Three Pillars of Capital Strategy
Pillar I
Aircraft Capital Strategy Engagement
Our flagship advisory engagement. A comprehensive, data-driven analysis of your aircraft's capital position, delivered as a formal strategic brief. This is not a quick opinion — it is a structured, institutional-grade assessment designed to inform your next major capital decision.
The engagement includes a 60-minute briefing call to walk through findings and recommendations, plus one follow-up clarification call within 14 days.
Deliverables Include:
Valuation range assessment based on current market conditions
Engine lifecycle positioning relative to TBO
Upgrade ROI analysis for avionics and airframe improvements
3-path capital comparison: Overhaul & Hold / Upgrade & Sell / Sell As-Is
Strategic recommendation with supporting rationale

Note: Piston Aircraft Advisors does not act as a listing broker. This is a strategic advisory engagement, not a brokerage relationship.
Pillar III
Buying & Selling Advisory
Whether you are considering an acquisition or a disposition, our advisory approach treats every transaction as a capital strategy decision — not a listing exercise. We help you understand the full financial picture before you commit.
For sellers, we analyze your aircraft's competitive position and recommend optimal timing and preparation. For buyers, we evaluate target aircraft against your mission profile and capital objectives.
