What is the Fixing the Aircraft Valuation Model That course about?

Every month, the same issue: updated obsolescence data invalidates the depreciation curves in your core valuation model. You or your team end up manually adjusting inputs, rechecking residual values, and re-running scenarios because legacy templates can’t adapt. Stakeholders question consistency. Revisions delay approvals. The cycle repeats. It’s not a data problem , it’s a model architecture problem masked as routine maintenance.
