Nationwide
Aircraft Assurance Services
In the course of developing this appraisal, the appraiser relied upon numerous industry
valuation guidebooks, maintenance status reports specific to the subject aircraft, interviews
with numerous brokers and industry maintenance providers who specialize in the subject
aircraft make and model, and Nationwide Aircraft Assurance Services’ own proprietary
industry valuation database.
This appraisal report is intended to be advisory only. It is important to note that since
appraisals are only estimates of fair market resale values, there can be no assurance that such
appraised values will not materially change due to future obsolescence and changing market
conditions, or lack of support by relevant manufacturers and/or suppliers.
A physical inspection the Subject Helicopter and its maintenance records was
conducted on July 31, 2017 at the Charlotte County Sheriff’ Office aircraft hangar facility
located at the Punta Gorda Airport, Punta Gorda, FL in order to gather independent
information regarding its overall condition, maintenance status, equipment, and any other
information considered germane to this appraisal. As will be detailed in the following section,
there are a number of issues which, in the opinion of the appraiser collectively have a material
impact upon the value of the Subject Helicopter. These issues are summarized below:
• Total Airframe Time. The Subject Helicopter is reported to have a total of 3,822.7
hours of utilization on its airframe. This equates to an average of approximately
87 hours per year. In comparison, among the Bell UH-1H Iroquois helicopters known
to be available for sale world wide, the average is 162 hours per year. Therefore, with
its total time less to that of the available fleet average, it is the Appraiser’s opinion
that there is positive material effect upon the value of the Subject Helicopter relative
to Total Airframe Time.
• Airframe Components. With exception to minor defects including a loose seal strip
assembly on the right cockpit door and abrasion scratches to the left cockpit door
sliding window, the condition of the Subject Helicopter external airframe components
are considered to be in above average condition for its year of production and total
operating hours. Therefore, it is the Appraiser’s opinion that there is positive
material effect upon the value of the Subject Helicopter relative to its Airframe
Components.
Nationwide
Aircraft Assurance Services
• Life Limited Components. Maintenance records indicate that the reported major
life limited components are in serviceable condition and have an overall above
average percentage of their TBO service life remaining before overhaul or replacement
is required. Therefore, it is the Appraiser’s opinion that there is positive material
effect upon the value of the Subject Helicopter relative to its Life Limited
Components.
• Paint & Interior. An important issue effecting all helicopters is the appearance and
condition of the paint and interior. In the case of the Subject Helicopter, paint on the
exterior surfaces of the subject helicopter was applied during 2016 in a standard
Charlotte County Sheriffs Office livery design and is considered to currently be in
excellent condition absent of notable wear, damage or paint defects.
With regard to its interior configuration and condition, the Subject Helicopter is
equipped with a total seating capacity of ten excluding the pilots in a standard
Bell UH-1H configuration. The interior is original to the helicopter and considered
to be in slightly below average condition due only to the removal of its ceiling
headliner coverings.
Therefore, it is the Appraiser’s opinion that there is positive material effect upon
the value of the Subject Helicopter relative to its Paint and negative material effect
to its Interior.
Nationwide
Aircraft Assurance Services
• Ice Protection Systems. The Subject Helicopter is not equipped with ice protection
systems allowing flight into known icing conditions. The limited system installed
are reported to be in serviceable condition absent of defects. Therefore, it is the
Appraiser’s opinion that there is neither positive, nor negative material effect upon
the value of the Subject Helicopter relative to Ice Protection Systems.
• Maintenance Records and Technical Manuals. The maintenance records for the
Subject Helicopter are considered to be well documented and complete. There is no
evidence of missing or altered entries within the available maintenance records. The
minimum required technical manuals are included with the Subject Helicopter.
Therefore, it is the Appraiser’s opinion that there is neither positive, nor negative
material effect upon the value of the Subject Helicopter relative to its Maintenance
Records and Technical Manuals.
Nationwide
Aircraft Assurance Services
During its nine years of production, a total of 5,435 Bell UH-1H Iroquois were built and
delivered to customers worldwide.
There are a reported 738 UH-1H Iroquois helicopters that remain serviceable throughout
the world. Most are are operated within multiple international government military and law
enforcement agencies as well as with oil exploration, agricultural and fire fighting organizations.

THE MARKET
Aircraft market stability and value assessment of specific aircraft types can be
attributed to a number of factors. The first of these is economic growth (or lack of) in key
markets around the world. Additionally, the operator base of specific aircraft types. Fuel and
maintenance costs when calculated against specific aircraft asset base values and revenue
forecasts. Lastly, new aerodynamic technology and advanced engineering and manufacturing
processes help make some aircraft more efficient, environmentally friendly and economical to
operate than others, thus directly affecting market demand of specific models.
Both commercial and general aviation flight activity has increased globally during the
first quarter of 2017 compared to the last 3 months of 2016. The significant increase in activity
could be an indicator of positive sentiment among industry analysts concerning the overall
economy. With continued strong growth in key industries such as business services, most
analysts are optimistic 2017 will be a good year for the general aviation industry.
The helicopter resale market began 2017 with one of the best first quarters in the past 10
years. The turnover in the turboshaft powered helicopter fleet totaled 2.7% during the first
quarter of 2017, the second best start to a year for this segment in the past three years and
equal to the same time in 2008.
Nationwide
Aircraft Assurance Services
In the final analysis, newer turboshaft powered helicopters (less than 6 years old) and
premium quality older helicopters with fewer total operating hours, better cosmetics, more
advanced avionics/operating systems and clean histories should fair better in maintaining value
in the current market.
Currently on the world wide market, there are 17 Bell UH-1H Iroquois helicopters
offered for sale with current asking prices ranging from $379.0 thousand for a 1964 production
year model with 12,359 total airframe hours to $895.0 thousand for a 1964 production year
model with 12,218 total airframe hours. Available reported world wide sales data for Bell UH-
1H Iroquois helicopters during the previous twelve month period reflect a value range of
$320.65 thousand for a 1965 production year model with 13,280 total airframe hours to $775.0
thousand for a 1971 production year model with 3,228 total airframe hours. Average price for
a factory new Bell UH-1H Iroquois during 1973 was $2.78 million.
Reasonable exposure time to the market for a 1973 Bell UH-1H Iroquois helicopter in
average overall condition, with average total airframe time, mid-time engine and life limited
components, VFR level avionics, all ADs/SBs complied with, complete maintenance records
and no damage history would be approximately 144 days if priced between $478.0 thousand
and $518.0 thousand.

APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY
In order to appraise the base and adjusted values of helicopters, Nationwide Aircraft
Assurance Services uses as a primary determinant all known and reported historical and
current market values. These values are extracted from numerous aviation industry sources and
from Nationwide Aircraft Assurance Services’ proprietary aircraft transaction database.
Nationwide
Aircraft Assurance Services
The product of the analysis identifies the relationship between the value of a particular
helicopter and its characteristics, such as model designation, service configuration and useful
life relative to overhaul (TBO) requirements. Once the relationship is identified, one can then
postulate the effects of the difference between the economic circumstances at the time when the
cross-sectional data were collected and the current situation. Therefore, it is possible to
estimate the value of a particular helicopter for any specific period of time.
