Balanced Aircraft and Helicopter Valuation for Accurate Market Insight
At Fly Fast Further First (F4), we provide Half Life Value (HLV) assessments — offering a realistic midpoint valuation for aircraft and helicopters between “as-is” and “full-life” conditions.
Prepared by an ASA-accredited Senior Appraiser, each report complies with USPAP standards and reflects true market behavior.
What Is Half Life Value?
Half Life Value represents the estimated market worth of an aircraft or helicopter assuming that all major life-limited components (engines, landing gear, APU, etc.) are, on average, at 50% of their usable life remaining.
This valuation approach provides a normalized baseline for comparing aircraft within a fleet or across the market.
When to Use Half Life Value
Half Life Value is often used for:
- Financing and leasing decisions
- Residual value forecasting
- Insurance and audit reporting
- Fleet benchmarking and analysis
- Asset portfolio management
