T/AOPA 0041-2022 The standard for the continuous airworthiness management and asset disposal of civil aircraft under seal and detention

Scope

Scope: This standard applies to civil aircraft that exist in any of the following states within China: a) Seized and/or detained by Chinese judicial authorities; b) Seized and/or detained by Chinese law enforcement administrative authorities, including but not limited to customs, taxation, and public security. The following situations can be referred to for application: a) Detention; b) Unjustified management; c) Other special circumstances. Main technical content: In recent years, it has often happened that the value of civil aircraft has been greatly depreciated due to judicial measures. When civil aircraft are subject to seizure and detention, it is crucial to maintain their airworthiness by implementing measures such as storage, parking, and maintenance in accordance with standard norms. If proper storage, parking, and maintenance measures are not implemented for civil aircraft, it may lead to damage or loss of airworthiness of civil aviation products and components, and the resulting economic losses will generally far exceed the cost of continuous airworthiness management. Conversely, if managed properly, civil aircraft can be quickly put back into use at a low cost, which is not only conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of creditors, but also helpful in maintaining the value of debtors' assets. This standard aims to provide a standardized and effective basic standard for the continuous airworthiness management and asset disposal of seized and detained civil aircraft, promote the protection of the asset value of seized and detained civil aircraft, and reduce the depreciation of civil aircraft assets caused by improper management. This standard can support the use of authorized agencies, authorized disposers, industry associations, commercial enterprises, and other entities in civil aircraft asset management activities, and especially provide a reference basis for judicial authorities in special movable property enforcement work.
