Comparing your aircraft with the listings on PlaneFox…
How the PlaneFox Aircraft Price Estimator works
The PlaneFox Aircraft Price Estimator gives a price span for one aircraft from the asking prices of the same model listed on PlaneFox today. You enter the make, the model, the year of build and the hours, and it compares your aircraft with every priced listing of that model.
1. Year of build sets the baseline
Year of build explains more of an aircraft's asking price than any other single figure. The estimator reads what your model year typically asks from the same trend PlaneFox shows on each model page, and takes its span from how widely comparable listings scatter around that trend.
2. Airframe hours adjust it slightly
Once the year of build is accounted for, extra airframe hours go with only a slightly lower asking price. The estimator measures that effect on the live listings and applies it as a small correction against the hours typical for your year.
3. Engine hours move it most
An engine close to its overhaul limit takes much of the cost of that overhaul off the price of the aircraft. The estimator uses the overhaul interval and overhaul cost PlaneFox has researched for each model. It treats the market figure as an aircraft with a mid-life engine, adds up to half an overhaul for a fresh engine and deducts up to half an overhaul for one at its limit.
Questions sellers ask
Is this a valuation?
No. The estimate is built from asking prices, which are what sellers hope to achieve and not what aircraft sold for. It does not know your avionics, paint, interior, damage history or paperwork. Use it as a starting point, and speak to a broker or an appraiser before you commit to a price.
Which hours should I enter?
Enter the total time on the airframe. If the engine has been overhauled or replaced, also enter the hours it has flown since. If you leave the engine field empty and the airframe has flown less than one overhaul interval, the estimator assumes the engine is the original one.
Why can't I find my model?
A model appears once PlaneFox holds at least five priced listings of it. Below that there is too little to compare against, so the estimator shows nothing instead of a guess.
How current are the figures?
The estimate is recalculated from the current PlaneFox listings each time you ask. Prices listed in other currencies are converted with the European Central Bank reference rate.
