Cheeks Prior to Return Clause Samples

Cheeks Prior to Return. Immediately prior to return of the Aircraft to LESSOR, LESSEE at its expense will do each of the following: 23.10.1 LESSEE will have the Return Check performed by an FAA-approved repair facility. LESSEE also agrees to perform during the Return Check any other work reasonably requested by LESSOR (and not otherwise required under this Lease) and LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for performing such LESSOR-requested work based on LESSEE’s out-of-pocket and unburdened labor and material costs. In the event that LESSEE exercises any extension option with respect to the Initial Lease Term, and the next consecutive check due on the Aircraft pursuant to the MPD (regardless of whether or not such check would have fallen during the Lease Term) is a “12Y” check, then LESSEE will accomplish the “12Y” check (including all lesser checks) as described in the MPD. 23.10.2 LESSEE will perform an internal and external corrosion inspection and correct any discrepancies in accordance with the recommendations of Manufacturer and the Structural Repair Manual. In addition, all inspected areas will be properly treated with corrosion inhibitor as recommended by Manufacturer. 23.10.3 LESSEE will remove LESSEE’s exterior markings, including all exterior paint, by stripping (or, at LESSOR’s option, pneumatically sanding) the paint from the fuselage, empennage, wings and Engine cowlings, and clean, reseal, refinish, prepare (including application of alodine or another corrosion inhibitor) and prime the surfaces to be painted, all in accordance with Manufacturer’s and paint manufacturer’s recommendations. LESSEE will then repaint the fuselage, empennage, wings and Engine cowlings in the colors and logo specified by LESSOR. Such painting will be accomplished in such a manner as to result in a uniformly smooth and cosmetically acceptable aerodynamic surface. All external placards, signs and markings will be properly attached, free from damage, clean and legible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cost of painting the Aircraft in the logo and colors specified by LESSOR exceeds the then-current cost of painting the Aircraft in the logo and colors in which it was painted at Delivery, then LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for any such excess cost. After painting, the Aircraft will be weighed. 23.10.4 LESSEE will clean the exterior and interior of the Aircraft. 23.10.5 If reasonably required by LESSOR, LESSEE will repaint by touch-up the interior of the Aircraft, including flight dec...
