English term or phrase: ex a check
The aircraft shall be ex a 4C/6year check in “block” format, including all inspections with intervals of 6,000 flight hours, 4,500 cycles, 20 months and all lesser inspection intervals, where relevant, the work-scope and intervals (calendar and/or hourly) shall not be less than those prescribed by the then current Manufacturer’s Maintenance Planning Document.

This term is used in an Aircraft Lease Agreement, and has only two matches in google:

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/932110/04/00009501340...
http://google.brand.edgar-online.com/EFX_dll/EDGARpro.dll?Fe...

As far as I remember "ex" is "without" or "excluding", but detailed information of the main and subsequent checks after the "ex a check" is fairly misleading.
