Within ISTAT is a core group of professional aircraft appraisers who work cooperatively for the elevation of the appraisal profession within the world aviation community. Each ISTAT member who has satisfactorily demonstrated that they are qualified to appraise airline transport aircraft has been granted the right to use one of the professional designations established by ISTAT. The use of such designations is predicated upon society criteria: written examinations, submission of representative appraisal reports, full-time valuation experience, personal background check and participation in the society's program of ongoing education.
