Common use of Standard Method Clause in Contracts

Standard Method. Article 5.4 of the Aircraft General Terms Agreement Number AGTA-FED between Boeing and Customer dated November 7, 2006 (AGTA) provides that Boeing shall furnish to Customer as soon as practicable flight test data, obtained on an aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft, certified as correct by Boeing, to evidence compliance with the Performance Guarantees (Aircraft Report); and that any Performance Guarantee shall be deemed to be met if reasonable engineering interpretations and calculations based on such flight test data establish that the Aircraft would, if actually flown, comply with such guarantee. This method of demonstrating compliance with the Performance Guarantees is defined as the “Standard Method”. Except as provided in paragraph 1.2, the Standard Method will be used for establishing compliance with all Performance Guarantees.
