ex a check

Aircraft Industry
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://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.

Selected
coming out of / from / after
In many fields, 'ex' also has the sense of 'coming out of, 'or from', which could be applicable in your case.

: Or "having done" in this case. The internet confirms that this is a specific civil aircraft inspection.

The "a" in your posting is a little misleading, as the "4C/6-year" was omitted, and that was the important element. It wasn't "a check", but a very specific check.
(Page 12)
Although I haven´t checked the details of this presentation you can have a short glimpse on the "naming" of each check. The "D" check is more thoroughly than the "A" check of the short visual check between two flights. So just would like to back the answer of Tony M with this additional reference provided.
Cf. 'a flight ex London' = 'flight coming from London'
