What RAMP™ is

RAMP™ (Real-time Aircraft Market Pricing) is an AI-powered aircraft valuation engine built on live market data from 10+ independent aviation marketplaces. Unlike static price guides updated quarterly, RAMP™ searches active listings and recent sales in real time, then applies the Seven-Factor Condition Model to your specific aircraft's specs to produce a personalized market value estimate.

How the model works

RAMP™ first establishes a Comparable Base Value from current market listings (asking prices × 0.85 asking-to-sold ratio). It then applies the Seven-Factor adjustments relative to the average comparable aircraft to arrive at your aircraft's estimated fair market value. The Confidence Score reflects comparable count, source diversity, data recency, and availability of verified sold data.

The Seven-Factor Condition Model

30%
Engine Time & Status
Single largest value driver. Fresh factory-reman engine can add $20,000–$50,000+ over a run-out. SMOH / SNEW / TBO proximity and overhaul quality (field vs factory) all matter.
20%
Avionics Suite
Full glass panel (Garmin G3X, G1000NXi) can add $25,000–$60,000 over a steam gauge panel. IFR GPS adds $8,000–$20,000. ADS-B Out compliance is table stakes.
15%
Airframe Total Time (TTSN)
Lower airframe hours command a premium but the relationship is non-linear. A 172 with 2,000 hours is worth more than one with 8,000 hours, but both are worth significantly more than one with 15,000+ hours.
10%
Paint Condition (1–10)
Fresh professional paint adds $5,000–$15,000 depending on aircraft size. Oxidized, fading, or chipped paint signals deferred maintenance.
10%
Interior Condition (1–10)
Seat wear, carpet condition, headliner sag, panel cracking, and sun damage all factor into interior score.
10%
Propeller Time
A new or recently overhauled propeller adds $3,000–$8,000 for GA pistons, more for constant-speed props on turboprops.
5%
Damage History
Any confirmed accident, incident, or major structural repair (NTSB or FAA 337) discounts value 15–25% depending on severity and repair quality.
