When the lessor puts the aircraft on lease it will be concerned to ensure that the aircraft is operated in such a manner as will not unduly affect the market value of the aircraft (and therefore its value as quasi-security) during the term of the lease. As a bare minimum, the lessee will be asked to undertake to the lessor that it will operate the aircraft:

  1. in accordance with all applicable laws (which includes the state in which the aircraft is registered as well as those of jurisdictions where the aircraft is physically located)

  2. in accordance with all permits or licences which are required by the lessee to operate the aircraft

  3. in a way which will not invalidate any warranties granted by a manufacturer in respect of the aircraft

  4. in accordance with the specifications and tolerances and any manuals for the aircraft provided by a manufacturer

  5. in a way which will not invalidate the insurances or leave the aircraft uninsured, and

  6. legally or only for legal purpose

Mandatory checks and inspections
