1. Factors Influencing Aircraft Values
Broadly speaking, the factors that influence aircraft values be assigned into the following categories:
A. ManufactureB. MarketC. Regulatory JurisdictionD. Aircraft Specific
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 3
1. Factors Influencing Aircraft Values
A. Manufacture
i. Pricing Strategy ; if OEM deep discounts persists, values will not return to their historical levels.
ii. Production Rate ; high production rates can potentially create an oversupply & impair current values.
iii. Manufacture Status ; demise of an OEM often contribute to ailing values of existing aircraft.
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 4
1. Factors Influencing Aircraft Values
B. Market Conditions
i. Market Outlook ; forecast of air traffic volumes and airplane demand - strong conditions translate into higher traffic growth and vice-versa.
ii. Airline Profits ; strong correlation between profits & aircraft values (Profits values )
C. Regulatory Jurisdiction
iii. Age Curfew ; many countries now have regulations on the maximum age an aircraft can have, which can have a negative impact on aircraft values.
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 5
1. Factors Influencing Aircraft Values
D. Aircraft Specifici. Age ; less stable as aircraft ages
ii. Liquidity ; customer base & geographical distribution
iii. Production Cycle ; long production runs are good, and early & late stages cycles are worse
iv. Specification ; weight, thrust, cabin configuration, winglets, and technology features
v. Family Variants ; aircraft families (737NG & A320) provide fleet & capacity planning flexibility.
vi. Operating Economics ; payload, range, fuel burn, etc.
vii. Secondary Market ; freighter conversions & part-outs
viii. Maintenance Status
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 6
2. Maintenance Status : User Context
The context in which maintenance status is used depends on whom the constituents are. There are two:
A. TechnicalB. Financial
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 7
2. Maintenance Status : User Context
A. To technical constituents, maintenance status generally denotes an interval reference (i.e. FH, FC, calendar months, etc.) that is used to quantify where an event is in its maintenance cycle.
Example interval reference:an engine’s maintenance status is stated as having :
30,000 FH TSN / 15,000 FC TSN 10,000 FH TSLSV / 5,000 FC CSLSV
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 8
2. Maintenance Status : User Context
B. To financial constituents, maintenance status generally denotes a value reference that is directly correlated to the life remaining of certain high cost maintenance events.
Example value reference:an aircraft’s maintenance status is stated as being at :
Half-life Above or Below half-life Full-life
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 9
2. Maintenance Status : Maintenance Events
Aircraft market values are adjusted for deviations in the maintenance status of high cost maintenance events consisting of:
i. Airframe Heavy Structural Inspectionsii. Landing Gear Overhaulsiii. Engine Performance Restorationiv. Engine LLP Replacementv. APU Performance Restoration
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 10
2. Maintenance Status : Maintenance Utility
Maintenance status is used to quantify, in whole of part, the value of maintenance utility remaining.
The key to quantifying maintenance status lies in making accurate assessment as to:
A. Where each maintenance event is relative to their last and next shop visit, and
B. What percentage of its next / upcoming shop visit cost is remaining.
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 11
2. Maintenance Status : Utility Profiles
A. Hard-time – maintenance events that generally have 100% of their values decline to zero & subsequently recapitalized to full value after each check.

2. Maintenance Status : Financier Terms
Aircraft appraisers use, as a baseline reference, two industry-standard terms to represent an aircraft’s maintenance status:
A. Full-life – the full-life status implies each major maintenance event has just been fully restored to zero-time condition.
B. Half-life – the half-life status implies that each major maintenance event is half-way between overhaul / restoration.

2. Maintenance Status : Valuation Concepts
Adjustment from half-life reflects deviations from half-life. The deviations ($) are either positive or negative depending on the status of the maintenance event.
Example A : Half-life Calculation - 737-800 / 8-Yr SI Check
Adjustment from Half-life ($) = (% Life Remaining - 50%) * (Mtx Event Cost)
8-Year Interval = 96 months
8-Year SI Cost = $780,000 8-Year Life Remaining= 24 months
Adjustment from Half-life ($) = (25% - 50%) * $780,000 = ($195,000)

