In today’s complex market, a “Prime Condition Aircraft” (PCA™) may impact value.

The Aircraft Bluebook – Price Digest classifies as PCA an aircraft based on its superior characteristics when compared to an identical aircraft with normal wear and tear.  PCA factors may include but are not limited to:  brand new, high quality paint and interior, significant airframe and avionics upgrades/modifications, a high level restoration if older than 35 years, and an unblemished history with excellent (and complete) records.  A PCA will have extraordinary attributes that will contribute to its reliability, comfort, appearance and performance.

Ultimately, it is left to the discretion of the Bluebook user to adjust an aircraft’s value using the PCA definition.  Real time market conditions must always be considered.  In the final analysis, a conclusion of value should always be supported by a consensus among parties involved in the transaction of a PCA aircraft.

Should a qualified PCA adjustment be required, use the drop down box to select a percentage OR enter a value in whole dollars in the second box.  Use the adjust cost button after either selection.
