AVIALINKER Aircraft Market Intelligence

How Aircraft Valuation Works

Avialinker generates professional aircraft appraisal reports in under 60 seconds, based on real market data, calibrated depreciation curves, and maintenance half-life methodology covering 21 aircraft families.

The Valuation Process

Four steps from aircraft data to PDF report. Steps 1 and 2 are required for BASIC and ANALYSIS tiers. The FREE tier delivers a CMV preview after Step 1 only.

1

Enter Quick Aircraft Data

Select aircraft type, engine variant, year of manufacture, and operating region. Optionally enter the MSN to auto-fill configuration details from our database of 90,000+ aircraft records. The system generates a live CMV preview as you fill in the fields.

2

Enter Technical Condition

For BASIC and ANALYSIS reports, provide airframe hours and cycles, engine shop visit history and LLP remaining cycles, landing gear overhaul dates, APU condition, cabin configuration, and commercial context such as asking price and your role in the transaction. Every field adjusts the final valuation.

3

Select Your Report Tier

Choose between FREE (instant CMV preview, no PDF), BASIC (full PDF appraisal from EUR 57), or ANALYSIS (extended PDF with sensitivity analysis and market intelligence from EUR 97). BASIC and ANALYSIS are delivered to your email in under 60 seconds.

4

Receive Your Report

The PDF is generated instantly and delivered by email. It includes the aircraft profile, indicative market value range, maintenance adjustment breakdown, key insights, market commentary, and full methodology. No waiting, no manual review, no registration required.

This is the half-life reference value. Your actual CMV will be adjusted for technical condition in Step 2.

Field Guide — Step 1

1
MSN (optional): The Manufacturer Serial Number is the unique identifier assigned to each airframe at production. If you enter it, Avialinker searches our database of 90,000+ records and auto-fills the aircraft type, engine, and year. You can skip it and fill manually.
2
Aircraft Type: Select the exact model and variant — for example "Boeing 737-800" not just "737". Variant matters: a 737-800 and 737-900 have different CMV curves. The dropdown covers 21 families including A320 family, B737 NG/MAX, A220, A330, A350, B787 and regional jets.
3
Engine Variant: Auto-fills from the aircraft type selection. Verify it matches your aircraft's actual engines — different thrust ratings (e.g. CFM56-7B24 vs 7B26E) can represent a meaningful value difference, especially at sale.
4
Year of Manufacture: The year the airframe left the production line — not the delivery date or entry into service date. Use the value from the aircraft's Certificate of Airworthiness or the manufacturer's data plate.
5
Operating Region: The region where the aircraft operates or is being marketed. Affects the CMV reference because demand and observed transaction prices vary by geography. Select the target buyer's market if known, or current operator's market.

What to Enter — Step 2: Technical Condition

Step 2 is the engine of the valuation. Each field adjusts the CMV up or down from the half-life baseline. The more complete and accurate your data, the more precise and defensible your report. Allow 5–10 minutes and have the aircraft logbooks or technical records to hand.

Field Guide — Step 2

1
TTSN — Total Time Since New (Flight Hours): The total accumulated flight hours on the airframe from first flight to today. Found in the aircraft logbook or technical records. Use the current figure, not at last C-Check.
2
CCSN — Total Cycles Since New: Total number of pressurisation cycles (takeoff-to-landing) since manufacture. The primary metric for structural fatigue. One cycle = one flight, regardless of duration.
3
Last C-Check Date: Month and year of the most recent C-Check (heavy airframe inspection). If a C3 or C4 check has just been completed, this is a significant positive adjustment. If the C-Check is due soon, it is a negative adjustment.
4
C-Check FH Remaining: Estimated flight hours remaining until the next C-Check is due under the operator's approved CAMP. If not known precisely, use the standard interval minus hours since last check.
5
Engine — TSN / CSN / CSLSV / LLP Remaining: The four key engine metrics. TSN = total time since new. CSN = total cycles since new. CSLSV = cycles since last shop visit (lower is better — 0 means the engine has never been opened). LLP Remaining = life-limited part cycles remaining before mandatory replacement. This is the primary engine value driver.
6
Engine 2: Enter independently for each engine. In most aircraft engines are not perfectly matched — one engine may have more CSLSV or fewer LLP cycles than the other. Each is valued separately and the adjustments are summed.
7
Landing Gear — Cycles Since OH: Cycles accumulated since the last landing gear overhaul for each unit (nose, left main, right main). If the gear has never been overhauled, enter the total cycles since new. Lower cycles = positive adjustment.
8
APU — Hours Since Shop Visit: Flight hours the APU has accumulated since its last shop visit. A recently overhauled APU (low hours since SV) is a positive adjustment. Enter 0 if the APU has just completed a shop visit.
9
Asking Price (optional): If the aircraft is listed for sale, enter the current asking price in USD. The report will calculate the delta between asking price and the CMV Adjusted value and provide a transaction signal (LOW / ALIGNED / HIGH). This is the most useful feature for buyers and sellers.

Valuation Methodology

Three analytical layers combined to produce a condition-adjusted market value.

01
Base Market Value (HLV)
The half-life reference value for each aircraft type, engine, and year of manufacture. Derived from publicly available market references and transaction data, calibrated quarterly. This is the starting point before any condition adjustment.
02
Maintenance Adjustment
Each major component (airframe, engines, landing gear, APU) is assessed against its maintenance half-life interval. Components above 50% remaining life add value; below 50% reduce value. The net sum is applied to the base value to produce the CMV Adjusted.
03
Market Condition Signal
If an asking price is provided, the system calculates the delta versus CMV Adjusted and generates a traffic light signal: LOW (below market), ALIGNED, or HIGH (above market). This is the core tool for buyer and seller negotiation positioning.
