Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 11076 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee SC 9, Air cargo and ground equipment. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 11076:2000), which has been technically revised.

Version 2 Oct2017


Introduction Annexes A and B of this International Standard provide guidelines for the application of different types of deicing/anti-icing fluids as a function of outside air temperature and of weather conditions. These data require frequent updating. ISO/TC 20/SC 9 has agreed to delegating this task under its own guidance to the Association of European Airlines (AEA) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), which are organizations recognized as experts in the field of de-icing/anti-icing aircraft on the ground.

Website: http://www.sae.org/. 3.10 clear ice layer of pure, transparent, homogeneous, hard and smooth ice bonded to a surface 3.11 cold soaking Ice can form even when the outside air temperature (OAT) is well above 0 °C (32 °F). An aircraft equipped with wing fuel tanks may have fuel that is at a sufficiently low temperature such that it lowers the wing skin temperature to below the freezing point of water. If an aircraft has been at a high altitude, where cold temperature prevails, for a period of time, the aircrafts’ major structural components such as the wing, tail, and fuselage will assume the lower temperature, which will often be below the freezing point. This phenomenon is known as cold soaking. While on the ground, the cold soaked aircraft will cause ice to form when liquid water, either as condensation from the atmosphere or as rain, comes in contact with cold soaked surfaces. 3.12 cold soaked clear ice This is the formation of ice, normally in the area of the wing fuel tanks, caused by the cold soak effect. Clear ice is very difficult to be detected visually and may break loose during or after takeoff, and poses a hazard particularly to aircraft with rear fuselage mounted engines. 3.13 cold soaked fuel frost This is the formation of frost, normally in the area of the wing fuel tanks, caused by the cold soak effect. 3.14

Version 2 Oct2017


cold-soaked wing condition of the wings of aircraft when they have (partly) a very low temperature due to very cold fuel (below 0 °C) in the wing tanks NOTE This condition can result from having just landed after a flight at high altitude or from having been refueled with very cold fuel. The following factors contribute to cold-soaking: temperature and quantity of fuel in fuel tanks, type and location of fuel cells, length of time at high altitude, temperature of refueling fuel and time since refueling. 3.15 cold-soaked wing ice/frost Water, visible moisture, or humidity forming ice or frost on the wing surface, when the temperature of the aircraft wing surface is at or below 0 °C (32 °F).

3.16 contamination all forms of frozen or semi-frozen moisture deposits on an aircraft such as frost, snow, ice or slush 3.17 contamination check check of aircraft surfaces for contamination to establish the need for de-icing 3.18 de-icing procedure by which frost, ice, slush or snow is removed from an aircraft in order to provide clean surfaces 3.19 de-icing/anti-icing combination of the de-icing and anti-icing procedures NOTE It may be performed in one or two steps.

Version 2 Oct2017


Heated mixture of water and Type II, Type III, or Type IV fluid. NOTE The effect of unheated deicing fluid is minimal. 3.26 freezing drizzle fairly uniform precipitation composed exclusively of fine drops [diameter less than 0,5 mm (0,02 in)] very close together which freezes upon impact with the ground or other exposed objects

3.27

freezing fog suspension of numerous minute water droplets which freezes upon impact with ground or other exposed objects. NOTE: Freezing fog generally reduces the horizontal visibility at the earth's surface to less than 1 km (0,62 mile). 3.28 frost/hoarfrost ice crystals that form from ice-saturated air at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) by direct sublimation on the ground or other exposed objects 3.29 freezing rain (light) Precipitation of liquid water particles which freezes upon impact with the ground or other exposed objects, either in the form of drops of more than 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) or smaller drops which, in contrast to drizzle, are widely separated. Measured intensity of liquid water particles is up to 2.5 mm/h (0.10 in/h) or 25 g/dm2/h with a maximum of 0.25 mm (0.01 inch) in 6 minutes. 3.30 hail

precipitation of small balls or pieces of ice with a diameter ranging from 5 to 50 mm (0,2 to 2,0 in.) falling

either separately or agglomerated 3.31 holdover time estimated time for which an anti-icing fluid will prevent the formation of frost or ice and the accumulation of snow on the protected surfaces of an aircraft, under weather conditions as specified in the holdover time guidelines NOTE See annexes. 3.32 ice pellets precipitation of transparent (grains of ice), or translucent (small hail) pellets of ice, which are spherical or irregular, and which have a diameter of 5 mm (0,2 in.) or less.

NOTE: The pellets of ice usually bounce when hitting hard ground

3.33 light freezing rain precipitation of liquid water particles, which freezes upon impact with the ground or other exposed objects, either in the form of drops of more than 0,5 mm (0,02 in) or smaller drops which, in contrast to drizzle, are widely separated. NOTE Measured intensity of liquid water particles is up to 2,5 mm/h (0,10 in/h) or 25 g/dm2/h with a maximum of 0,25 mm (0,010 in) in 6 min.

Version 2 Oct2017


3.34 local frost build-up limited formation of frost in local wing areas sub-cooled by cold fuel or large masses of cold metal NOTE This type of frost does not cover the entire wing. 3.35 lowest operational use temperature (LOUT): the higher (warmer) of:

• The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test (according to AS5900) for a given type (high speed or low speed) of aircraft, or,

• The freezing point of the fluid plus the buffer of 10 °C (18 °F) for Type I fluid and 7 °C (13 °F) for Type II,

III, or IV fluids

For applicable values, refer to the fluid manufacturer’s documentation. 3.36 moderate and heavy freezing rain precipitation of liquid water particles, either in the form of drops of more than 0,5 mm (0,02 inch) or smaller drops which (in contrast to drizzle) are widely separated, which freezes upon impact with the ground. NOTE Measured intensity of liquid water particles is more than 2,5 mm/h (0,10 in/h) or 25 g/dm2/h. 3.37 negative buffer A negative buffer exists when the freezing point of a deicing fluid is above the OAT (see Tables 1 or 2 for “first step” application limits). 3.38 operator “AOC-holder” (Air Operator Certificate holder) in accordance with civil aviation regulations 3.39 proximity sensor A proximity sensor is a safety feature on some models of deicing equipment, that upon activation disengages relevant systems, preventing equipment movement and damage from occurring due to physical contact between equipment components (e.g., spray nozzle, forced air nozzle, operator basket, etc.) and aircraft surfaces. As a safety mechanism, the proximity sensor is designed to prevent damage from occurring to aircraft surfaces, normally while the equipment chassis is in a stationary position (not maneuvering). Where equipped, the type of sensor used may vary by design, and may activate either by physical contact (e.g., a proximity switch with contact mechanism), or by non-physical activation (e.g., infrared, radar, etc.). 3.40 qualified staff Trained staff who have passed theoretical and practical training tests and have been certified for performing this type of job, see AS6286 training and qualification program. 3.41 rain or high humidity (on cold-soaked wing) water forming ice or frost on the wing surface, when the temperature of the aircraft wing surface is at or below 0 °C (32 °F)

3.42

rain and snow (mixture) precipitation in the form of a mixture of rain and snow

Version 2 Oct2017


3.43

refractive index Refractive index is the comparative speed of light in different transparent media. The difference in this speed leads to refraction (bending of the light) which can be used to measure the composition of the media. In the case of water and glycol mixture, this refraction can be used to accurately determine the percentage of glycol in the water 3.44

refractometer An optical instrument designed to measure the refractive index of water soluble fluids. 3.45

residue/gel A buildup of dried out thickened fluids typically found in aerodynamically quiet areas of the aircraft. 3.46

rime ice Small, frozen, spherical water droplets, opaque/milky and granular in appearance, which looks similar to frost in a freezer; typically rime ice has low adhesion to the surface and its surrounding rime ice particles. 3.47 slush snow or ice that has been reduced to a soft watery mixture 3.48 snow precipitation of ice crystals, most of which are branched, star-shaped or mixed with unbranched crystals NOTE At temperatures higher than 5 °C (23 °F), the crystals are generally agglomerated into snowflakes.

3.49 snow grains precipitation of very small white and opaque particles of ice that are fairly flat or elongated with a diameter of less than 1 mm (0,04 in) NOTE 1 When snow grains hit hard ground, they do not bounce or shatter. NOTE 2 For holdover-time purposes, treat snow grains as snow.

3.50 snow pellets precipitation of white, opaque particles of ice, round or sometimes conical, with a diameter range from about 2 mm to 5 mm (0,08 in to 0,2 in) NOTE Snow pellets are brittle, easily crushed; they bounce and may break on hard ground.

3.51 storage tank A vessel for holding fluid that can be fixed, or mobile; includes rolling tanks (ISO tanks), totes, trailers, or drums.

3.52 tactile check A tactile check requires a person to touch specific aircraft surfaces. Tactile checks, under certain circumstances, may be the only way of confirming the critical surfaces of an aircraft are not contaminated. For some aircraft, tactile checks are mandatory as part of the deicing/anti-icing check process to ensure the critical surfaces are free of frozen contaminants.

5 General requirements Aircraft ground de-icing/anti-icing methods shall comply with this International Standard, the ICAO Manual of aircraft ground de-icing/anti-icing operations (Doc. 9640-AN/940), the applicable national civil aviation regulations (CAR 602.11 and 622.11, JAR-OPS 1.345 and ACJ 1.345, FAR 14 CFR 121.629 and (AC 120-60) SAE ARP 4737H and any applicable local rules. The various local rules concerning aircraft cold-weather operations are very specific and shall be strictly adhered to. A pilot shall not take off in an aircraft that has: a) frost, snow, slush or ice present on any propeller, windscreen or power-plant installation or on airspeed, altimeter, rate of climb or flight-altitude instrument systems; b) snow, slush or ice adhering to the wings, stabilizers, control surfaces or fuselage, in gaps between the airframe and control surfaces or in gaps between control surfaces and control tabs, or any frost on the upper surfaces of wings, stabilizers or control surfaces. For this reason, a contamination check of the aircraft surfaces shall be performed prior to departure.

6 Quality assurance program All companies providing deicing/anti-icing services shall have a Quality Program. The purpose of the program is to ensure that deicing/anti-icing of aircraft on the ground is accomplished in accordance with regulatory requirements and guidance, industry standards and the operator’s program. To verify effectiveness of the deicing/anti-icing of aircraft on the ground, the Quality Program should include both Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) processes and procedures. 6.1 Quality assurance To meet Quality Assurance (QA) requirements, a company must provide proof it follows the rules and instructions in any specific field correctly and that it has a proper and efficient Quality Control Program. Quality Assurance is confirmed by auditing. Sometimes ‘Audit Pools’ are formed so that companies are not audited several times on the same process by different entities; for example: IATA’s Deicing/Anti-icing Quality Control Pool (DAQCP). All companies should have a Quality Assurance Program in place. Quality assurance programs shall follow the standards published in AS6332. 6.2 Station Quality Control Program A Quality Control Program shall cover all aspects of aircraft ground deicing/anti-icing and shall include, but is not limited to, the following checks:

• procedure and instructions up-to-date

• responsibilities and tasks clearly defined and up-to-date

• communication procedures/protocols up-to-date

• all personnel trained and qualified

• the quality of deicing/anti-icing fluid from all storage tanks, all equipment tanks and all spray nozzles are within limits

• correct and safe functioning of deicing/anti-icing spray equipment

• correct and safe functioning of (remote/centralized) deicing/anti-icing facility if applicable

• reporting methods and reports up-to-date Note: prior to the start of each winter, perform all above listed checks. Note: during each winter season perform quality control checks on deicing/anti-icing fluids from all spray nozzles at operations settings on a regular basis and file test results till the start of the next winter period. 6.3 Fluid Quality Control Checks To ensure the necessary safety margins are maintained in the de-icing/anti-icing operation, the fluid used to both de-ice and anti-ice aircraft surfaces, must meet specification and be at the correct concentration. Factors like pumping, storing, heating, and spraying may cause degradation/contamination of de-icing/anti-icing fluids.

Version 2 Oct2017

6.3.6 Fluid sampling procedure of Type II, II, or IV Fluids To ensure that the necessary safety margins are maintained between the start of the deicing/anti-icing operation and takeoff, the fluid used to both de-ice and anti-ice aircraft surfaces must meet specification and be at the correct concentration. Due to the possible effect of vehicle/equipment heating and/or delivery system components on fluid condition, it is necessary for the sampling method to simulate typical aircraft application. This section describes some methods for collecting samples of Type II, III, and IV fluids, sprayed from operational aircraft deicing/anti-icing vehicles and equipment, prior to the necessary quality control checks being carried out.

a. Method using a purpose built stand Spray the fluid onto a purpose built stand, consisting of a suitable plate (for application) and an associated fluid collection system. In the absence of such a stand, a suitable apparatus can be used. The distance between the spray nozzle and the surface shall be approximately 1 to 3 m, and the fluid shall be sprayed perpendicular to the surface. By following this simple procedure, a representative nozzle sample can be obtained. If there are any questions about the de-icing fluid, contact and consult the fluid manufacturer. If there are any questions about the de-icing vehicle or unit, pump, pump pressure, etc., consult the ground service equipment shop or the vehicle manufacturer.