2. Maintenance Status : Valuation Perspective
In the real world it is common to make financial adjustments to account for both an aircraft’s condition and maintenance status.
Condition tends to be a judgment call - if an aircraft has scab patches, is dirty, dripping fluids, and has a lot of deferred maintenance items, it is not uncommon to assign a lower value to this aircraft.
In most cases however, an aircraft’s condition, as opposed to its maintenance status, would not warrant a significant change in an appraiser’s standard value opinion.
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 21
3. Aircraft Values : Appraisal Terms & Concepts
The standard aircraft value terms used by investors & appraisers are defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading (ISTAT). Key values are :
A. Base Market ValueB. Current Market ValueC. Adjusted Market ValueD. Future Base Value
A. Base Market Value – represents the opinion of the value of a single aircraft in a single arms-length transaction in a balanced market, unaffected by short-term events. Base value assumes an aircraft’s maintenance status is at half-life.
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 22
3. Aircraft Values : Appraisal Terms & Concepts
B. Current Market Value – represents an appraiser’s opinion of the most likely trading price that may be generated for a single asset under market conditions that exist at that time. Current market value assumes an aircraft’s maintenance status is at half-life.
Example:
Base Value
Current Market Value
CMV = BV : market conditions arein equilibrium.
CMV > BV : market conditions aretending to support higher prices.
CMV < BV : market conditions aretending to support lower prices.
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 23
3. Aircraft Values : Appraisal Terms & Concepts
C. Adjusted Market Value – indicates that the market or base value of the aircraft has been adjusted from half-life to
account for the actual maintenance status:
Adjusted Market Value ($) = Market Value + Adjustment from Half-life
Base Value = $31,500,000 Half-life Adjustment = ($2,084,333) Adjusted BV = $29,415,667
Current Market Value = $32,700,000 Half-life Adjustment = ($2,084,333) Adjusted CMV = $30,615,667
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 24
3. Aircraft Values : Appraisal Terms & Concepts
D. Future Base Value – is the appraiser’s forecast of future aircraft values from an initial starting point that is
generally its base value.
Age
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 25
4. Age & Value Performance : Terms & Concepts
Age implications to maintenance status; as the aircraft ages so does it’s corresponding Direct Maintenance Costs (DMC). The aging process can be categorized into maintenance phases:
Year of Operation1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20EIS
First-run Phase
All maintenanceevents have yetTo occasion theirfirst shop visit
Mature-run Phase
Begins after the newness phase and runs through the first maintenance cycle.
Aging-run Phase
Begins after the end of the first maintenance cycle when the effects of airframe age result in higher non-routine maintenance costs.

4. Age & Value Performance : Terms & Concepts
Age implications to aircraft values; as the aircraft ages it’s value decreases and becomes more volatile. The aging process can be categorized into value phases:

Influence of Age & Maintenance Status on Aircraft Values
As an aircraft ages, maintenance accounts for a higher proportion of the aircraft’s total value
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 29
4. Age & Value Performance : Terms & Concepts
As the aircraft ages the proportion of maintenance status value tends to be largely concentrated in the engines.

4. Age & Value Performance : General Rule
Often, if an aircraft’s overall maintenance status is determined to be:
i. Above half-life - buyers rarely pay seller dollar-for-dollar for the premium above half-life
ii. Below half-life - buyers will demand dollar-for-dollar impairment for the value below half-life.
And hence the importance of maintenance status forecasting

5. Market Conditions & Value Performance
In a balanced market, an aircraft sold in half-life assumes no profit or loss results from maintenance status.
In reality both aircraft and maintenance status values can swing dramatically depending on supply & demand. Market Mtx Status Comments
Above Half-life Likelihood of no premium for higher levels of maintenance status Below Half-life Likelihood of significant discount for lower levels of maintenance status Above Half-life Likelihood of a premium but not full dollar-for-dollar Below Half-life Likelihood of a discount ranging as high as full dollar-for-dollar Above Half-life Likelihood of a premium but not full dollar-for-dollar Below Half-life Likelihood of minimal discount for lower levels of maintenance status

6. Conclusions
i. The value of maintenance status is rarely constant; volatility of markets inherently translates into volatility of both aircraft & maintenance status valuation.
ii. After an aircraft reaches a certain age the main differentiator between specific aircraft of the same vintage will often be the value in their maintenance status.
iii. Obtaining dollar-for-dollar premium for maintenance status is rarely achieved, therefore traders should account for an optimal trading period that considers the age of the aircraft as well as the status of major maintenance events.
IATA Maintenance Cost Conference, Singapore October 20th, 2011 35
6. Conclusions - Continued
iv. Whereas an airframe gradually deteriorates over time, appropriate maintenance can repetitively restore an
engine to a near new condition and value. Therefore, engine maintenance status needs to be carefully monitored given its influence on aircraft market values.
v. In forecasting maintenance status, the operational profile, airframe age, and inflation rate should be considered as an integral part of the methodologies used to assess the value of maintenance.
