4. | GUARANTEE CONDITIONS |
4.1. | The performance certification requirements for the Aircraft, except where otherwise stated, will be as stated in Section 02 of the Specification. |
4.1. | For the determination of JAR take-off and landing performance a hard level dry runway surface with no runway strength limitations, no line-up allowance, no obstacles, zero wind, atmosphere according to ISA, except as otherwise stated and the use of speedbrakes, flaps, landing gear and engines in the conditions liable to provide the best results will be assumed. |
4.1.1. | When establishing take-off and second segment performance no air will be bled from the engines for cabin air conditioning or anti-icing. |
4.1.2. | When establishing en-route one engine inoperative climb performance the air conditioning bleed shall be on but no air will be bled from the engines for anti-icing. |
4.2. | Climb, cruise and descent performance associated with the Guarantees will include allowances for normal electrical load and for normal engine air bleed and power extraction associated with maximum cabin differential pressure as defined in Section 21-30.31 of the Specification. Cabin air conditioning management during performance demonstration as described in paragraph 5.3 may be such as to optimize the Aircraft performance while meeting the minimum air conditioning requirements defined above. Unless otherwise stated no air will be bled from the engines for anti-icing. |
Cruise performance at *** and above is based on a centre of gravity position of ***.
4.3. | The engines will be operated using not more than the engine manufacturer's maximum recommended outputs for take-off, maximum go-round, maximum continuous, maximum climb and cruise for normal operation unless otherwise stated. |

LETTER AGREEMENT N° 6
The Seller has developed a range of products, which are aimed at supporting the Buyer in the operation of the Aircraft.
The Seller shall provide to the Buyer the products and services described hereafter at the conditions defined herein (hereinafter referred to as “Additional Software”).
1. | AIRMAN |
1.1 | Description |
Airman is a ground software dedicated to maintenance operations for aircraft equipped with on-board monitoring systems.
The three major functions of Airman are line maintenance, hangar maintenance and engineering, as further described hereunder.
1.1.1 | Line Maintenance Function (Transit check) |
The line maintenance function provides a real time direct access to all maintenance data related to an Aircraft event. It therefore guides line maintenance personnel when troubleshooting the Aircraft. It also allows line mechanics to prepare the maintenance actions while the Aircraft is still flying.
1.1.2 | Hangar Functions (Daily check) |
With the use of this function of Airman, the Buyer shall be able to anticipate non-scheduled maintenance actions, which can be performed during night checks or integrated into a scheduled maintenance visit.
1.1.3 | Engineering functions |
By accessing the maintenance history, which is stored in Airman, detailed reports can be generated to monitor parameters that affect Aircraft reliability and maintenance efficiency. The data can be analysed per fleet, per system, per type of report and for any period of time. This enables the tool to be used to analyse trends and to identify issues that are affecting the operation of the fleet.