• Select the required flow rate/spray pattern for the fluid to be sampled simulating routine operations.

• Spray the fluid to purge the lines and check the concentration of a sample, taken from the gun/nozzle after purging.

• Should the refractive index indicate that the lines have not been adequately purged, repeat the previous step until the concentration is correct for the fluid to be sampled (on certain vehicles it may be necessary to spray more than 50 L of fluid, before the lines are completely purged).

• Direct the fluid onto the sampling surface and spray an adequate amount of fluid to allow for a 1L sample to be taken.

b. Trash can method: items required:

• Large garbage cans, buckets, or 55-gallon drums

• Large trash can liners

• Sample bottle that is clean and dry Procedure for nozzle sample:

• Set trash cans out and put two liners in each trash can.

• Weigh the trash can down with sand or blocks.

• Stand about +1 to 3 m or 4 to 10 feet away from the cans.

• Open the nozzle and spray into one of the trash cans so that the lines are purged of any old fluid.

• When the line has been purged, move the nozzle to the next trash can, keeping the nozzle open.

• Do not close the nozzle and restart as that will shear the fluid.

• Spray 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 L) into the second trash can.

• Pull the liner out and put a small hole in bottom of bag to fill the sample bottle. c. Sample identification

Attach a label to each sample bottle providing the following data:

• Manufacturer's brand name and full name and type of the fluid (e.g., Kilfrost ABC-3/Type II)

Version 2 Oct2017


• Identification of deicing/anti-icing equipment (e.g., Elephant Beta DT04, Fixed Rig R001, etc.)

• Detail where the sample was taken from (e.g., nozzle, storage tank, or equipment tank)

• Mixture strength (e.g., 100/0, 75/25, etc.)

• Station (e.g., BAK, etc.)

• Date sample was taken *Forced Air Deicing a.General. FAS are designed to remove frozen contamination by the use of forced airand/or forced air augmented with Type I fluid injected into or sprayed over a high-speed airstream, or to apply Types II, III, or IV fluids over the airstream as an anti-icing process. In the case of Type I fluids, aircraft surfaces must be anti-iced with heated Type I fluid without using forced air if Type I HOTs are to be used. Depending on the specific system, the operator may be able to select from several FAS modes, including: •Forced air alone. •Forced air augmented with Type I fluid. •Types II, III, or IV fluids applied over the forced air stream. Note: Detailed Information on forced air is found in the QRH

8 Requirements for fluid handling

8.1 Environment De-icing/anti-icing fluid is a chemical product with environmental impact. During fluid handling, avoid any unnecessary spillage and comply with local environmental and health laws and the manufacturer's safety data sheet.

8.2 Fluid acceptance 8.2.1 General Fluid acceptance will require the fluid manufacturer’s release documentation (e.g. certificate of conformance, certificate of analysis) from the supplier, visual inspection and a verification to check if the correct fluid is delivered. It is recommended that the winter operations programme ensures and verifies that de-icing/anti-icing fluids are not degraded beyond the fluid manufacturer’s limits. 8.2.2 Fluid sampling procedure for type II, type III, or type IV fluids 8.2.2.1 Introduction To ensure that the necessary safety margins are maintained between the start of the de-icing/anti-icing operation and take-off, the fluid used to both de-ice and anti-ice aircraft surfaces, shall be in an “ex-fluid manufacturer's” condition and at the correct concentration. Due to the possible effect of vehicle/equipment heating and/or delivery-system components on fluid condition, it is necessary for the sampling method to simulate typical aircraft application.

Version 2 Oct2017


This section therefore describes the approved methods for collecting samples of type II, III, and IV fluids, sprayed from operational aircraft de-icing/anti-icing vehicles/equipment, prior to the necessary quality control checks (see 8.2.3) being carried out. 8.2.2.2 Method

The application is made on a clean polythene sheet (approximately 2 m 2 m) laid directly on the ground, or on

an aluminum plate with associated recovery system (an equivalent method may be used providing correlating spraying tests are done). Depending on wind speed/direction at the time of sampling the polythene sheet may require to be weighted down at the edges to prevent movement. The distance between the spray nozzle and the surface shall be approximately 3 m and the fluid shall be sprayed perpendicular to the surface. Where different spray patterns and flow rates are used during routine de-icing/anti-icing operations, samples shall be taken at typical nozzle settings (e.g. fine, medium or coarse) and flow rates for anti-icing. 8.2.2.3 Procedure Select the required flow rate/spray pattern for the fluid to be sampled. Spray the fluid to purge the lines and check the concentration of a sample, taken from the gun/nozzle after purging. Should the refractive index indicate that the lines have not been adequately purged, repeat previous step until the concentration is correct for the fluid to be sampled (on certain vehicles it may be necessary to spray more than 50/g of fluid before the lines are completely purged).Direct the fluid on to the sampling surface and spray an adequate amount of fluid to allow for a 1 l sample to be taken Where a polythene sheet is used for sampling purposes, carefully lift the corners of the sheet and collect 1/g of the fluid in a clean and dry bottle.

WARNING: THE USE OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL IS PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES

8.2.2.4 Reference fluid For reference purposes, take a 1 l sample of the base fluid from the storage facility and a 1 l sample from the fluid tank of the de-icing/anti-icing equipment/vehicle being sampled. 8.2.2.5 Identification of samples Attach to each sample a label carrying the following data:

The sample shall be protected against precipitation. Perform a refractive index check according to 8.2.3.6.2. For trucks without a mixing system, samples may be taken from the truck tank instead of the nozzle. For trucks with proportional mixing systems, operational setting for flow and pressure shall be used. Allow the selected fluid concentration to stabilize before taking sample (see also 8.2.2.3). For trucks with an automated fluid mixture monitoring system, the interval for refractive index checks shall be determined by the handling company in accordance with the system design. 8.2.3.3.2 Checks on (directly or indirectly) heated fluids Fluid or fluid/water mixture samples shall be taken from the de-icing/anti-icing vehicle tanks. As a guideline, the interval should not exceed two weeks, but it may be adjusted in accordance with local experience. Perform a refractive index check in accordance with 8.2.3.6.2. 8.2.3.4 Laboratory checks for fluids The laboratory checks shall be performed for the fluids at the start of the de-icing season and upon request by the airline. Fluid samples shall be taken from all de-icing/anti-icing vehicle spray nozzles of all vehicles and from all storage tanks in use.

check for any kind of contamination (e.g. rust particles, metallic debris, rubber parts, etc.);

the check can be made by any equivalent method.

8.2.3.6.2 Refractive-index check (Use form UAD 8.2.3.6 to perform monthly refract check on storage tanker)

Make sure the refractometer is calibrated and clean; (Note: Refractometer calibration is completed by an

off-site laboratory)

put a fluid drop taken from the sample or from the nozzle on to the test screen of the refractometer and

close the prism;

read the value on the internal scale and use the correction factor given by the manufacturer of the fluid in case

Note: All fluid checks are conducted in accordance with Fluid Mfg. Specifications 8.2.3.6.2 Refractive-index check (cont’d)

compare the value with the figures from the fluid manufacturer;

clean the refractometer and return it into the protective cover;


The refractive index check is performed upon receipt of fluid delivery from the manufacturer. If index readings are found to be outside of the manufacturer’s acceptable range, the fluid shipment must not be accepted, and the fluid must be reverted to the manufacturer. Refractive-index checks are carried out prior to deicing. Samples are taken from vehicle nozzles and are recorded on the work order form. If the index falls outside of the manufacturer’s range, an additional sample is taken from the truck’s tank and is also compared to the manufacturer’s range to isolate the cause of the refractive-index reading. If both location readings fall outside of the manufacturer’s range, a different calibrated refractometer must be used to conduct both readings again. If all readings are found to be out of range, all the fluid must be flushed from the truck’s system. The Director of Quality Assurance must be contacted and advised of findings to determine the root cause of findings. If a discrepancy is found during the refractive-index check, the following procedures must be followed: 1. Confirm batch number on test report corresponds to the sample submitted 2. Sample findings and type of tests performed are compared to manufacturer’s certificate of analysis 3. Confirm fluid tests are within the acceptable manufacturer’s refractive index range to reconfirm the findings

Version 2 Oct2017


Note: All fluid analysis checks mentioned above are conducted by

Kilfrost Inc., Clariant Corp & Laboratory Service Inc.

8.3 Mixing of different products Different products shall not be mixed without additional qualification testing.

8.4 Storage 8.4.1 Tanks dedicated to the storage of de-icing/anti-icing fluids shall be used. 8.4.2 Storage tanks shall be of materials compatible with the de-icing/anti-icing fluids, as specified by the fluid manufacturer (corrosion-resistant steel, plastic, etc.). Care should be taken to avoid using dissimilar metals in contact with each other, as galvanic couples may form and degrade thickened fluids. 8.4.3 Tanks shall be conspicuously labeled to avoid contamination. 8.4.4 Tanks shall be inspected annually for corrosion and/or contamination. If corrosion or contamination is evident, tanks shall be maintained to standard or be replaced. To prevent corrosion at the liquid/vapour interface and in the vapour space, a high liquid level in the tanks is recommended. NOTE If the quality of the fluids is checked in accordance with 8.2.3, the inspection interval may be longer than one year. ( Use form UAD 8.4 for pre tank inspection prior to start of deicing season)

8.4.5 The storage temperature limits shall comply with the manufacturer's guidelines. 8.4.6 The stored fluid shall be checked routinely to insure that no degradation/contamination has taken place.

8.5 Pumping De-icing/anti-icing fluids can show degradation caused by excessive mechanical shearing. Therefore, only compatible pumps and spraying nozzles shall be used. The design of the pumping systems shall be in accordance with the fluid manufacturer's recommendations.

8.6 Transfer lines Dedicated transfer lines shall be conspicuously labeled to prevent contamination and shall be compatible with the de-icing/anti-icing fluids to be transferred.

8.7 Heating De-icing/anti-icing fluids shall be heated according to the fluid manufacturer's guidelines. For type I fluids, water loss may cause undesirable aerodynamic effects. For type II, III and IV fluids thermal exposure and/or water loss may cause a reduction in fluid viscosity leading to lower holdover times. The fluids shall be checked periodically in accordance with 8.2.3. CAUTION — Avoid unnecessary heating of fluid in vehicle tanks. Prolonged or repeated heating of fluids (directly or indirectly) may result in loss of water which can lead to performance degradation of the fluid. Any of the following situations or a combination of them can accelerate the fluid performance degradation: a) low fluid consumption; b) trucks being in standby mode with heating system on for extended periods of time; c) high temperatures in fluid tanks; d) high temperatures in water tanks that are in direct contact with the fluid tanks (no insulation between tanks).

8.8 Application 8.8.1 Application equipment shall meet the requirements of ISO 11077 and be cleaned thoroughly before being initially filled with a de-icing/anti-icing fluid in order to prevent fluid contamination. 8.8.2 De-icing/anti-icing fluid in trucks shall not be heated in confined or poorly ventilated areas. 8.8.3 The quality of the fluid at the spray nozzle shall be checked periodically.

Version 2 Oct2017


9 Contamination check This is a check for the need to de-ice. This check shall include the areas mentioned in 12.1 to 12.8 and any other as recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. It shall be performed from points offering sufficient visibility of these parts (e.g. from the de-icing vehicle itself or any other suitable piece of equipment). Any contamination found, except frost mentioned in 12.2 and 12.8, shall be removed by a de-icing treatment. If anti-icing is also required, this treatment may be performed as a one-step or two-step de-icing/anti-icing of the relevant surfaces.

9.1 Engine Contamination check Engine inlets and fan blades, aeroplane probes and sensors and other external aeroplane instruments need de-icing in some cases (based on the aeroplane operators instructions). Engine inlets can generally be cleaned with a brush or manually by hand. Engine covers may be installed after engine shut down in order to minimise engine ice build up (refer to airline operator and engine manufacturer instructions). Fan blades and the bottom of the engine air inlet needs to be de-iced with hot air (noting manufacturer recommended temperature limits), or other means recommended by the engine manufacturer. No de-icing fluid is to be sprayed into engines. Propellers may have ice along the leading edges and/or may collect snow/slush along the side during a ground stop. This contamination can be removed manually with a soft cloth or by hand. Some manufacturers allow the propellers to be sprayed but some forbid the use of glycol. Hot air, or other means recommended by the engine manufacturer, can be used for de-icing propellers (composite propellers have temperature limits that must be noted). Aeroplane external instruments, probes and sensors may need de-icing and this should be performed using aeroplane operators procedures in accordance with the aeroplane manufacturer (e.g. aeroplanes own de-icing system, manually or hot air). This task shall only be performed or supervised by properly trained and qualified (as applicable) personnel. 9.2 Engine Contamination Removal Deposits of snow should be mechanically removed from engine intakes prior to departure. Any frozen deposits that may have bonded to either the lower surface of the intake or the fan blades may be removed by hot air or other means recommended by the engine manufacturer. If use of deicing fluid is permitted, do not spray directly into engine core. If using deicing fluid the spray pattern has to be in a mist form and not more than 15-20 psi from nozzle. This has to be supervised and authorized by a certified aircraft maintenance representative from the respective carrier. 10 Procedures 10.1 Need for de-icing/anti-icing The following procedures specify the recommended methods for de-icing and anti-icing of aircraft on the ground to provide an aerodynamically clean aircraft. When aircraft surfaces are contaminated by frozen moisture, they shall be de-iced prior to dispatch. When freezing precipitation exists and there is a risk of contamination adhering to the surfaces at the time of dispatch, aircraft surfaces shall be anti-iced. If both de-icing and anti-icing are required, the procedure may be performed in one or two steps (see 3.13). The selection of a one- or two-step process depends upon weather conditions, available equipment, available fluids and the holdover time to be achieved. If a one-step procedure is used, then both 10.2 and 10.3 apply. De-icing/anti-icing location: de-icing/anti-icing as close as possible to the beginning of the departure runway provides the minimum interval between de-icing/anti-icing and take-off. NOTE 1 Slippery conditions can exist on the ground or equipment following the de-icing/anti-icing procedures.

