Detail Your Services
OakTree Aviation Services provides aircraft appraisals in Southern California for individual owners and institutional clients. Our reports are USPAP-compliant and PAAO-certified, supported by on-site inspections, logbook review, and defensible reporting.
I regularly work throughout the region—from the Inland Empire and Orange County to Los Angeles and San Diego—coordinating inspections at public and private airports.
With more than 30 years of aviation experience, I complete appraisals for financing, ownership planning, legal matters, donations/estate planning, and other tax-related reporting—tailored to the assignment’s intended use.Each
Each assignment follows recognized professional standards and is clearly documented so the intended user can rely on the valuation for its stated purpose.
Professional Experience and Scope
Our appraisal practice includes valuing fixed-wing and rotor-wing aircraft in the general aviation and business aviation markets.
Appraisal reports are prepared in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and supported by PAAO analytical methodology, with clear identification of intended use, intended users, scope of work, and effective date.
Serving California and Beyond
OakTree Aviation Services maintains deep operational roots in California and routinely performs on-site aircraft inspections throughout Central and Southern California, supporting appraisal assignments across the state.
Our appraisal practice also includes aircraft located throughout the Western United States, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona. Assignments are structured to accommodate inspection logistics, regional market conditions, and the specific requirements of the intended use.
Whether an aircraft is located within California or elsewhere in the United States, appraisal assignments are handled with a consistent, methodical approach grounded in market evidence, professional judgment, and defensible analysis.
Appraisal Standards and Methodology
We provide aircraft appraisal services with local inspection capability and nationwide coverage, supporting assignments where the aircraft, lender, attorney, fiduciary, or owner may be located in different regions.
