Cohen Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2017 9:02 AM To: 'Tom Mitchell' • Deyoe, David < >; Lee Rohde Cc: Wimer, Ruth <I >; Ada Clapp <->; John Castrucci Subject: RE: Leon Black - Purchase of G650 Understood. If "airworthy" is the typical provision, then this seems fine. I just wondered if there was a higher standard that is sometimes used in contracts. And you are saying that because we are requiring a 48-month inspection as a pre-condition to closing, we can live with a more basic pre-buy inspection, right?

Cohen <->; Deyoe, David < >; Lee Rohde Cc: Wimer, Ruth < >; Ada Clapp <->; John Castrucci Subject: RE: Leon Black - Purchase of G650 Hi Barry, I can take a shot at these questions as others can chime in. There are actually 4 ranking inspections offered by Gulfstream under the task of what we are calling a pre-purchase inspection. I think we should plan to modify which level is most appropriate based on the decision to perform the ancillary tasks like the 48 Month Inspection and bulkhead install. Reason being, is the redundancy is significant with the 48 Month inspection; for example the interior and landing gear is removed and inspected for corrosion, which is also done on the higher level pre-purchase inspections. Therefore, depending on who is funding which inspection, we should manage the process to be most cost effective yet meet the necessary inspection(s). The term airworthy may sound less than stringent, however it is an FAA legal term that is universally used to state that the aircraft must meet its type design; meaning all systems and components must operate as designed. This would include something as small as a reading lamp over a seat. In reality, it is a fairly conservative term with respect to a buyer's interest. An example of a discrepancy that is actually airworthy would normally be wear and tear related such a scratches and cosmetic findings. Regards, Tom From: Barry J.

What are the merits of doing a basic vs. premium pre-buy inspection? • "Airworthy" seems like a pretty low standard. Is that sufficient?