For guidance regarding fluid limitations, see 11.1. NOTE 2 Where holdover time is critical, a two-step procedure using undiluted type II, III or IV fluid for the second step should always be considered.

10.2 De-icing 10.2.1 General Ice, snow, slush or frost may be removed from aircraft surfaces by heated fluids, mechanical methods,

Version 2 Oct2017


alternate technologies or combinations thereof. The following procedures shall be used for their removal when using fluids and/or infrared de-icing. NOTE 1 Alternate technology can be used to accomplish the de-icing process, provided that the requirements in Clause 12 be accomplished. NOTE 2 A pre-step process can be done prior to de-icing/anti-icing. If agreed to by the aircraft operator, a pre-step process prior to the de-icing process, in order to remove large amounts of frozen contamination (e.g. snow, slush or ice), can be considered to reduce the quantity of glycol-based de-icing fluid needed. This pre-step process can be performed with various means (e.g. brooms, forced air, heat, heated water, heated fluids with negative buffer freezing point). If the pre-step procedure is used, make sure that the subsequent de-icing process removes all frozen contamination including the contamination that may have formed on surfaces and or in cavities due to the pre-step process.

10.2.2 Requirements Ice, snow, slush and frost shall be removed from aircraft surfaces prior to dispatch or prior to anti-icing. 10.2.3 De-icing with fluids 10.2.3.1 General This section establishes the procedures for removal of frozen contamination by fluids. For maximum effect, fluids should be applied close to the surface of the aircraft skin to minimize heat loss. NOTE: The heat in the fluid effectively melts any frost, as well as light deposits of snow, slush and ice. Heavier accumulations require the heat to break the bond between the frozen deposits and the structure; the hydraulic force of the fluid spray is then used to flush off the residue. The de-icing fluid will prevent refreezing for a period of time depending on aircraft-skin and ambient temperature, the fluid used, the mixture strength and the weather.

10.2.3.2 Removal of frost and light ice A nozzle setting giving a solid cone (fan) spray should be used. NOTE This ensures the largest droplet pattern available, thus retaining the maximum heat in the fluid. Providing the hot fluid is applied close to the aircraft skin, a minimal amount of fluid will be required to melt the deposit.

10.2.3.3 Removal of snow A nozzle setting sufficient to flush off deposits and minimize foam production is recommended. Foam could be confused as snow. The procedure adopted will depend on the equipment available and the depth and type of snow, i.e. light and dry or wet and heavy. In general, the heavier the deposits the heavier the fluid flow that will be required to remove it effectively and efficiently from the aircraft surfaces. For light deposits of both wet and dry snow, similar procedures as for frost removal may be adopted. Wet snow is more difficult to remove than dry snow and unless deposits are relatively light, selection of high fluid flow will be found to be more effective. Under certain conditions it will be possible to use the heat, combined with the hydraulic force of the fluid spray to melt and subsequently flush off frozen deposits. However, where snow has bonded to the aircraft skin, the procedures detailed in 10.2.3.4 should be utilized. Heavy accumulation of snow will always be difficult to remove from aircraft surfaces and vast quantities of fluid will invariably be consumed in the attempt. Under these conditions, serious consideration should be given to removing the worst of the snow manually before attempting a normal de-icing procedure.

10.2.3.3 Mechanical Method: The removal of snow and ice from an aircraft using equipment such as a snow-broom, squeegee, rope or other approved economical method. 10.2.3.3a Engine Contamination Removal: Deposits of snow should be mechanically removed from engine intakes prior to departure. Any frozen deposits that may have bonded to either the lower surface of the intake or the fan blades may be removed by hot air (150°F max) or other means recommended by the engine manufacturer. If use of deicing fluid is permitted, do not spray directly into engine core. If using deicing fluid, the spray pattern has to be in a mist form and not more than 15-20 psi from nozzle. This has to be supervised and authorized by a certified aircraft maintenance representative from the respective carrier.

Version 2 Oct2017


10.2.3.4 Removal of ice Heated fluid shall be used to break the ice bond. The method makes use of the high thermal conductivity of the metal skin. A stream of hot fluid is directed at close range on to one spot at an angle of less than 90°, until the aircraft skin is just exposed. The aircraft skin will then transmit the heat laterally in all directions raising the temperature above the freezing point thereby breaking the adhesion of the frozen mass to the aircraft surface. By repeating this procedure a number of times, the adhesion of a large area of frozen snow or glazed ice can be broken. The deposits can then be flushed off with either a low or high flow, depending on the amount of the deposit. 10.2.3.5 De-icing fluid application strategy 10.2.3.5.1 General For effective removal of snow and ice, the following techniques shall be adopted. NOTE Ice, snow or frost dilutes the fluid. Apply enough hot de-icing fluid to ensure that re-freezing does not occur and all contaminated fluid is driven off.

10.2.3.5.2 Aircraft-unique procedures Certain aircraft can require unique procedures to accommodate design differences. See the aircraft manufacturer's instructions. 10.2.3.5.3 Wings/tailplane Spray from the tip inboard to the root from the highest point of the surface camber to the lowest. However, aircraft configurations and local conditions may dictate a different procedure. 10.2.3.5.4 Vertical surfaces Start at the top and work down. 10.2.3.5.5 Fuselage Spray along the top centre-line and then outboard. Ensure that it is clear of ice and snow in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s manuals. Hoarfrost may be allowed. 10.2.3.5.6 Landing gear and wheel bays The application of de-icing fluid in this area shall be kept to a minimum. De-icing fluid shall neither be sprayed directly on to wheels and brakes, nor on towbarless tractor cradles. Accumulations such as blown snow may be removed by other means than fluid (mechanically, forced air, etc.). However, where deposits have bonded to surfaces, they can be removed by the application of hot air or by spraying with hot de-icing fluids. 10.2.3.5.7 Engines Deposits of snow shall be removed mechanically from engine intakes prior to departure utilizing soft bristle brush or squeegee. Any frozen deposits that have bonded to either the lower surface of the intake, the fan blades (including the rear-side) or propellers, shall be removed by hot air or other means recommended by the engine manufacturer. The hot air temperature should not exceed more than 150°F at low air pressure. 10.2.4 De-icing by infrared technology 10.2.4.1 This section establishes the procedures for removal of frozen contamination by using infrared de-icing technology. NOTE Specific information on facility requirements, as well as their inclusion in aircraft ground de-icing programmes, can be found in publications FSAT 00-05 and FSAW 00-02 listed in the bibliography section of this document. 10.2.4.2 General requirements: Ice, slush, snow and frost shall be removed from aircraft surfaces prior to dispatch from the facility and/or prior to anti-icing.

Version 2 Oct2017


10.2.4.3 De-icing using infrared energy is accomplished through heat that breaks the bond of adhering frozen contamination. The application of infrared energy may be continued to melt and evaporate frozen contaminants. Wet surfaces require an application of heated de-icing fluids to preclude refreezing after removal of the infrared energy source. When required, for operations other than frost or leading edge ice removal and when OAT is at or below 0 °C (32 °F), an additional treatment with hot de-icing fluid shall be performed within the facility to prevent re-freezing of water which may remain in hidden areas. CAUTION — If the aircraft requires additional de-icing and de-icing/anti-icing fluids have been applied before flight, conventional de-icing/anti-icing with fluids shall be performed. 10.2.4.4 The aircraft shall be inspected in accordance with the requirements in Clause 12 (general aircraft requirements after de-icing/anti-icing). 10.2.4.5 If anti-icing is required, it shall be accomplished in accordance with section 10.3. If anti-icing is performed inside the facility, infrared power levels shall be adjusted as required during the anti-icing process to prevent the re-accumulation of frozen contamination due to the effect of blowing snow through the facility and to maintain fluid integrity for the time the aircraft is in the facility. Dehydration of the fluid can negatively impact the fluid performance.

10.3 Anti-icing 10.3.1 General Ice, snow, slush or frost will, for a period of time, be prevented from adhering to, or accumulating on, aircraft surfaces by the application of anti-icing fluids. The following procedures shall be adopted when using anti-icing fluids. For effective anti-icing, an even layer of fluid of sufficient thickness is required over the prescribed aircraft surfaces that are clean (free of frozen deposits). For maximum anti-icing protection, undiluted, ISO type II, III or IV fluids should be used. The high fluid pressures and flow rates normally associated with de-icing are not required for this operation and, where possible, pump speeds should be reduced accordingly. The nozzle of the spray gun should be adjusted to provide a medium spray.

NOTE ISO type I fluids provide limited holdover effectiveness when used for anti-icing purposes. Little benefit is gained from the minimal holdover time generated. 10.3.2 Required usage Anti-icing fluid shall be applied to the aircraft surfaces when freezing rain, snow or other freezing precipitation may adhere to the aircraft at the time of aircraft dispatch. 10.3.3 Optional usage Anti-icing fluid may be applied to aircraft surfaces at the time of arrival (preferably before unloading begins), on short turnarounds during freezing precipitation and on overnight parked aircraft.

NOTE: This will minimize ice accumulation prior to departure and often makes subsequent de-icing easier. On receipt of a warning of frost, snow, freezing drizzle, freezing rain or freezing fog from the local meteorological service, anti-icing fluid may be applied to clean aircraft surfaces prior to the start of freezing precipitation. NOTE 2 This will minimize the possibility of snow and ice bonding or reduce the accumulation of frozen precipitation on aircraft surfaces and facilitate subsequent de-icing. 10.3.4 Anti-icing fluid application strategy CAUTION — Anti-icing fluids may not flow evenly over wing leading edges, horizontal and vertical stabilizers. These surfaces should be checked to ensure that they are properly coated with fluid. The process should be continuous and as short as possible. Anti-icing should be carried out as near to the departure time as operationally possible in order to utilize maximum holdover time. The anti-icing fluid shall be distributed uniformly and with sufficient thickness over all surfaces to which it is applied. In order to control the uniformity, all horizontal aircraft surfaces shall be visually checked during application of the fluid. The correct amount is indicated by fluid just beginning to run off the leading and trailing edges.

Version 2 Oct2017


NOTE: For guidance on the amount of fluid, refer to the SAE publication[3]. The most effective results are obtained by commencing on the highest part of the wing section and covering from there towards the leading and trailing edges. On vertical surfaces, start at the top and work down. The following surfaces shall be treated: a) wing upper surface and leading edges; b) horizontal stabilizer upper surface including leading edges and elevator upper surface; c) vertical stabilizer and rudder; d) fuselage upper surfaces depending upon the amount and type of precipitation (especially important on centre-line engine aircrafts).

10.4 Local frost prevention in cold-soaked wing areas 10.4.1 Introduction Wing surface temperatures can be considerably below ambient due to contact with cold fuel and/or close proximity to large masses of cold-soaked metal. In these areas, frost can build up on wing surfaces and may result in the entire wing being de-iced/anti-iced prior to the subsequent departure. This procedure provides recommendations for the prevention of local frost formation in cold-soaked-wing tank areas during transit stops in order to make de-icing/anti-icing of the entire wings unnecessary under such circumstances. This procedure does, however, not supersede standard de-icing/anti-icing procedures and has to fulfil the requirements of Clause 12. This procedure also does not obviate any requirements for treatment and inspections in accordance with aircraft-manufacturer manuals. 10.4.2 Procedure Using suitable spray equipment, apply a proper coating of undiluted type II or IV anti-icing fluid on the wings in the limited cold-soaked areas where formation of frost may be expected due to contact of the wing skin with sub-cooled fuel or masses of cold metal. A proper coating completely covers the treated area with visible fluid.

NOTE: For limitations see 10.4.3. 10.4.3 Limits and precautions

This local frost prevention procedure does not substitute standard de-icing/anti-icing procedures in

accordance with 10.1 to 10.3, clear-ice checks or any other aircraft-manufacturer requirements, nor the requirement that aircraft surfaces are clear of frost, slush, snow and ice accumulation.

This local frost prevention procedure shall only be carried out if approved by the operator of the aircraft to be

treated, and it shall only be carried out by properly qualified and trained personnel.

