When establishing take-off and second segment performance no air will be bled from the engines for cabin air conditioning or anti-icing.

4.3
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 Subparagraph 5.3 below 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.

4.4
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.

4.5
Where applicable the Guarantees assume the use of an approved fuel having a density of *** and a lower heating value of ***. Cruise performance assume a centre of gravity position of ***.

Compliance with those parts of the Guarantees defined in paragraph 2 above not covered by the requirements of the certifying Airworthiness Authority shall be demonstrated by calculation based on data obtained during flight tests conducted on one (or more, at the Seller's discretion) A320-200 aircraft of the same aerodynamic configuration as the Aircraft purchased by the Buyer and incorporated in the In-Flight Performance Program and data bases ("the IFP") appropriate to the Aircraft.

5.4
Compliance with the Manufacturer's Weight Empty guarantees defined in Paragraph 3 shall be demonstrated with reference to a Weight Compliance Report.

5.5
Data derived from tests will be adjusted as required using conventional methods of correction, interpolation or extrapolation in accordance with established aeronautical practices to show compliance with the Guarantees.

5.6
Compliance with the Guarantees is not contingent on engine performance defined in the engine manufacturer's specification.

5.7
The Seller undertakes to furnish the Buyer with a report or reports demonstrating compliance with the Guarantees at, or as soon as possible after, the delivery of each of the Buyer’s Aircraft.
