3.2. Chief Inspector, for assurance.

3.3. Approved Maintenance Organization for implementation through different service

providers.

3.4. Flight crews on arriving flights to report occurrences of in-flight icing to the

respective ground engineer who will inform concerned de-icing/anti-icing service

provider. Concerned service provider will perform de-icing/anti-icing under the

direct supervision of the certifying engineer of the approved maintenance

organization.

4. Description:

4.1. Definitions And Interpretations

4.1.1. Frozen Contaminants::


Chapter 5.03




Frozen contaminants include light freezing rain, freezing rain, freezing drizzle,

frost, ice, ice pellets, snow, snow grains, and slush.

4.1.2. The Clean Aircraft Concept:

This concept means that the aircraft is being free of all frozen contaminants

adhering to its critical surfaces.

4.1.3. Ice Detection and Warning System:

Ice Detection and Warning systems are used to confirm that aircraft critical

surfaces are free of adhering frozen contaminants prior to take-off. They shall

also meet aircraft manufacturer, operator, and/or regulatory authority

requirements.

The information provided by these devices give advisory advice to more

accurately estimate the duration of the holdover time; and minimize the need

to return for additional de-icing/anti-icing.

When used to perform an aircraft surfaces check prior to and/or after a

treatment, the Ice Detection and Warning System should be considered a part

of the procedure. It should also be used by appropriately trained personnel.

4.1.4. Anti-icing:

A precautionary procedure used to provide protection against the formation of

frozen contaminants on treated surfaces of the aircraft for a limited period of

time (the holdover time). Anti-icing fluids are normally applied unheated on

clean aircraft surfaces, but may be applied heated, and includes Type I fluid,

concentrates or mixtures of water and Type I, II, III or IV fluid.

4.1.5. Deicing:

A procedure used to remove frozen contaminants from the aircraft in order to

obtain a Clean Aircraft Concept. The procedure can be accomplished using

fluids, infrared energy, mechanical means, or by heating the aircraft. Deicing

fluid is usually applied heated to assure maximum deicing efficiency and

includes heated water, type I fluid, concentrates or mixtures of water and Type

I, II, III or IV fluid..

4.1.6. Equipment Used for De-icing/Anti-icing:

De-icing/anti-icing is carried out by using the heated fluids dispensed from

spray nozzles mounted on specially designed de-icing/anti-icing trucks. To


Chapter 5.03




ensure the reliability of the de-icing operation in relation to function, safety and

performance the following shall be considered:

i. The size and design of the de-icing/anti-icing equipment should be agreed

upon between manufacturer and user, to best meet the different operational

conditions.

ii. Appropriate training of equipment operators to perform a fast, technically safe

and environmentally safe de-icing/anti-icing operation,

iii. The nozzle, application procedure, and spraying techniques have to be observed.

iv. The equipment should be able to handle all types of commercially available

approved de-icing/anti-icing fluids,

v. The selection of equipment for the application of the fluid system is to be

within the fluid manufacturer’s specification and without fluid degradation.

vi. For equipment with mixing systems, the accuracy of the mixing system

should be stated in the service provider's documents. This information allows

to determining the safety margin of the de-icing operation and assures when

examining the mixing system whether it is working properly or not, whether

the accuracy of the fluid mix is within the stated tolerance or not. The service

provider should regularly check the accuracy of the fluid mix at the operating

nozzle.

4.1.7. Holdover Time (HOT), Tables and their Use:

Holdover Time (HOT) is the estimated time that deicing/anti-icing fluid will

prevent the formation of frozen contaminants on the critical surfaces of an

aircraft under all weather conditions.

With a one-step de-icing/anti-icing procedure, the HOT begins when the final

application of de-icing/anti-icing fluid commences and expires when the de-

icing/anti-icing fluid applied to the aircraft loses its effectiveness. With a two-

step procedure, the HOT begins at the commencement of the second (anti-

icing) step. The HOT runs out at the commencement of take-off roll or when

frozen deposits start to form or accumulate on treated aircraft surfaces.

Current and approved published HOT tables shall be implemented by

concerned personnel. These tables contain:

i. List of qualified deicing and anti-icing fluids;


Chapter 5.03




ii. Holdover times for these fluids;

iii. Guidelines for their application, fluid mixtures and minimum concentrations

as a function of outside air temperature;

iv. Their lowest on-wing viscosity values; and

v. Ice pellet allowance times

The times of protection shown in the HOT tables are to be used as guidelines

only.