This local frost prevention procedure shall be applied on clean wings immediately following arrival of the

aircraft. Application is acceptable at the latest when frost is just starting to build up, but in this case the fluid shall be applied at a minimum temperature of 50 °C. If precipitation occurs between application of the fluid and dispatch of the aircraft and/or if precipitation is expected before take-off, a standard deicing/ anti-icing treatment shall be performed in accordance with 10.1 to 10.3.

The wings shall receive the same and symmetrical treatment, i.e. the same area in the same location

shall be sprayed, also when conditions would not require the treatment of both wings. CAUTION — Aerodynamic problems could result if this requirement is not met.

A holdover time shall not be assigned to a local frost prevention treatment since the treatment does not

cover the entire aircraft or wing surface. 10.4.4 Final check A tactile check of the treated areas and a visual check of the untreated areas of both wings shall be performed immediately before the aircraft leaves the parking position. These checks are conducted to ensure that both wings are clean and free of frost. The applied de-icing/anti-icing fluid shall still be liquid and shall show no indication of failure, such as colour turning to white, loss of gloss, becoming viscous, showing ice crystals, etc. 10.4.5 Cockpit crew information The following information shall be provided to the cockpit crew: "Local frost prevention was accomplished".

11 Limits and precautions 11.1 Fluid-related limits 11.1.1 Temperature limits 11.1.1.1 Two-step de-icing/anti-icing When performing two-step de-icing/anti-icing, the freezing point of the fluid used for the first step shall not be more than 3 °C (5 °F) above ambient temperature (see also Tables A.1 and B.1). 11.1.1.2 ISO type I fluid ( Type I fluid is diluted to 50/50 or 40/60 mix between glycol and water) CAUTION — ISO type I fluid supplied as a concentrate for dilution with water prior to use shall not be used undiluted. For exceptions, refer to the fluid manufacturer’s documentation. The freezing point of the ISO type I fluid mixture used for either one-step de-icing/anti-icing or as a second. 11.1.1.3 ISO type II, III and IV fluids

ISO type II, III and IV fluids used as de-icing/anti-icing agents have a lower temperature application limit of 25

°C (13 °F). These fluids may be used below this temperature provided that the freezing point of the fluid is at least 7 °C below the actual outside air temperature and the aerodynamic acceptance criteria are met. For this lowest operational use temperature, refer to the fluid manufacturer’s documentation. 11.1.2 Application limits Under no circumstances shall an aircraft that has been anti-iced receive a further coating of anti-icing fluid directly on top of the contaminated fluid. If an additional treatment is required before flight, a complete de-icing/anti-icing shall be performed (see application guidelines in Tables A1 and B1). Ensure that any residues from previous treatments are flushed off. Anti-icing only is not permitted. CAUTION — The repeated application of type II, III or IV fluid may cause residues to collect in aerodynamically quiet areas, cavities and gaps. Dried residues may rehydrate and freeze following a period of high humidity and/or rain conditions. This may impede flight control systems. These residues may require removal. Consult the aircraft manufacturer with regard to inspection methods and frequency, related maintenance requirements and aircraft washing recommendations. The use of hot water or heated type I fluid/water mix for the first step of a two-step de-icing/anti-icing process may minimize the formation of residues.

NOTE: When checking for residues, their visibility may be facilitated by misting with water.

11.2 Aircraft-related limits The application of de-icing/anti-icing fluid shall be in accordance with the requirements of the airframe/engine manufacturers.

11.3 Procedure precautions 11.3.1 One-step de-icing/anti-icing is performed with a heated anti-icing fluid. The fluid used to de-ice the aircraft remains on aircraft surfaces to provide limited anti-icing capability. The correct fluid concentration shall be chosen with regard to desired holdover time and is dictated by outside air temperature and weather conditions. See Tables A.1 and B.1. CAUTION — Wing skin temperatures may be lower than OAT. If this condition is identified, a stronger mix (more glycol) may need to be used to ensure a sufficient freezing-point buffer. 11.3.2 In two-step de-icing/anti-icing the first step is performed with de-icing fluid. The correct fluid shall be chosen with regard to ambient temperature. After de-icing, a separate overspray of anti-icing fluid shall be

Version 2 Oct2017


applied to protect the relevant surfaces, thus providing maximum possible anti-icing capability. The second step is performed with anti-icing fluid. The correct fluid concentration shall be chosen with regard to desired holdover time and is dictated by outside air temperature and weather conditions. (See Tables A.1 and B.1.) The second step shall be performed before the first-step fluid freezes (typically within 3 min), if necessary area by area. When applying the second-step fluid, use a spraying technique that completely covers the first-step fluid (for example using the method described in 10.3.4) and that provides a sufficient amount of second-step fluid. For guidance on the amount of fluid, refer to the AEA publication[3]. Where re-freezing occurs following the initial treatment, both the first and the second step shall be repeated. CAUTION — Wing skin temperatures may be lower than OAT. If this condition is identified, a stronger mix (more glycol) may need to be used to ensure a sufficient freezing-point buffer. 11.3.3 With regard to holdover time provided by the applied fluid, the objective is that it be equal to, or greater than, the estimated time from start of anti-icing to start of take-off based on existing weather conditions. 11.3.4 Aircraft shall be treated symmetrically, that is, left-hand and right-hand side shall receive the same treatment, even when only one side of the aircraft is contaminated. If the wing and/or the horizontal stabilizer/elevator is to be treated, the treatment shall always cover the entire wing and/or the entire horizontal stabilizer/elevator on both sides of the aircraft. CAUTION — Aerodynamic problems could result if this requirement is not met. 11.3.5 During de-icing and/or anti-icing, the moveable surfaces shall be in a position as specified by the aircraft manufacturer. 11.3.6 Engines are normally shut down but may remain running at idle during de-icing/anti-icing operations. Air-conditioning and/or APU air shall be selected OFF or as recommended by the airframe and engine manufacturer. 11.3.7 De-icing/anti-icing fluids shall not be sprayed directly on to wiring harnesses and electrical components (receptacles, junction boxes, etc.), brakes, wheels, exhausts or thrust reversers. 11.3.8 De-icing/anti-icing fluids shall not be directed into the orifices of pitot heads, static ports or directly on to air-stream direction detector probes/angle of attack airflow sensors. 11.3.9 All reasonable precautions shall be taken to minimize fluid entry into engines, other intakes/outlets and control-surface cavities. 11.3.10 Fluids shall not be directed on to flight deck or cabin windows as this can cause crazing of acrylics or penetration of the window seals. 11.3.11 Prior to the application of de-icing/anti-icing fluids, all doors and windows should be closed to prevent: a) galley floor areas from being contaminated with slippery de-icing fluids; b) upholstery from becoming soiled. Doors shall not be closed until all ice or snow has been removed from the surrounding area. 11.3.12 Any forward area from which fluid can blow back on to windscreens during taxiing or subsequent take-off shall be free of fluid residues prior to departure. 11.3.13 If ISO type II, III or IV fluids are used, all traces of the fluid on flight-deck windows should be removed prior to departure. Pay particular attention to windows fitted with wipers. De-icing/anti-icing fluids may be removed with an approved cleaner and a soft cloth or by flushing with type I fluid. 11.3.14 Landing gear and wheel bays shall be kept free from build-up of slush, ice or accumulations of blown snow.

Version 2 Oct2017


11.3.15 When removing ice, snow, frost or slush from aircraft surfaces, care shall be taken to prevent it entering and accumulating in auxiliary intakes or control-surface hinge areas, i.e. remove snow from wings and stabilizer surfaces forward towards the leading edge and remove from ailerons and elevators back towards the trailing edge. 11.3.16 Ice can build up on aircraft surfaces when descending through dense clouds or precipitation during an approach. When ground temperatures at the destination are low, it is possible for flaps to be retracted and for accumulations of ice to remain undetected between stationary and moveable surfaces. It is therefore important that these areas be checked prior to departure and any frozen deposits removed. 11.3.17 Under freezing-fog conditions, the rear side of the fan blades shall be checked for ice build-up prior to start-up. Any deposits discovered shall be removed by directing air from a low-flow, hot-air source, such as a cabin heater, on to the affected areas. 11.3.18 A flight-control check should be considered according to aircraft type (see relevant manuals). This check should be performed after de-icing/anti-icing. 11.3.19 After frequent applications of de-icing/anti-icing it is advisable to inspect aerodynamically quiet areas and cavities for residues of thickened de-icing/anti-icing fluid. For these inspections it may be necessary to open access panels. Consult airframe manufacturers for details and procedures.

11.4 Clear-ice precautions 11.4.1 Clear ice can form on aircraft surfaces below a layer of snow or slush. It is therefore important that surfaces be closely examined following each de-icing operation in order to ensure that all deposits have been removed. 11.4.2 Significant deposits of clear ice can form in the vicinity of the fuel tanks, on wing upper surfaces as well as under wings. Aircraft are most vulnerable to this type of build-up when: a) wing temperatures remain well below 0 °C (32 °F) during the turnaround/transit;

b) ambient air temperatures between 2 °C and 15 °C (28 °F and 59 °F) are experienced;

NOTE 1 Clear ice can form at other temperatures if conditions a), c) and d) exist. c) precipitation occurs while the aircraft is on the ground; d) frost or ice is present on the lower surface of either wing. The formation of clear ice is extremely difficult to detect. Therefore, when the above conditions prevail, or when there is otherwise any doubt as to whether clear ice has formed, a close examination shall be made immediately prior to departure in order to ensure that all frozen deposits have in fact been removed. Qualified personnel must refer to the tactical/clear ice check section 11.4.3. NOTE: This type of build-up normally occurs at low wing temperatures and when large quantities of cold fuel remaining wing tanks during the turnaround/transit and any subsequent refueling is insufficient to cause a significant increase in fuel temperature. NOTE 2: When frozen precipitation, such as snow or sleet, covers existing clear ice, the potential exists for deicing crews to overlook or not see the clear ice that remains after the aircraft has been de-iced. Once the snow has been removed, the residual deicing fluid may camouflage the clear ice by leaving a shiny surface that gives the appearance of deicing fluid on a clean metal surface. The inboard wing root area presents a particular problem because it is difficult to view from the ground or inside the aircraft. Ice breaking loose from this area poses the particular risk of ice ingestion on aircraft with rear fuselage mounted engines. 11.4.3 A tactile/clear ice check is a visually and physical (hands-on) check of the wing surfaces to verify that the wing is clear of ice accumulation. The following are examples of when a tactile check may be required: • At the request of the pilot to perform an inspection only • Before deicing

Version 2 Oct2017


• After deicing • Before anti-icing • At the gate • Preferably after aircraft fueling • Clear ice formation The tactile/clear ice check is performed by physically touching the wing of the aircraft. Starting at the root of the wing and around the entire wing with both hands extended, one on top and the other on the bottom of the wing, move your hand in a forward and back motion. Seams and rivets should be felt with your hands. If not, most likely there are contaminants adhering to the wing. CAUTION: IF THE ENGINE IS RUNNING WHILE TACTILE/CLEAR ICE INSPECTION IS PERFORMED, ONLY VISUALLY INSPECT INBOARD FLAPS. THE INBOARD MUST BE VISUALLY INSPECTED FROM THE FRONT OF THE WING AND FROM THE BACK OF THE WING. NOTE: The use of any type of gloves, hand warmers, or hand protection while performing a tactile check is not permitted.

12 General aircraft requirements after de-icing/anti-icing 12.1 General Following the de-icing/anti-icing procedures and prior to take-off, the critical aircraft surfaces shall be clean of all frost, ice, slush and snow accumulations in accordance with the following requirements.

12.2 Wing, tail and control surfaces Wing, tail and control surfaces shall be free of ice, snow, slush and frost except that a coating of frost may be present on wing lower surfaces in areas cold-soaked by fuel between forward and aft spars in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer's published manuals.

12.3 Pitot heads and static ports Pitot heads and static ports shall be clear of ice, frost, snow and fluid residues.

12.4 Engines Engine inlets, exhaust nozzles, cooling intakes, control system probes and ports shall be clear of ice and snow. Engine fan blades or propellers (as appropriate) shall be clear of ice, frost and snow, and shall be free to rotate.

12.5 Air-conditioning inlets and exits Air-conditioning inlets and exits shall be clear of ice, frost and snow. Outflow valves shall be clear and unobstructed.

12.6 Landing gear and landing-gear doors Landing gear and landing-gear doors shall be unobstructed and clear of ice, frost and snow.

12.7 Fuel-tank vents Fuel-tank vents shall be clear of ice, frost and snow.

12.8 Fuselage The fuselage shall be clear of ice and snow. Frost may be present in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer's manuals.

12.9 Flight-control check A functional flight-control check using an external observer may be required after de-icing/anti-icing depending upon aircraft type (see relevant manuals). This is particularly important in the case of an aircraft that has been subjected to an extreme ice or snow covering.

Version 2 Oct2017


12.10 Dried-fluid residues when the aircraft has not been flown after anti-icing Dried fluid residue could occur when surfaces have been treated but the aircraft has not subsequently been flown and not been subject to any precipitation. The fluid may then have dried on the surfaces. In such situations the aircraft shall be checked for residues from de-icing/anti-icing fluids and cleaned as necessary.

