Total Fleet management services for small operators and other Lessee’s
When an operator accepts the lease of a commercial or business class aircraft, any errors, mistakes or omissions that are not discovered and resolved before the closing date and all future Continuing Airworthiness Management become the lessees responsibility.

Aside from the prevention of significant maintenance cost shortly after lease commencement, it is the Lessees responsibility to add the aircraft to their operators certificate and successfully complete the import and re registration of the aircraft.

In our experience in performing technical inspection services returning off lease aircraft on behalf of major lessors we regularly see Lessors hold Lessees acountable for aircraft records that the Lessor never provided at the beginning of the lease! It is the Lessees responsibility to verify all items at acceptance as Lessors commonly will require financial adjustments at return for deficiencies even when these items were not initially supplied.

The core business of Collateral Verifications is in providing unbiased appraisal, audit, advisory and inspection services. As certified aircraft appraisers, we have written the book on aircraft values and our role as industry advisers has allowed our company to establish many unique relationships at the highest levels of the aviation industry.

When engaged for aircraft & fleet management projects, the full valuation & technical knowledge base of CV is brought to task.
