PLEASE CONSIDER THIS: Before you hire someone to appraise your aircraft, ask him the tough questions and exercise due diligence. What is this person's experience level, and what type of aviation background does he possess? Beware of the inexperienced "low-ball" bidder... his learning curve may take place on your aircraft and the consequences of a poorly prepared appraisal could be costly to you.

Lastly, with experience comes peace-of-mind. Mr. Bransky's 36 years of experience in aviation assures that your aircraft appraisal needs will be dealt with correctly, thoroughly, and professionally.
