Aircraft Appraisers Form New Professional Association
The Professional Aircraft Appraisal Organization currently counts 120 members from about six countries.

Veteran aircraft appraiser Mike Simmons and his peers have formed the Professional Aircraft Appraisal Organization (PAAO) following the disbanding of the former National Aircraft Appraisers Association, in hopes of promoting trust in the aircraft valuation process and providing its members training, resources, and networking. “We’re focused exclusively on aircraft [appraising], ensuring our guys do the proper research by going out to the field,” Simmons told AIN yesterday.
