| (1) | Section 1.3(a) of Schedule 6 to the CTA shall be deleted and replaced with the following: |
“(a) Each Engine Flight Hour and Engine Cycle controlled Hard Time Component shall have not more than the Minimum Hard Time Component Flight Hours and shall have not less than the Minimum Hard Time Component Cycles of life remaining to the next expected Engine Refurbishment based on the Manufacturer’s mean time between removals for such Engine and shall be supported by appropriate certification documentation indicating TSN, CSN, TSO and CSO such as JAR form 1 or FAA form 8130-1; for this purpose “Hard Time Component” means any component which has a limited on-wing life in accordance with the Maintenance Programme and which can have life fully restored through appropriate maintenance;
| (2) | Section 1.4(a) of Schedule 6 to the CTA shall be deleted and replaced with the following: |
“(a) have not more than the Minimum Engine Flight Hours life remaining to the next expected removal and each of the LLPs shall have not less than the Minimum Engine Cycles release life remaining. The expected life remaining will be determined by the inspection and checks accomplished by Lessor in accordance with the Lease, including the Manufacturer’s maintenance planning document;”
| (3) | Section 1.4(g) of Schedule 6 to the CTA shall be deleted and shall be replaced by the following paragraph (g): |
“(g) immediately prior to redelivery, will have the required EGT Margin, the EGT Margin shall be of a level , and the Engine shall otherwise be in a condition, consistent with the EGTM as at last performance restoration minus the expected deterioration for the hours and cycles accrued since the last performance restoration. The Engine will have performance characteristics consistent with engines of a similar age and time since performance restoration in the return condition, and expected EGTM deterioration according to the Manufacturer’s statistics. This, together with other performance characteristics, will be determined by a full performance test run in either (i) a test cell in accordance with the Manufacturer’s procedures or (ii) at Lessor’s option on-wing engine performance run in accordance with Test No. 13 (Task 71-00-00-700-011 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual) including vibration survey in accordance with Test No. 8 (Task 71-00-00-700-022-A of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual) to successfully demonstrate the take-off power in accordance with the limits shown in Manufacturer’s manual; report 04 (Take Off) should be obtained during acceptance on-wing performance run in order to calculate EGT Margin for the Engine, as per SIL 057 latest revision instructions, and confirmed that it is consistent with the Engine Flight Hours and Engine Cycles operated by the Engine since its last Engine Refurbishment but in any event, no less than 30° C at maximum rated take-off power. After satisfactory completion of the full performance test cell run or on-wing engine performance run (whichever is applicable), the Engine’s fuel and oil systems should be long term preserved for a 365 day period and will have completed a full unrestricted (all-ports) Video/DVD (preferred) borescope inspection, at Lessee’s cost, which will demonstrate compliance with the Manufacturer’s requirements. Lessee will correct, at its cost, any discrepancies found in the test and/or borescope inspections. In correcting any such discrepancies, no deferred items or repetitive inspections will be acceptable upon completion of the required repairs. In all cases, the engine condition monitoring (ECM) data will be available for Lessor’s review, will cover periods of installation sufficient to have initialized a baseline on the trend plot and will exhibit no abnormal trends or acceleration in the deterioration of the performance of the Engine.
