The Professional Aircraft Appraisal Organization (PAAO) was formed by several previous members of the now defunct and closed National Association of Aircraft Appraisers (NAAA). The need for a better appraisal organization was obvious to many of the members 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 Professional Aircraft Appraisal Organization LLC (PAAO) is a relatively new aircraft appraisal organization but its roots and foundations go back much further. In many ways, the PAAO is a continuation of the National Aircraft Appraisers Association (NAAA) which ceased operations at the end of 2018. While the NAAA had existed for over 30 years and helped many clients in their aircraft valuation needs, that organization was limited in several respects and in order to evolve, a new organization had to be established.

​

That evolution of the NAAA resulted in the formation of the PAAO and the initial Associates of the PAAO were all former members of the NAAA. In other words, the initial foundation of the PAAO was based on qualified, trained, experienced professionals in the aircraft appraisal industry who were capable and ready on day 1 to begin offering their services to the general public because they had been doing so for many years.

A certified professional aircraft appraisal continues to be a crucial tool for buyers, sellers, lenders, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) however not all certifying agencies for aircraft appraisers are the same nor do they apply identical standards for entry into their organization or training. Aircraft appraisals are vital to the aviation community to foster change of ownership and obtain financing. The demand for certified professional aircraft appraisals is strong and will continue for the foreseeable future.

​

To meet this continued need, the PAAO was organized and established by professional aircraft appraisers in an effort to raise expertise and provide competence to promote public trust in our Associates. Our board members are aviation professionals from a broad-spectrum of experience and knowledge in the aviation industry.