12.11 Special maintenance considerations Proper account should be taken of the possible side-effects of fluid use. Such effects may include, but are not necessarily limited to, dried and/or rehydrated residues, corrosion and the removal of lubricants

13 Post-de-icing/anti-icing-treatment check An aircraft shall not be dispatched after a de-icing/anti-icing treatment until the aircraft has received a final check by a trained and qualified person. This check, in accordance with Operating Procedure Manual shall visually cover all critical parts of the aircraft and be performed from points offering sufficient higher visibility of these parts (for example from the deicer itself or another elevated piece of equipment) in other words the coordinator will conduct a check by viewing the entire aircraft. Any contamination found shall be removed by further de-icing/anti-icing treatment and the check repeated. The anti-icing code according to 15.2 shall not be transmitted before the post de-icing/anti-icing treatment check is completed.

This check shall cover wings, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer and fuselage. This check shall also include any other parts of the airplane on which a de-icing/anti-icing treatment was performed according to the requirements identified during the contamination check. The check shall be performed from points offering sufficient visibility of all prescribed surfaces (e.g. from the de-icer itself or other equipment suitable for gaining access). Any contamination found, shall be removed by further de-icing/anti-icing treatment and the check repeated. Before take-off the Commander must ensure that he has received confirmation that this Post De-icing/Anti-icing Check has been accomplished. NOTE: For specific airplane types, additional requirements exist e.g. special clear ice checks, such as tactile checks on wings. These special checks are not covered by the Post De- icing/Anti-icing Check. Airplane operators shall make arrangements for suitably qualified personnel to meet these requirements. Where the de-icing provider is carrying out the de-icing/anti-icing process and also the Post De-icing/ Anti-icing Check, it may either be performed as a separate check or incorporated into the de-icing operation as defined below. The de-icing provider shall specify the actual method adopted, where necessary by customer, in his winter procedures: a) As the de-icing/anti-icing operation progresses the De-icing Operator will closely monitor the surfaces receiving treatment, in order to ensure that all forms of frost, ice, slush or snow are removed and that, on completion of the treatment, these surfaces are fully covered with an adequate layer of anti-icing fluid.. b) Once the operation has been completed, the De-icing Operator will carry out a close visual check of the surface where treatment commenced, in order to ensure it has remained free of contamination (this procedure is not required under ‘frost only’ conditions). c) Where the request for de-icing/anti-icing did not specify the fuselage, it shall also receive a visual check at this time, in order to confirm that it has remained free of contamination d) Any evidence of contamination that is outside the defined limits shall be reported to the PIC immediately.

*It shall be clearly defined by the aeroplane operator which company is responsible for carrying out the post de-icing/anti-icing check and providing the Commander with the Anti-icing Code. *If two different companies are involved in the de-icing/anti-icing treatment and post de-icing/anti-icing check, it must be ensured that the Anti-icing Code is not given before the post de-icing/anti-icing check is completed.

Version 2 Oct2017


*The company carrying out the de-icing/anti-icing treatment shall be responsible for the treatment and pass all information about the treatment to the company carrying out the post de-icing/anti-icing check

14 Pre-take-off check and pre-take-off contamination check 14.1 Pre-take-off check The commander shall continually monitor the environmental situation after the performed de-icing/anti-icing treatment. Prior to take-off he shall assess whether the applied holdover time is still appropriate. This check is normally performed from inside the flight deck.

14.2 Pre-take-off contamination check A check of the critical surfaces for contamination shall be performed when the condition of the critical surfaces of the aircraft cannot be effectively assessed by a pre-take-off check or when the applied holdover time has been exceeded. This check is normally accomplished from outside the aircraft. The alternate means of compliance to a pre-take-off contamination check is a complete de-icing/anti-icing retreatment of the aircraft.

15 Communication procedures Persons communicating with the flight crew shall have a basic knowledge of the English language (operational level or equivalent according to the current version of the Training Document AS6286). For local flights involving local flight and ground crews, local language may be used by them (see the current version of training document AS6286).

Communication between the flight crew and the deicing crew will usually be achieved using a combination of printed forms and verbal communication. For treatments carried out after aircraft doors are closed, the use of flight interphone (headset) or VHF radio will usually be required. Electronic message boards may also be used in ‘off stand’ situations. Use of hand signals is not recommended except for the final ‘all clear’ signal.

NOTE: No flight crew communication is required and no holdover time applies if the aircraft is deiced using Type I for overnight frost in the absence of further precipitation or active frost.

15.1 Communication Prior to Starting Deicing/Anit-Icing Treatment

a. Before starting deicing/anti-icing, the flight crew shall be requested to confirm the treatment required (i.e., surfaces and components to be de-iced, anti-icing requirements, plus any special deicing procedures).

b. Before fluid treatment starts, the flight crew shall be requested to configure the aircraft for deicing/anti-icing (surfaces, controls, and systems as per aircraft type requirements or recommended procedures). The deicing crew shall wait for confirmation that this has been completed before commencing the treatment.

c. For treatments conducted without the flight crew present, suitably Qualified Staff shall be nominated by the aircraft operator to confirm the treatment required (when applicable) and to confirm the correct configuration of the aircraft.

15.1.1 De-icing/anti-icing operation An aircraft shall not be dispatched for departure after a de-icing/anti-icing operation until the pilot-in-command (PIC) has been notified of the type of de-icing/anti-icing operation performed. The standardized notification performed by qualified personnel indicates that the aircraft critical parts are checked free of ice, frost, snow and slush and, in addition, includes the necessary anti-icing code as specified in 15.2 to allow the PIC to estimate the holdover time to be expected under the prevailing weather conditions with reference to Clause 17.

Version 2 Oct2017


In a remote (away from the gate) de-icing/anti-icing operation, a ground de-icing/anti-icing crew member shall be designated to maintain a positive communication link with the aircraft cockpit crew throughout the total deicing/ anti-icing process. When a treatment is interrupted for a significant period of time (e.g., truck runs out of fluid) the flight crew shall be informed stating the reason, the action to be taken and the estimated time delay. When continuing the treatment, the previously treated surfaces must be fully de-iced and anti-iced again, when the holdover time of the treatment from before the interruption is not sufficient.

15.2 Anti-icing code The following information shall be recorded and communicated to the pilot-in-command by referring to the last step of the procedure and in the sequence provided below:

NOTE: This information shall not be communicated in circumstances where anti-icing holdover times do not apply, e.g., local frost prevention in cold-soaked wing areas, symmetrical local area deicing, or deicing of specific surfaces only (such as leading edges for removal of impact ice), etc. In these circumstances, upon completion of the treatment, the flight crew shall be provided with the deicing fluid type applied (e.g., “Type I”); a statement that holdover time does not apply (e.g., “no holdover time applies”); and confirmation that the post-deicing check has been completed (e.g., “post deicing check completed”).

a. the ISO/SAE fluid type, i.e. type I for ISO/SAE type I, type II, for ISO/SAE type II, type III for

ISO/SAE type III and type IV for ISO/SAE type IV; b. the complete product name of the anti-icing fluid (so-called “brand name”), optional for type II

and IV fluids only [the complete product name (brand name) shall only be given when the product (brand name) holdover-time table for that specific product may be used];

NOTE: Communication of this element is not required for Type I fluid.

c. The concentration of the fluid (except for type I fluid) within the fluid/water mixture, expressed as

a percentage by volume;

NOTE: Communication of this element is not required for Type I fluid.

d. The local time (hours/minutes) at the beginning of the final de-icing/anti-icing step;

• For the one-step deicing/anti-icing operation: at the start of the final treatment; or

• For a two-step deicing/anti-icing operation: at the start of the second step (anti-icing) e. The date (written day, month, year/date required for record keeping, optional for crew

notification).

NOTE: This element is required for record keeping and is optional for flight crew notification. EXAMPLE A de-icing/anti-icing treatment whose last step is the use of a mixture of 75 % of the ISO type II fluid with product name “Dexo, ADF XY-100" and 25 % water commencing at 13:35 local time on 20 April 2004 is recorded as follows: Type II/Dexo ADF XY-100/75 %/13:35 (20 April 2004) It is orally transmitted to the pilot-in-command as follows: “Your anti-icing code is: Type II, product Dexo ADF XY-100, concentration 75 %, 13 h 35, local time.” The word “concentration” shall be used orally to avoid any confusion between product name (which may contain a number) and concentration.

f. The statement, “Post-deicing/anti-icing check completed.” NOTE: For specific aircraft types, additional requirements exist, e.g., tactile checks for clear ice on wing surfaces. Additional confirmation for these checks may be required.

Version 2 Oct2017


EXAMPLE: The last step of a deicing/anti-icing procedure is the application of a mixture of 75% Type II fluid and 25% water, made by the Manufacturer as Brand X, commencing at 13:35 local time on 20 February 2016, is reported and recorded as follows: “TYPE II / 75% / MANUFACTURER, BRAND X / 1335 / 20FEB16 / POST DEICING/ANTI-ICING CHECK COMPLETED” NOTE: An alternative means of visual communication of the anti-icing code to the flight crew can be used (e.g., written on paper, EMBs, ACARS, EFBs, etc.).

15.3 Post-treatment check and transmission of the anti-icing code to the pilot-in-command It shall be clearly defined by the aircraft operator which company is responsible for carrying out the post-treatment check and providing the pilot-in-command with the anti-icing code. If two different companies are involved in the de-icing/anti-icing treatment and post-treatment check, it shall be ensured that the anti-icing code is not given before the post-treatment check is completed. The company carrying out the de-icing/anti-icing treatment shall be responsible for the treatment and pass all information about the treatment to the company carrying out the post-treatment check. Transmission of elements a), b), c) and d) of 15.2 to the pilot-in-command confirms that a post-de-icing/anti-icing check was completed and the aircraft is clean (see Clause 12).

15.4 All-clear signal The pilot-in-command shall receive a confirmation from the ground crew that all de-icing/anti-icing operations are complete and that all personnel and equipment are clear before reconfiguring or moving the aircraft.

15.5 Emergency procedures When conducting de-icing/anti-icing treatments at either a remote de-icing/anti-icing location or a centralized de-icing/anti-icing facility, local procedures shall be established to ensure that either aircraft or ground emergencies are handled safely and expeditiously and are coordinated with the airport operations emergency plan. 15.6 Aircraft movement When de-icing/anti-icing is to be accomplished at either a remote de-icing/anti-icing location or a centralized de-icing/anti-icing facility, local procedures shall be established to ensure that the aircraft enters and exits the de-icing/anti-icing position in a safe coordinated manner.

Note: JFK only- All VIP and Other aircraft deicing in bldg 20(VIP Tent Area). Deicing Coordinators must get with Pad Commander for the VIP Tent area to coordinate entry of VIP and or other aircraft requiring deicing service. The following must be accomplished prior to deicing in VIP TENT area.

• Contact Contego Pad Command to arrange deicing service in the VIP area

• Ensure aircraft entering the VIP tent area they must contact Pad Commander at 122.775.

• Aircraft must enter via Papa Bravo and exit Quebec Charlie using the proper communication channel (122.775)

• If Papa Bravo is congested then aircraft must enter via Quebec Charlie and exit Quebec Bravo.

• The above VIP area entries and exit must be coordinated to Contego Pad Command before any deicing is commenced.

• Once deicing is commenced follow normal procedures on communicating with flight crew or maint. Personnel on cleanliness of aircraft and giving anti-icing start time and fluid information.

Version 2 Oct2017


16 Off-gate de-icing/anti-icing procedures During deicing/anti-icing, a two-way communication between the flight crew and the deicing/anti-icing operator/supervisor must be established prior to the deicing/anti-icing treatment. This may be done either by interphone or by VHF radio. Alternate means of communication may be the use of ACARS, EFBs, and EMBs. In the event of conflict, verbal communication shall take precedence.

During treatment, all necessary information must be transmitted to the flight crew, including the beginning of treatment, treatment of the sections requiring de-activation of aircraft systems, the Anti-Icing Code, etc. (using standardized deicing/anti-icing phraseology). Communication contact with the flight crew may be concluded after transmission of the Anti-Icing Code and readiness for taxi-out has been announced. During deicing/anti-icing operations with engines running, both verbal and visual communications shall be utilized and positive control maintained during the deicing/anti-icing operation in accordance with ARP5660.

a. General instructions: The deicing/anti-icing operator and/or airport authority must ensure that all necessary information regarding operation of the off-gate/CDF/DDF site is published and available to flight crews. This information shall be included within the deicing/anti-icing operator’s and/or airport authority’s local procedures documentation and be made available to air operators and flight crews (e.g., it can be included as part of flight release documentation, etc.). This information should also be published in applicable state aeronautical navigation documents/publications. This information shall include, at a minimum:

• The location of and standard taxi routing to, within, and from the deicing/anti-icing site;

• The means by which to coordinate the deicing/anti-icing operation;

• The means by which to communicate before, during, and after the deicing/anti-icing operation;

• The means by which taxi-and-stop guidance is provided to the flight crew (e.g., VHF, EMBs, etc.); and,

• Any unique requirements or procedural differences affecting the flight crew and/or flight crew/ground crew interface.

b. Responsibilities: The responsibility to conduct a Contamination Check before dispatch rests with trained and qualified personnel. The results of the Contamination Check must be provided to the flight crew via verbal or visual (written or electronic) means. Subsequently, the flight crew is responsible for acquiring the proper treatment. After treatment, the treated surfaces and components must be checked by a trained and Qualified Staff (see Section 11) and the Anti-Icing Code must be given to the flight crew (see 5.4). Subsequently, the flight crew is responsible for the airworthiness of the aircraft.