They shall be used in conjunction with the pre-takeoff check. The

manufacturer’s specific HOT must not be exceeded. However, it may be

required to use more conservative times than those specified in the tables

especially with detrimental weather conditions (e.g., temperature, wind velocity

and direction, precipitation and relative humidity). HOT is also affected by the

airplane surroundings, such as operation in close proximity to other airplanes

(jet blast), ground equipment and structures.

During certain weather conditions, such as heavy snow and heavy freezing

rain these tables will not apply. Thus, a take-off under these conditions is

prohibited.

After a de/anti-icing treatment a take-off is permitted provided the time

between end of the treatment and take-off does not exceed the times

mentioned in the HOT tables for the mentioned weather conditions.

4.1.8. De-icing/Anti-icing Methods:

De-icing/anti-icing fluids shall be applied close to the skin of the aircraft to

minimize heat loss. Procedures of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual shall be

strictly adhered to. Spraying usually starts with the fuselage and covers the

aircraft critical surfaces as follows, list not exhaustive:

i. Fuselage: Spray along the top centre line and then outboard. Avoid

spraying directly on windows.

ii. Wings, Flaps, Spoilers and Horizontal Stabilizers: Spray from the leading

edge towards the trailing edge, and from the highest point of the surface

camber to the lowest point, unless otherwise may be required.

iii. Vertical Surfaces. Start at the top and work downwards, spraying from the

leading edge toward the trailing edge.

iv. Landing Gear and Wheel Bays. Keep application of de-icing/anti-icing fluid

in this area to a minimum. High pressure spraying is not recommended.

Don’t spray directly onto brakes/wheels.

v. Engines/APUs. Avoid spraying fluids into engines or APUs air intakes.

Consult manufactures’ recommendations. Ensure that engines are free to

rotate before start up and that the front and back of fan blades are free of

ice.

vi. Air-conditioning bleed systems must be switched off during de-icing/anti-

icing operations. Don’t spray directly onto exhausts or thrust reversers.

vii. Sensor, Probes and Antennas. Avoid spraying directly onto pitot heads,

static vents, detector probes and angle of attack sensors.

De-icing/anti-icing can be carried out as a one-step process using heated de-

icing/anti-icing fluid to both de-ice and anti-ice at the same time or as two

separate step process, one to de-ice and the second to anti-ice. The second

step shall be applied, before the first step fluid freezes, typically within three

minutes and, if necessary, area by area. Selection of the one or two step

process depends on weather conditions, available equipment, available fluids,

mixtures, fluid temperature, pressure, aircraft related limits and HOT.

When using thickened de-icing/anti-icing fluids, the two step procedure is

preferred.

The aircraft shall be de-iced/anti-iced as close to its departure time and/or

departure runway as possible.

4.1.9. De-Icing/Anti-Icing Check Procedures:

A visual or physical check of critical aircraft surfaces to confirm that a

treatment has been effective and that the aircraft complies with the Clean

Aircraft Concept must be carried out before the aircraft can be safely

dispatched. These checks are as follows:

i. Prior to the application of de-icing/anti-icing fluids a walk-around or pre-flight

check is to be accomplished by the ground crew. The airplane critical

surfaces shall be checked for frozen contaminants. If frozen contaminants

are discovered, de-icing/Anti-icing of the aircraft must be carried out.


Chapter 5.03




ii. The Post Deicing/Anti-icing Check: This check is an integral part of the

deicing/anti-icing process and is made by the service provider after

deicing/anti-icing application to ensure all critical parts of the aircraft are

free from any frozen contaminants. This check is performed from points

offering sufficient visibility of these parts (e.g. from the deicing equipment

itself or another elevated piece of equipment).

The Pre-takeoff Check: This check is carried out following the application of

de-icing/anti-icing fluids and within the HOT by the flight crew, from inside or

outside the aircraft, depending on the type of aircraft. It is made to ensure

that the critical surfaces of the aircraft as determined by aircraft

manufacturer are free from frozen contaminants before pushback or taxi.

This check shall be accomplished as close to the time of takeoff as possible

and is normally made by visually checking the wings or other surfaces.

