Purely academic question as I am not in any form of lease agreement nor will be in the foreseeable future.

This dialogue of “operational control” is making me realize my understanding may not have been broad enough to appreciate the nuances.

In the interest of their own asset, can a lessor place operational restrictions in the lease agreement that may be more restrictive than the FAR’s or would this be considered “not surrendering operational control?”

Kinda like a mini-opspec to use my plane, type of thing…