16.1 Communication Levels There are four levels of communication between the staff performing the Deicing/Anti-icing and the staff performing the Post Deicing/Anti-icing staff:

• The deicing vehicle intercom system is used between the vehicle driver and boom operator

• Two-way communication between multiple vehicle drivers must be performed via VHF radio

• Two-way communication between vehicle driver and deicing/anti-icing coordinator must be performed via VHF radio for the Post deicing/Anti-icing check.

• The aircraft’s intercom system is used between the deicing/anti-icing coordinator and flight crew

16.2 Equipment/Staff Information Transmission Communication between staff includes:

• Fluid type

• Start time

Version 2 Oct2017


• End Time

• Cleanliness of the aircraft

• Upon completion, all vehicles and personnel clear of aircraft

16.3 Communications During off-gate de-icing/anti-icing a two-way communication between flight crew and de-icing/anti-icing operator/supervisor shall be established prior to the de-icing/anti-icing treatment. This may be done either by intercom or by VHF radio. In case VHF is used, the register or “tail number” of the aircraft instead of flight number shall be used during all communications. An alternate means of communication may be the use of electronic message boards. In the event of conflict, verbal communication shall take precedence. Before and after the treatment, all necessary information to the cockpit shall be given by this means (beginning of treatment, treatment of sections requiring de-activation of aircraft systems, anti-icing code, etc.). Contact with flight crew may be closed after anti-icing code and readiness for taxi-out has been announced. For standard phrases see 16.5. 16.4 Taxi guidance When an off-gate de-icing/anti-icing area is entered by taxiing, a sufficient taxi and stopping guidance shall be arranged, or marshaller assistance shall be given. In case radio contact is established before entering the deicing/ anti-icing area, the signs with clearly marked operation frequency shall be visible from the cockpit before entering this area.

16.5 General instructions The de-icing/anti-icing operator together with the airport authorities shall publish all necessary information about how to operate on the off-gate site by NOTAM (Notices for Airman) or in local AIP (Aerodrome Information Publication). This information shall include at least the location of, and standard taxi routing to, the de-icing/anti-icing area, means to coordinate the de-icing/anti-icing operation, means to communicate before and during the de-icing/anti-icing operation and information about taxi and stopping guidance.

16.7 Scripts

Following standard communication terminology is recommended during off-gate deicing/anti-icing procedures:

(DIS = Deicing/anti-icing supervisor)

Version 2 Oct2017


(COMMANDER = Pilot in command)

DIS: “Set parking-brake, confirm the airplane is ready for treatment, inform on any special requests.”

After the airplane is configured for treatment:

COMMANDER: “Parking brake rakes is set, you may begin treatment and observe…(any special requests like: ice under wing/flaps, clear-ice on top of wing, snow on fuselage, ice on landing-gear, anti-ice with Type IV fluid, etc.)”.

DIS: “The treatment will begin now…(special request given, like “ice under wing”, etc.) I will call you back when ready”.

Only after all equipment is cleared from the airplane and all checks are completed:

DIS: “Deicing/anti-icing completed, Anti-icing Code is: …….. (plus any additional info needed). I am disconnecting. Standby for clear signal at right/left and/or contact ground/tower for taxi clearance.”

COMMANDER: “Deicing/anti-icing completed, Anti-icing code is ……..” 16.7.1 Phraseology Guidelines for establishing clear concise standardized communication and phraseology between aircraft flight and ground crews during aircraft deicing operations is contained in ARP6257. It is very important that both parties communicate fully about contact requirements, aircraft configuration, de/anti-icing treatment needed, and post deicing reporting requirements. 16.7.2 Communication for Proximity Sensor Activation by Physical Contact For equipment types furnished with a proximity sensor requiring physical contact in order to activate (refer to 8.7.19 for further information), and, in the event of sensor contact, the Pilot in Command shall be informed using the following phraseology:

Ground Crew to Flight Crew:

“A safety proximity sensor (identify location on the deicing equipment) has been activated on the (specify specific location on the aircraft). (Name third party title that performed inspection) has performed a visual inspection on the affected area. Provide results of the third party inspection (e.g., there is no visual damage detected or damage is suspected or present). Advise your intentions.”

16.7.3 Aircraft Requirements After Deicing/Anti-Icing Following the deicing/anti-icing procedures and prior to takeoff, the critical aircraft surfaces shall be free of all frost, snow, slush, or ice accumulations in accordance with the following requirements.

a) Wings, Tails, and Control Surfaces

Wings, tails, and control surfaces shall be free of frost, snow, slush, or ice unless the aircraft manufacturer and state regulatory authority permits that a coating of frost may be present on wing lower surfaces in areas cold soaked by fuel between forward and aft spars; and/or on upper wing surfaces within defined areas, in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s published documentation. NOTE: Except for frost due to cold-soaked fuel as mentioned above, and unless otherwise specified in the Aircraft Flight Manual or other aircraft manufacturer's documentation, contamination is not acceptable on: the upper or lower surfaces of the horizontal stabilizer and elevator/tab; strakes; inboard, outboard, upper, and lower surfaces of the wing and wing tip devices; and either side of the vertical stabilizer and rudder.

Version 2 Oct2017


b) Pitot Tubes, Static Ports, and All Other Air Data Sensing Devices Pitot tubes, static ports, and other air data sensing devices shall be free of frost, snow, slush, ice and fluid.

c) Engines Engine inlets (including the leading edge), exhaust, cooling intakes, control system probes, and port shall be free of frost, snow, slush, or ice. Engine fan blades, propellers (as appropriate), and spinner cones shall be free of frost, snow, slush, or ice, and shall be free to rotate.

d) Air Conditioning Inlets and Outlets Air inlets, outlets, pressure-release valves, and outflow valves shall be free of frost, snow, slush, or ice and shall be unobstructed.

e) Landing Gear and Landing Gear Doors Landing gear and landing gear doors shall be unobstructed and free of frost, snow, slush or ice. Do not spray deicing/anti-icing fluids directly onto wiring harnesses and electrical components (receptacles, junction boxes, etc.) brakes, wheels, exhausts, or thrust reversers.

f) Fuel Tank Vents Fuel tank vents shall be free of frost, snow, slush, or ice.

g) Fuselage The fuselage shall be free of ice, slush, and snow. In accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s documentation, frost may be present on the fuselage for take-off within specified amounts provided that no other forms of contamination are present, and inlets, outlets, and other devices (as identified by the aircraft manufacturer) are free of contamination.

h) Flight Deck Windows and Nose or Radome Area Any significant deposits of frost, snow, slush, or ice on the windscreens or on areas forward of the windscreens shall be removed prior to departure. Heated flight deck windows will not normally require deicing. Any forward area from which fluid may flow back onto windscreens during taxi or subsequent takeoff shall be free of fluid prior to departure. If SAE Type II, III, or IV fluid has been used, all traces of the fluid on flight deck windows shall be removed prior to departure, with particular attention paid to windows fitted with wipers. Thickened-fluid (SAE Type II, III, or IV) can be removed by using a diluted Type I mixture, water (where it has been determined that refreezing will not occur), a manual method (ensuring that windscreen heat is turned off), or another cleaner as approved by the aircraft manufacturer. NOTE: During falling precipitation, heated windows may cause liquid runoff to freeze near sensors, requiring deicing.

i) Dried Thickened Fluid Residues when the Aircraft Has Not Been Flown after Anti-Icing Dried thickened-fluid (SAE Type II, III, or IV) residues can occur when surfaces have been deiced/anti-iced but the aircraft has not imminently been flown and has not been subject to precipitation. The fluid may then have dried on the surfaces. In such situations, the aircraft must be checked for dried residues from thickened fluids and cleaned as necessary.

j) Special Maintenance Considerations Proper account should be taken of the possible side-effects of fluid use. Such effects may include, but are not necessarily limited to, dried and/or rehydrated residues and the removal of lubricants.

Figure 16.8.1

17 Limits 17.1 Fluid Related Limits Temperature Limits (see appropriate tables): When performing two-step deicing/anti-icing, the freeze point (FP) of the fluid used for the first step shall be at or below the OAT. SAE Type I Fluids: The FP of the SAE Type I fluid mixture used for either one-step deicing/anti-icing or as a second step in the two-step operation shall be at least 10 °C (18 °F) below the OAT. In no case shall this temperature be lower than the LOUT. CAUTION: All Type I fluids supplied as concentrates for dilution with water prior to use shall not be used undiluted. For exceptions, refer to fluid manufacturer's documentation. CAUTION: All Type I fluids have a maximum concentration mix related to the aerodynamic acceptability. Refer to fluid manufacturer’s documentation.

Version 2 Oct2017


SAE Type II, III, and IV Fluids: The freeze point of SAE Type II, III, IV fluids used for either one-step deicing/anti-icing or as the second step in a two-step treatment shall be at least 7 °C (13 °F) below OAT and not lower than the aerodynamic acceptability lower limit of the fluid. NOTE: These fluids shall not be used below -25 °C (-13 °F) in active frost conditions. Frost, snow, slush, or ice dilutes the fluid. Apply enough hot deicing fluid to ensure that refreezing does not occur and all contaminated fluid is driven off.

17.2 Application Limits (see also the Application Tables1 and 2 in 8.8) Under no circumstances shall an aircraft that has been anti-iced receive a further coating of anti-icing fluid directly on top of the contaminated film. If an additional treatment is required before flight, a complete deicing/anti-icing shall be performed (see Application Tables 1 and 2). Ensure that any remaining fluid from any previous treatment is flushed off. Anti-icing only is not permitted.

CAUTION: The application of Type II, III, and IV fluid, especially when used in a one-step process or in the first step of a two-step process, may cause fluid to collect in aerodynamically quiet areas, cavities, and gaps which can dry out and leave dried residues. Dried residues may rehydrate and freeze following a period of high humidity and/or rain conditions. This may cause flight control problems. These dried residues may require removal. Consult the aircraft manufacturer with regard to inspection methods and frequency, related maintenance requirements and aircraft washing recommendations.

The application of hot water or heated Type I fluid in the first step of a two-step process will minimize the formation of residues. Dried residues may rehydrate and freeze under certain temperature, high humidity and/or rain conditions and may block or impede critical flight control systems. If a Type II, III, or IV fluid is used in a one-step process or in the first step of a two-step process, then an appropriate inspection and cleaning program shall be established dependent on the operator’s experience and fleet type. Whenever suitable, deice and anti-ice with only Type I to help avoid these residue issues.

Flight control problems associated with frozen or unfrozen residues have been observed to be particularly prevalent when thickened fluids are used to remove frost during a period of dry weather followed by hydration of the dried residues by water from rain, condensation, cleaning, or wet snow in flight.

NOTE: In order to detect dried residues, it may help to spray a water mist onto the affected surfaces. This causes the dried residues to rehydrate and swell into a gel.

NOTE: If removal of contamination is required on the lower side of the wings and the horizontal stabilizer and elevator, deicing/anti-icing fluid shall be applied sparingly to minimize fluid flow into drain holes. Whenever possible, use Type I only. Consult the aircraft manufacturer's documentation.

17.3 Aircraft Related Limits The application of deicing/anti-icing fluid shall be in accordance with the requirements of the airframe/engine manufacturers and local procedures.

17.4 Procedure Precautions 17.4.1 One-Step Deicing/Anti-Icing This is performed using heated deicing/anti-icing fluids (see 8.4.1). The correct fluid concentration is chosen with regard to desired holdover time, dictated by OAT and weather conditions (see Application Tables 1 and 2). The fluid used to de-ice the aircraft remains on the aircraft surfaces to provide limited anti-ice capability.

CAUTION: Wing skin temperature may differ and in some cases may be lower than OAT. A mix with higher glycol concentration can be used under the latter condition to ensure a sufficient buffer.

Version 2 Oct2017


CAUTION: The application of Type II, III, or IV fluid, especially when used in a one-step process, may cause fluid to collect in aerodynamically quiet areas, cavities and gaps which can dry out and leave dried residues. Dried residues may rehydrate and freeze following a period of high humidity and/or rain conditions. This may impede flight control systems. These dried residues may require removal. Consult the aircraft manufacturer with regard to inspection methods and frequency, related maintenance requirements and aircraft washing recommendations.

NOTE: If a Type II, III, or IV fluid is used in a one-step process, then an appropriate inspection and cleaning program shall be established. Whenever suitable, de-ice and anti-ice with only Type I.


