadening their skill set to include an expertise/specialty in the appraisal of aircrafts and equipment, as well as further enhance their career path and professional potential.

Additional course topics include:

  • Machinery and equipment appraisal terminology;
  • Functions and purposes of appraisals;
  • Introduction of the three approaches to value;
  • Depreciation and factors affecting depreciation;
  • Field inspection techniques and safety;
  • Introduction to the issues of indexes in machinery and equipment appraising;
  • Basic pricing exercises for current and obsolete assets; and
  • Ethics and professional standards.

This class will also include a special tour of the local Air and Space Museum - (in person attendees only).
