Interior Design Evaluation
Interior Design Evaluation
Clarity. Insight. Confidence—Before You Commit.
Whether you’re purchasing a pre-owned aircraft, preparing for a refurbishment, or evaluating an interior shop’s recommendations, understanding the true condition of your cabin is essential. An aircraft interior may look acceptable on the surface, but hidden wear, outdated materials, mismatched components, or non-aviation-grade replacements can turn into costly surprises down the road.
The Interior Design Evaluation service from Flight Lines Design gives owners and operators a professional, aviation-focused assessment of the cabin’s current state—helping you make smart, informed decisions before investing in updates.
With over 15 years of experience in aircraft interior design, materials, refurbishment workflows, and FAA requirements, we provide a detailed evaluation that identifies what should be refreshed, replaced, upgraded, or fully redesigned.
Why Interior Evaluation Matters
Aircraft interiors are complex. Even if the cabin appears clean and presentable, deeper issues may not be obvious:
• Leather that has dried, hardened, or lost elasticity
• Carpets that appear fine but contain wear channels
• Veneers that are lifting or fading
• Hardware plating that is dull or scratched
• Sidewalls with hidden discoloration
• Outdated materials that no longer meet FAA standards
• Mismatched cabin components from past refurbishments
• Poor-quality aftermarket materials used by previous owners
Our evaluation provides clarity, saves money, protects your investment, and ensures that any
upcoming refurbishment is based on strategic choices—not guesswork.
When an Interior Evaluation Is Most Beneficial
1. Before Buying a Pre-Owned Aircraft
Know what you’re inheriting—and what it will cost to update.
2. Before Planning a Refurbishment
Strategic planning prevents unnecessary expenses and ensures cohesive design.
3. When an Aircraft Is Aging Out of Its Current Style
We highlight which elements are aging your cabin and how to update them effectively.
4. When You Need a Second Opinion on Shop Recommendations
Not all shop suggestions align with your needs—our evaluation brings clarity.
5. For Charter or Corporate Fleets
Fleet interiors require durability; evaluation ensures long-term cost efficiency.