NOTE: If removal of contamination is required on the lower side of the wings and the horizontal stabilizer and elevator, deicing/anti-icing fluid shall be applied sparingly to minimize fluid flow into drain holes. Whenever possible, use Type I only. Consult the aircraft manufacturer's documentation.

17.4.2 Two-Step Deicing/Anti-Icing when the First Step Is Performed with Deicing Fluid (see 8.5.1) The correct fluid(s) shall be chosen with regard to OAT (see application Tables 1 and 2). The second step is performed with anti-icing fluid to protect the surfaces. This fluid and its concentration are chosen with regard to desired holdover time, which is dictated by OAT and weather conditions (see application Table 2). The second step shall be performed before the first step fluid freezes if necessary area by area. When treating composite surfaces, freezing may happen quickly. It is the responsibility of the Deicing Service Provider to ensure that all frozen deposits have been removed from the treated surfaces, before applying the second step fluid.

Use a second step spraying technique to cover completely the first step fluid (for example using the method described in 8.5.1) with a sufficient amount of second step fluid. For guidance on the amount of fluid refer to the document AS6286. Where re-freezing occurs following the initial treatment, both the first and second step must be repeated.

CAUTION: Wing skin temperature may differ and in some cases may be lower than OAT. A mix with higher glycol concentration can be used under these conditions to ensure a sufficient buffer.

CAUTION: The application of Type II, III, or IV fluid, especially when used in a one-step process or in the first step of a two-step process, may cause fluid to collect in aerodynamically quiet areas, cavities, and gaps, which can dry out and leave dried residues. Dried residues may rehydrate and freeze following a period of high humidity and/or rain conditions. This may impede flight control systems. These dried residues may require removal. Consult the aircraft manufacturer with regard to inspection methods and frequency, related maintenance requirements and aircraft washing recommendations. The use of hot water or heated mixture of Type I fluid/water for the first step of a two-step deicing/anti-icing process will minimize the formation of dried residues.

NOTE: If a Type II, III, or IV fluid is used in the first step of a two-step process, then an appropriate inspection and cleaning program shall be established. Whenever suitable, de-ice and anti-ice with only Type I.


NOTE: Anti-icing of the lower side of the wings and/or horizontal stabilizer and elevator is normally not foreseen. However, if these surfaces must be de-iced, the of the deicing fluid must be low enough to prevent refreezing.

Version 2 Oct2017


17.4.3 With regard to holdover time provided by the applied fluid, the objective is that it is equal to or greater than the estimated time from the start of anti-icing to the start of takeoff based on existing weather conditions.

17.4.4 Aircraft shall be treated symmetrically, that is, left hand and right hand side shall receive the same and

complete treatment, even when only one side of the aircraft needs treatment. Anti-icing treatments shall always cover the entire wing, the entire vertical stabilizer/rudder and horizontal stabilizer/elevator on both sides of the aircraft.

WARNING: This is a regulatory requirement. The aircraft is considered UNSAFE if this requirement is not met. 17.4.5 During anti-icing and deicing, the moveable surfaces shall be in a position as specified by the aircraft

manufacturer. 17.4.6 Engines shall remain running at idle or can be shut down during deicing/anti-icing operations. Air

conditioning and/or APU bleed air shall be selected OFF, or as recommended by the airframe and engine manufacturer. Avoid spraying deicing/anti-icing fluid directly into the engine inlet core.

17.4.7 Do not spray deicing/anti-icing fluids directly onto wiring harnesses and electrical components

(receptacles, junction boxes, etc.) brakes, wheels, exhausts, or thrust reversers. 17.4.8 Deicing/anti-icing fluid spray shall not be directed into the orifices of pitot tubes (heads), static

ports/vents, or directly onto air stream direction detectors probes/angle of attack airflow sensors. This includes all openings.

17.4.9 All reasonable precautions shall be taken to minimize fluid entry into engines, APU, other intakes/outlets,

and control surface cavities. Refer to manufacturer documentation. Deicing/anti-icing fluid spray shall not be directed into engine core or directly onto engine probes/sensors.

17.4.10 Do not direct fluid spray onto the flight deck or cabin windows as this can cause crazing of the acrylic or

penetration of the window seals. Fluid spray may be directed above these surfaces and allowed to flow over.

17.4.11 If SAE Type II, III, or IV fluids are used, all traces of the fluid on flight deck windows shall be removed

prior to departure, with particular attention being paid to windows fitted with wipers. Any forward area from which fluid may blow back onto windscreens during taxi or subsequent takeoff shall be free of fluid prior to departure. Failure to do so may result in obscured visibility.

NOTE: Deicing/anti-icing fluid can be removed by rinsing with an approved cleaner and a soft cloth or

flushing with Type I fluid. 17.4.12 Landing gear and wheel bays shall be kept free from the buildup of slush, ice, or accumulations of

blown snow. 17.4.13 When removing ice, snow, or slush from aircraft surfaces care shall be taken to prevent it entering and

accumulating in auxiliary intakes and control surface balance bays, gaps, or hinge areas. 17.4.14 Contamination build up on and within aircraft lift devices and other critical surfaces can form in flight or

when on the ground. During icing conditions, when flaps and slats are retracted, contamination may not be visible. Conditions where this can occur may include, but are not limited to, the accumulation of impact ice in flight; the splash up of slush onto the underwing and flaps during ground maneuvering; and flap track contamination where snow and/or other contaminants may blow and compact within these openings. As the possibility exists that this could remain undetected, it is important that when these conditions are present or suspected, these areas be inspected and any frozen deposits removed prior to departure.

Version 2 Oct2017


17.4.15 Under the conditions of freezing fog, or other freezing precipitation conditions, it is necessary for the front and rear side on the fan blades to be checked for ice buildup prior to start-up. Any deposits discovered are to be removed by directing air from a low flow hot air source, such as a cabin heater, onto the affected areas or other means recommended by the aircraft operator based on information from the aircraft and engine manufacturers.

17.4.16 After frequent applications of deicing/anti-icing fluids it is advisable to inspect aerodynamically quiet

areas and cavities for dried residues of thickened deicing/anti-icing fluid. For these inspections, it may be necessary to open access panels. Consult airframe manufacturers for inspection and cleaning details and procedures.

17.4.17 A deicing/anti-icing treatment should be continuous and as short as possible. If a treatment is interrupted

(for example a truck running out of fluid), the cockpit crew shall be immediately informed stating:

• The reason for the interruption

• Actions to be taken (in consultation with the cockpit crew)

• Expected time of delay

Before continuing the treatment:

• Inform the cockpit crew

• Establish in consultation with the cockpit crew, the further treatment to be carried out, including any surfaces requiring re-treatment in relation to holdover time

Carry out the treatment as agreed.

17.4.18 Clear Ice Precautions

Clear ice can form on aircraft surfaces below a layer of snow or slush. It is, therefore, important that surfaces are closely examined following each deicing operation, in order to ensure that all deposits have been removed. Significant deposits of clear ice can form in the vicinity of the fuel tanks, on wing upper surfaces as well as underwing. Aircraft are most vulnerable with regard to this type of buildup when one or more of the following conditions exist:

• Wing temperatures remain well below 0 °C (32 °F) during the turnaround/transit

• Ambient humidity is high and/or Precipitation occurs while the aircraft is on the ground

• When frost or ice is present on lower surface of either wing

• Ambient temperatures between -2 °C (28 °F) and +15 °C (59 °F) are experienced, although clear ice may form at other temperatures if the other three conditions listed above exist

Clear ice formation is extremely difficult to detect. Therefore, when the above conditions prevail, or when there is otherwise any doubt that clear ice may have formed, a close examination shall be made visually and/or physically prior to departure, in order to ensure that surfaces are free of clear ice. If clear ice is believed to be present, deicing is required.

NOTE: Low wing temperatures associated with this type of buildup normally occur when large quantities of cold fuel remain in wing tanks during the turnaround/transit and any subsequent refueling is insufficient to cause a significant increase in fuel temperature.

Version 2 Oct2017


17.4.19 Proximity Sensor Activation Reporting Procedures

An operational procedure shall be in place in circumstances where a proximity sensor on the deicing equipment is activated and/or comes into contact with an aircraft surface. For equipment types furnished with a proximity sensor requiring physical contact in order to activate, in the event of sensor contact, the pilot in command shall be informed immediately, and be provided with specific information pertaining to the location on the aircraft where contact was made. The equipment involved shall remain in position until investigation can occur to inspect the affected area A third party shall visually inspect the affected area for any signs of visual damage. If no visible damage is observed, the de/anti-icing process may continue at the discretion of the pilot in command. If damage is suspected or detected, the pilot in command shall be notified and the de/anti-icing process shall cease. Further inspection of the affected area should be performed by an individual deemed qualified under the air operators program to determine the aircraft’s airworthiness.

NOTE: By design, this type of proximity sensor normally will not cause damage to an aircraft surface if contact is made to a fixed aircraft surface, while the equipment chassis is stationary. In certain circumstances however, damage may occur outside of the sensors design limitations. This includes but is not limited to:

• Contact with an aircraft surface while the equipment chassis is maneuvering;

• Contact with an aircraft surface while the aircraft is maneuvering;

• Contact with a moving/rotating aircraft surface (i.e., propeller, engine fan blade, etc.); and/or

• Contact is made or suspected to have been made between a component of the deicing vehicle and aircraft.

In these circumstances, the procedures mentioned above this note shall apply. Should a proximity sensor be activated, all pertinent and relevant details shall be documented, including (at a minimum):

• Date

• Time

• Vehicle operator name(s)

• Vehicle identification (e.g., number)

• Flight number

• Aircraft registration and/or air operator fleet identification (e.g., fin/tail/ship number, etc.)

• Deicing location (e.g., bay or gate number)

• Location on the aircraft where the contact was made, including specifics (e.g., side, aircraft part, etc.)

• proximity sensor location on the vehicle and point where the contact was made (e.g., nozzle, left side of sensor, etc.)

• Name and job title of the third party individual that performed inspection

• Third party company name (not required if third party is from the de/anti-icing company)

• Result of the third party inspection (e.g., no visual damage detected or damage suspected/present)

Version 2 Oct2017


Ground crew involved in the de/anti-icing operation shall be trained on the operation of the proximity sensor (including equipment reactivation) and procedures in the event of contact. In addition, for those personnel deemed qualified to perform the third party inspection, they shall also be trained on visual inspection requirements and procedures. Flight crew should be trained on the purpose and functionality of a proximity sensor, and the specific company procedures and requirements in the event of contact.

18 Ground Equipment

18.1 Deicing Units

Combustion heaters and trucks shall not be operated in confined or poorly ventilated areas to prevent asphyxiation. Requirements for suitable equipment are described in ARP1971.

• Motorized/trucks (see ARP1971 and ARP5058)

• Non-motorized (tower/gantry/carts)

• Forced air or forced air/fluid equipment for the removal of frozen contaminants (see AIR6284)

18.2 Ice Detection Equipment (see AS5116 amd AS5681)

19 Fluids

19.1 Fluid Storage and Handling

Deicing/anti-icing fluid is a chemical product with an environmental impact. During fluid handling avoid any unnecessary spillage, comply with local environmental and health laws and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet (SDS). Different products shall not be mixed without additional qualification testing. Consult with the fluid manufacturers. Slippery conditions may exist on the ground or equipment following the deicing/anti-icing procedure. Caution should be exercised, particularly under low humidity or non-precipitation weather conditions.

Tanks shall be dedicated to the storage of the deicing and/or anti-icing fluid to avoid contamination with other fluids. Storage tanks shall be constructed of materials compatible with the deicing/anti-icing fluid, as specified by the fluid manufacturer. Care should be taken to avoid using dissimilar metals in contact with each other, as galvanic corrosion may form and degrade thickened fluids. Tanks shall be conspicuously labeled to avoid contamination. As a minimum, the following information must be identified:

• Type of fluid SAE I, II, III, or IV

• Fluid Product Name

• Fluid Concentration or mixture

• e.g., SAE TYPE I Fluid Manufacturer, Product Name, Concentrate Aircraft Deicing Fluid

• e.g., SAE TYPE I Fluid Manufacturer, Product Name, Dilute Aircraft Deicing Fluid

• e.g., SAE Type IV Fluid Manufacture, Product Name, “undiluted”, 75/25 or 50/50

The condition of the tanks shall be examined annually for corrosion, contamination, and/or leaks. If corrosion or contamination is evident, tanks shall be repaired or replaced. Corrosion in tanks most often occurs in the vapor space of partially empty tanks by evaporation and subsequent condensation of water from the deicing fluid. To reduce corrosion, keep tanks containing aircraft deicing fluid full during summer or periods of low use.

Version 2 Oct2017


NOTE: If the quality of the fluids is checked in accordance with 4.3.2, the tank inspection interval may be longer than one year.

NOTE: Although deicing/anti-icing fluids are generally noncorrosive, their vapor can be corrosive.

Storage temperature limits for the fluid shall comply with the manufacturer’s requirements.