Several pre-takeoff checks may be required during the HOT period based

on factors that include the length of the HOT, weather, or other conditions.

The pre-takeoff check is integral to the use of HOTs. Specific techniques for

identification of clear ice, which will be difficult to recognize, should be

included in all training programs.

iii. The Pre-takeoff Contamination Check (when HOT has been exceeded or

when the condition of the critical surfaces of the airplane cannot be

effectively assessed by a pre-take-off check or if any doubt exists of the

affectivity of anti-icing) and is performed by flight crew and/or other qualified

ground personnel and must be completed within 5 minutes before beginning

takeoff to assure the Clean Aircraft Concept just before commencing take-

off roll.. This check is accomplished when conditions are such that frozen

contaminants may reasonably be expected to adhere to the aircraft. If any

doubt exists concerning the aircraft’s condition after completing this check

as to whether or not any deposit may adversely affect the aircraft’s

performance, or if the check cannot be performed just prior take-off, a new

complete deicing/ anti-icing treatment should be made and a new HOT is

determined.


Chapter 5.03




Special methods and/or equipment may be necessary to perform any check at

night time or in extreme adverse weather conditions.

i. In all checks, the check performer should assure that he is able to see

enough of the wings, control surfaces, and other surfaces to determine

whether or not they are free of contaminants.

4.1.10. Implementation:

i. At each airport where operations are expected to be conducted in

conditions conductive to ground icing, an agreement shall be made with a

service provider who is appropriately qualified for providing the ground

deicing/anti-icing services.

ii. During service performance, the service provider shall co-ordinate with the

appropriate airport authorities whenever such co-ordination is needed.

iii. Refer to the applicable deicing and anti-icing procedures for the aircraft type

in the Aircraft Manufacturer Maintenance Manual and the Operations

Manual.

iv. The person in charge of the de-icing/anti-icing procedure is responsible for

accomplishing this procedure and verifying the results of the de-icing/anti-

icing treatment. The de-icing/anti-icing application information reported to

the flight crew is part of the technical airworthiness of the aircraft. The

person responsible for the de-icing/anti-icing process must be clearly

designated. He shall check the aircraft for the need to de-ice, initiate de-

icing/anti-icing, if required, and shall be responsible for the correct and

complete de-icing/anti-icing treatment of the aircraft.

4.1.11. Communications

i. Two way communications through Intercom or VHF should be established

to relay pertinent deicing/anti icing information and the results of checks to

the flight crew. In case of VHF the aircraft registration number shall be

used. Standard terminology shall be used during these communications.

ii. Before commencing deicing/anti-icing operations communication between

ground personnel and the flight crew to a) verify that the airplane is properly

configured for deicing in accordance with the manufacturer’s

recommendations and, b) confirm the fluid to be used, c) confirm the extent


Chapter 5.03




of treatment required, and d) acknowledge any aircraft type specific

procedures to be used.

iii. Upon completion of deicing/anti-icing treatment and the associated post

deicing/anti-icing check of the aircraft the ground person that performed the

check shall provide the flight crew with the treatment the aircraft has

received and confirm that the aircraft is in compliance with the Clean

Aircraft Concept (to determine the start of the HOT). Data is to be in the

following sequence and is to be appropriately recorded:

a. Type of fluid used.

b. Percentage of de-icing/anti-icing fluid in the fluid/water mixture, e.g. “100”

for 100% fluid, “75” for 75% fluid and 25% water.

c. Local time, in hours and minutes, the beginning of the final de-icing/anti-

icing step.

d. Date: day, month and year (only required for record keeping).

Note: When a two-step de-icing/anti-icing operation has been carried out, the

second step fluid data is applied.

iv. Prior to departure, the flight crew must receive an “All Clear” signal from the

ground crew that it’s safe to taxi.

Whenever de-icing has taken place, the pilot / respective engineer must

make an appropriate entry in Technical Log showing the times of start and

completion of the de-icing process.

4.1.12. Ground Training & Qualification

i. Ground personnel shall be appropriately trained and qualified on required

deicing and anti-icing operations, in accordance with the approved

procedures and the published deicing safety standards at specific deicing

locations.

ii. Ground personnel must be able to adequately read, speak, and understand

English in order to follow written and oral procedures applicable to the

deicing/anti-icing program.
