The Aero Commander 500 family is a series of light-twin piston-engined and turboprop aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering Company in the late 1940s, renamed the Aero Commander company in 1950, and a division of Rockwell International from 1965. The initial production version was the Aero Commander 520. Piston- engined versions manufactured after 1967 are known as the Shrike Commander. The idea for the Commander light business twin was conceived by Ted Smith, a project engineer at the Douglas Aircraft Company. Working part-time after hours throughout 1944, a group of A-20 engineers formed the Aero Design and Engineering Company to design and build the proposed aircraft with a layout similar to their A-20 bomber. Originally, the new company was going to build three pre- production aircraft, but as the first aircraft was being built, they decided to build just one prototype. The final configuration was completed in July 1946 and was designated the Model L3805. Easy to fly and offering exceptional performance, Twin Commanders represent one of the most impressive and enduring designs to come from the genius of Ted Smith. Many consider the Commander to be one of the best performing aircraft in the world. No other plane anywhere near its price range offers the same combination of speed, range, useful load, short field performance and low cost of operation. It has an exemplary safety record, simple systems, low maintenance costs and docile flight characteristics. AERONUVO, a member of the National Aircraft Appraisers Association (NAAA) has access to important data to perform and deliver an aircraft appraisal for many Aero Commander aircraft models. This critical repositiory of information, assists in the creation of Aero Commander aircraft appraisal reports. The following is a list of Aero Commander aircraft that a Fair Market Value (FMV) appraisal report can be delivered to you by members of the NAAA. Objective, accurate and unbiased as always.

An Aircraft Appraiser Does

Not Set the Value of an

Aircraft - The Market Sets

the Value. This is Not

Universally Understood.

The primary objective of the aircraft appraiser, in most cases, is to make a numerical determination of value. From that resultant value it may be necessary to arrive at other sub values, such as a diminished value due to damage, or to apply a backwards or forward time-line to the evaluation. In rare cases it may be necessary to apply a value to a particular aircraft based on its ability to generate income for its owner. Whenever a client approaches the appraiser it is the appraiser's obligation to evaluate the job request to determine how the appraisal should be conducted, the information that is required to be generated, and that the particular job is within the purview and experience level of the appraiser. Once the aircraft appraiser accepts a job it is necessary to determine the primary result, that is the value of the aircraft based on sound appraising technique using the National Aircraft Appraiser Association's accepted methods. From there it may be necessary to make other determinations, and they should be based upon like events that can be traced, the Association's models regarding the subject, the appraiser's knowledge of the subject, or other reliable means that can be proven, if necessary, to result in a sound evaluation. It is the appraiser's obligation to ensure that when an appraisal is completed and presented to his client that it is accurate. There are several reasons why an appraisal, using the Association applications may not be accurate, and the appraiser must check his work to be certain that none of them apply. First, the source material may be inaccurate. The appraiser cannot be responsible if the information presented to him does not result in an accurate report. If, for example, a logbook is reported to be missing, when in reality it is not, the result will be an undervaluation of the aircraft. However, it is the appraiser's responsibility to thoroughly review the source material he is provided and to use it to generate an accurate report based on that information. As an aircraft buyer or seller, it is important to know what the true current market value pricing on a particular make and model aircraft is, instead of relying on “advertised” prices that may be inflated by as much as 20% or more over its actual true market value. Please realize that an aircraft appraiser does NOT set the value of an aircraft. The market sets the value. This is a simple but important concept. The professional appraiser combines a thorough understanding of the subject aircraft with a market study to produce a researched opinion of value.
