Our Proprietary Advantage

Powered by AeroScore™ —
The Tool No Other Advisor Has.

Every Vantage engagement is powered by AeroScore™ — our proprietary aircraft records intelligence platform built by a pilot, former broker, and institutional risk executive. No other consultant in the market has this. It is not a logbook review. It is a deterministic scoring engine — ten weighted risk categories, FAA public data cross-references, and a full intelligence report tailored to your role in the transaction.

Deterministic, Not Discretionary
Every score is calculated by the same rules, applied the same way. Hard caps enforce airworthiness reality — an aircraft with an overdue annual cannot score above certain thresholds, regardless of everything else.
FAA Public Data Enrichment
Every report is cross-referenced against FAA registry, NTSB accident database, Federal Register ADs, FAA Document Index for title and lien status, and TCDS engine/prop approval lists.
Role-Specific Intelligence
The same analysis, delivered differently for buyers, sellers, and brokers. Each report includes the intelligence most relevant to your position in the transaction.
How We Work

How a Vantage Engagement Works.

From first call to closing — a structured, transparent advisory process backed by the most powerful records intelligence tool in general aviation.

01
Discovery & Aircraft Search
We start with a consultation call to understand your mission, budget, and timeline. For buyers we identify candidates on the market. For sellers we assess your aircraft's market position before you list.
02
AeroScore™ Intelligence
We run AeroScore™ on every aircraft under consideration — cross-referencing FAA registry, NTSB accident history, AD compliance, title and lien status, engine TBO, and more. You know the full picture before you make an offer or accept one.
03
Close with Confidence
We coordinate the pre-buy inspection, review closing documents, recommend title and escrow services, and stay with you through delivery. You close knowing exactly what you bought — and what you paid was fair.

About Vantage

Built by Someone Who Has
Sat on Every Side of This Transaction.

Vantage Aviation Advisory was founded by a pilot, CFI, former aircraft broker, and institutional risk executive — the only combination of credentials in the market that makes AeroScore™ possible. Not just technically. Credibly.

Commercial Pilot · Instrument Rated · ~1,000 Hours
Active pilot with a decade of flight experience. Has flown it, maintained it, and knows what the logbooks are hiding.
Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
Trained pilots. Understands aircraft systems at the teaching level — not just the operating level.
Former Aircraft Broker
Facilitated real transactions. Knows exactly how buyers get burned and exactly what sellers obscure.
VP, Operational Risk & Control · Major Financial Institution
8+ years building risk frameworks and governance programs at institutional scale. AeroScore™ is a risk intelligence product built by a risk professional.
Our Philosophy

The aircraft transaction market is not broken because good people aren't involved. It's broken because good people don't have good intelligence. A seller who doesn't know their annual is overdue can't price their aircraft correctly. A buyer who doesn't know a major engine overhaul is 200 hours away can't negotiate correctly.

AeroScore™ doesn't replace the pre-buy inspection, the A&P, or the aviation attorney. It gives every party in the transaction the intelligence layer they need to have those conversations from an informed position.

"One real report beats a thousand promises. Our goal with every AeroScore™ is to deliver something concrete — a number, a narrative, and a plan — that changes the outcome of a transaction."
