RAD Jets

RAD Jets is a trusted provider of expert aircraft appraisal services in the business aviation sector, delivering precise, reliable, and USPAP-compliant valuations to support critical financial, insurance, tax, leasing, and transactional decisions. Led by Chris Canon, MBA, ASA—a senior accredited appraiser with the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and over 15 years of industry experience—the company combines deep aviation knowledge with a rigorous, data-driven approach to aircraft valuation.

RAD Jets offers multiple appraisal types tailored to client needs:

- Full On-Site Appraisals: Comprehensive evaluations involving thorough physical inspections of the aircraft, detailed records reviews, analysis of comparable sales, market trends, and current conditions. These hands-on appraisals uncover potential issues and provide an accurate current market value, ideal for financing, acquisitions, and high-stakes decisions.

- Desktop Appraisals: Efficient, non-invasive valuations based on client-provided data, market research, and external sources (without physical inspection or full maintenance history review). These support scenarios like past/current/future value estimates, "what-if" analyses, and quicker assessments.

- Additional Services: Fleet assessments via annual subscription for ongoing value monitoring; estate tax appraisals compliant with tax regulations, in collaboration with attorneys and accountants; lease appraisals including use tax and lease rate evaluations; diminution of value assessments for damaged aircraft; consulting; expert testimony or opinions; non-cash charitable contribution valuations; market evaluations; and portfolio reviews. All additional services are billed at competitive hourly rates where applicable.

All appraisals are performed by ASA-accredited professionals who adhere to the highest standards, including USPAP compliance for financing valuations, ensuring credibility with lenders, insurers, lessors, owners, and other stakeholders. RAD Jets emphasizes quick-turnaround times, unmatched accuracy to prevent overpaying or undervaluing assets, and transparency throughout the process.

As a family-oriented business (RAD named for the owner's children's initials) headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, RAD Jets serves clients nationwide and globally, with appraisers willing to travel for on-site needs. The company's commitment to excellence aligns with NAFA's mission to promote integrity and professionalism in aircraft finance and valuation services.
