Key Principle

Where the parties to an aircraft operating lease agree that the lessee's signature of a certificate of acceptance shall be conclusive of the aircraft's compliance with the delivery condition, that agreement gives rise to a contractual estoppel preventing the lessee from later asserting that the aircraft was not in the required (e.g. airworthy) condition at delivery.