19.2 Fluid Transfer Systems

The performance characteristics of SAE Type II, III, and IV deicing/anti-icing fluids may be degraded by excessive mechanical shearing or chemical contamination. Therefore, only compatible pumps, control valves, piping, hoses, and application devices (nozzles) shall be used. The design of fluid transfer systems shall be in accordance with the fluid manufacturer's recommendations. Fluid transfer systems shall be dedicated to the specific fluid being handled to prevent inadvertently mixing fluids of different types or manufacturers. All fill ports and discharge points shall be clearly labeled to prevent inadvertent product mixing. All fill ports must be protected to prevent foreign contamination.

19.3 Heating Heating

Deicing/anti-icing fluids shall be heated according to the fluid manufacturer’s guidelines, and the heated fluids shall be checked periodically.

• For Type I fluids, water loss may cause undesirable aerodynamic effects.

• For Type II / III / IV fluids thermal exposure and/or water loss may cause degradation making them not usable.

CAUTION: Avoid unnecessary heating of fluid in vehicle tanks. Prolonged or repeated heating of fluids (directly or indirectly) may result in loss of water or oxidation which can lead to the performance degradation of the fluid, and may cause viscosity degradation in Type II, III, and IV fluids leading to shorter holdover times. Any of the following situations or a combination of them can accelerate the fluid performance degradation:

• Low fluid usage (turnover)

• Trucks being in standby mode with heating system on for extended periods of time

• High temperatures in the fluid tanks

• High temperatures in water tanks which are in direct contact with the fluid tanks (no insulation between tanks)

The integrity of the fluid following heating shall be checked periodically. Factors like heating rate, time, and temperature cycling should be considered in determining the frequency of fluid inspections. Refer to the fluid manufacturer's recommendations.

19.4 Application Equipment

Check with the fluid manufacturer’s recommendations for filling and fluid transitions in order to prevent fluid contamination and degradation. Requirements for suitable equipment are described in ARP1971. Application equipment shall be clean before being initially filled with deicing/anti-icing fluid in order to prevent fluid contamination.

20 Root Cause Analysis Root Cause Analysis is measured and evaluates performances to identify new hazards, measure the effectiveness of and conformity with described risk controls (including those developed during the SRM processes described in section) to ensure they correspond to the described requirements and maintain risk at or below acceptable levels and Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. It also helps to eliminate the minimal undesirable conditions and/or situations. It is adequate because it precipitates the real causal factors that produces an adverse event or undesirable outcome. Root Cause Analysis can: a) Identify barriers and the causes of problems, so that permanent solutions can be found. b) Present a logical, systematic approach to problem solving. c) Assist to solve problems with data that already exists. d) Identify organizational improvement opportunities. e) Establish repeatable, step-by-step processes, in which one process can confirm the results of another. Root Cause Analysis solely focuses on systems and processes. If a process is broken or needs improvement, then the problem will reoccur continuously. Ultimately, root cause analysis is about prevention—discovering the root causes of problems so that steps can be taken to prevent a reoccurrence. 20.1 Reporting Root Cause Analysis All exposures must be reported to the supervisor immediately following the event, and no later than the end of the work shift in which the event occurs. A Root Cause Analysis will be conducted to determine the cause and actions needed to prevent reoccurrence. Employees will receive additional training if work practices are identified that eliminate the exposure potential. The root cause will be provided to all employees. All exposures and potential exposures require treatment to begin immediately. When unsure whether an event should be reported, then it should be reported. Ultimate Aircraft station management will determine if the event meets guidelines. 20.2 Risk Management Analysis/Assessment The purpose of these steps is to estimate the severity and probability of an outcome (incident or accident) associated with each identified hazard, acceptability of the risk level and the need for risk control. While performing these steps, it is important to have a clear understanding of the hazard, associated outcome and the system since these will affect the risk level and the action taken in response. Risk acceptance ensures that individuals who are in positions to allocate resources are also part of the risk acceptance process. The analysis will consider the credible outcome associated with the hazard to determine “how likely?” it is to occur and “how bad?” it would be. The assessment will quantify the outcome in terms of severity and likelihood and determine acceptability. 20.3 Risk Analysis and Assessment Risk Analysis is the first element in the risk management process. It includes risk identification and risk estimation. Once a hazard has been identified the risks associated with the hazard must be determined and the amount of risk estimated. It is the process whereby hazards are characterized for their likelihood and severity. Risk Assessment takes the work completed during the risk analysis and goes one step further by conducting a risk evaluation. Here, the probability and severity of the hazard are assessed to determine the approximate level of risk. It is the process of measuring or judging the value or potential level of risk. 20.4 Acceptability of Risk Risk management requires a clear understanding of what constitutes acceptable risk, i.e., when benefits outweighs the costs. How much is accepted, or not accepted, is the choice of Top Management. That decision is affected by many inputs. As tradeoffs are considered and operation-planning progresses, it might become evident that some of the safety parameters require adjustment, forcing the company to accept higher risk to

Version 2 Oct2017


ensure successful operation completion. When a Top Management chooses to accept risk, the decision will be coordinated with the applicable manager or supervisor and affected personnel and then documented so everyone will know and understand the rationale. 20.5 Decision making process Ultimate Aircraft Deicing and FEAM Ground’s risk management decision-making follows a logical pattern involving four steps: a) The first step is the accurate identification and assessment of hazards. b) The second step is the analysis and assessment of the risk involved in such hazards and a determination of

whether Ultimate Aircraft Deicing or FEAM Ground is prepared to accept that risk. c) The third step is to find which risks can be eliminated and proceed to eliminate them. d) If none of the identified risks can be eliminated, then the fourth step is to look for the hazards where the

associated risks can be reduced. 20.6 Limitations of the risk assessment process

It is important to be aware of the limitations of the risk assessment process. The process involves subjectivity on the part of each person making the assessment. Consequently, consistency and a need for objectivity and rationality are important in making valid assessments. Hazards/events assessed to be in the Red or High area of the Risk Matrix shall be brought to the attention of top management as soon as possible. Top management will follow the decision-making process above to bring the assessed risk to as low a level of acceptability as possible.

21 Holdover time

Holdover time is obtained by anti-icing fluids remaining on the aircraft surfaces. With a one-step deicing/anti-icing process the holdover time begins at the start of the treatment and with a two-step deicing/anti-icing process at the start of the second step (anti-icing) Holdover time will have effectively run out when frozen deposits start to form/accumulate on treated aircraft surfaces. Due to their properties, Type I fluids form a thin liquid wetting film, which provides limited holdover time, especially in conditions of freezing precipitation. With this type of fluid no additional holdover time would be provided by increasing the concentration of the fluid in the fluid/water mixture. Type II, III, and IV fluids contain a pseudo plastic thickening agent, which enables the fluid to form a thicker liquid wetting film on external aircraft surfaces. This film provides a longer holdover time especially in conditions of freezing precipitation. With this type of fluid, additional holdover time will be provided by increasing the concentration of the fluid/water mixture, with a maximum holdover time available typically from undiluted fluid.

Holdover time guidelines give an indication as to the time frame of protection that could reasonably be expected under conditions of precipitation. However, due to the many variables that can influence holdover time, these times should not be considered as minima or maxima, as the actual time of protection may be extended or reduced, depending upon the particular conditions existing at the time. Holdover time guidelines are established and published by the FAA and TC. The responsibility for the application of this data remains with the user.

CAUTION: Heavy precipitation rates or high moisture content, high wind velocity, or jet blast may reduce holdover time below the lowest time stated in the range. Holdover time may also be reduced when aircraft skin temperature is lower than OAT. Therefore, the indicated times should be used only in conjunction with a pre-takeoff check.

CAUTION: Surface coatings are currently available that may be identified as ice phobic or hydrophobic, enhance the appearance of aircraft external surfaces and/or lead to fuel savings. Since these coatings may affect the fluid wetting capability and the resulting fluid thickness of deicing/anti-icing fluids they have the potential to affect holdover time and aerodynamics. For more information see AIR6232 and consult the aircraft manufacturers.

Summary of Changes from Previous Year

The principal changes from the previous year are briefly indicated herein.

Reformatting of Document and Tables

• Formatting and structural changes have been made to this document for the winter of 2017-18. These changes have been made in support of federal government document accessibility requirements, harmonization efforts between Transport Canada and the FAA, and to improve overall usability of the document. The following changes are of note:

o Some sections of the document have been restructured/reordered and complementary content have been moved to appendices.

o Table titles and numbering have been simplified (all tables now ordered sequentially).

o The number of heading rows and heading columns in holdover time (HOT) tables has been reduced.

o A complete table of contents has been added.

o A how to use this document section has been added.

• Further changes may be implemented in future years.

Holdover Time Tables

• With the exception of the formatting changes described above, the active frost and Type I HOT guidelines are unchanged.

• Fluid-specific HOT guidelines have been created for three new fluids: ABAX ECOWING AD-2 (Type II), Chemco CHEMR EG IV (Type IV), and Oksayd Defrost ECO 4 (Type IV).

• Supplemental testing with a higher viscosity sample of AllClear AeroClear MAX resulted in changes to its holdover times and to its lowest on-wing viscosity value and measurement method.

• Kilfrost ABC-3 (Type II) has been removed from the HOT guidelines as a result of discussions between regulators and the manufacturer.

• Type IV fluids have been removed from the calculation of the Type II generic holdover times as a result of an industry accepted change in protocol.

• Significant changes (both increases and decreases) have been made to the Type II and Type IV generic holdover times as a result of the new and removed fluids and data.

• Changes have been made to snow holdover times for the six fluids listed below as a result of supplemental research in heavy snow conditions.

o Cryotech Polar Guard Advance (100/0, 75/25, 50/50)

o LNT Solutions E450 (Type IV)

• All other Type II/IV fluids retain generic holdover times in very cold snow (generic times are different for ethylene vs. propylene based fluids). Reductions have been made to some very cold snow generic values for propylene based fluids.

• There are now three temperature bands for temperatures below -14 °C in Type II and Type IV HOT tables: below -14 to -18 °C, below -18 to -25 °C, and below -25 °C to LOUT. Fluids with LOUTs ≥-25 °C have two temperature bands: below -14 to -18 °C and below -18 °C to LOUT.

Allowance Times Tables

• The operational guidance for ice pellets and small hail has been relocated to the related FAA N 8900 series notice “Revised FAA-Approved Deicing Program Updates, Winter 2017-2018.” This has been done so that all pertinent guidance material is provided in a single document.

• The precipitation type categories included in the allowance times tables have been modified to reflect METAR reported precipitation types. Specifically, intensity designators have been removed from the second precipitation type in mixed precipitation categories and the resulting duplicate categories have been removed.

Fluid Application Tables

• Changes have been made to the fluid application tables to improve harmonization with the Transport Canada and SAE fluid application tables.

Adjusted Holdover Times for Flaps/Slats Deployed Prior to De/Anti-Icing

• Research into holdover times on deployed flaps/slats began in the winter of 2009-2010, and since 2011-2012 has included cooperative efforts with industry. Data collected has provided a substantive amount of evidence that demonstrates extended flaps/slats can accelerate anti-icing fluid runoff from aircraft wings in turn negatively affecting the protection capacity of the fluid. This results in a potential safety risk. The protection capacity of the fluid is affected by many elements: the aircraft design, the slope of the surface, the type of fluid, the aircraft skin and ambient temperature, the type of precipitation, the amount of fluid applied, and the effective wind.

• To mitigate this safety risk, it was determined by the Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Canada that adjusting the published de/anti-icing fluid holdover and allowance times to 76% of the current published values would provide the sufficient safety margin to safely allow operations when flaps and slats are deployed prior to de/anti-icing. Therefore, when flaps and/or slats are extended to the takeoff configuration prior to de/anti-icing fluid application and remain in that configuration while taxiing to takeoff, the specific HOT and allowance times tables identified as “Adjusted” must be used. These 76% adjusted tables replace the 90% adjusted tables that were published for the winters of 2014-2015 to 2016-2017. Note that the standard holdover and allowance times can be used if flaps and slats are deployed as close to departure as safety allows. The 76% adjusted tables appear in Appendix A of this document.

• Note: Industry data indicates the possibility of increased takeoff misconfigurations when the selection of takeoff flaps is delayed later in the taxi regime. Whether an air carrier chooses to select the flaps/slats to the takeoff configuration prior to beginning the anti-icing process, operators should have robust procedures in place to ensure that the aircraft is properly configured prior to takeoff. Air Carriers should follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures regarding anti-icing operations and the configuration of flaps/slats while taxiing.



Important Note on HOTs for Non-Standard Dilutions of Type II, III, and IV Fluids

• When a Type II, III, or IV fluid is diluted to other than the published 100/0, 75/25 or 50/50

dilutions, the more conservative holdover time and LOUT associated with either the dilution

above or below the selected dilution are applicable. For example:

o The holdover time and LOUT of an 80/20 dilution would be the more conservative holdover time and LOUT of either the 100/0 or 75/25 dilutions;

o The holdover time and LOUT of a 60/40 dilution would be the more conservative holdover time and LOUT of either the 75/25 or 50/50 dilutions.

1. NOTES

1 Type I Fluid / Water Mixture must be selected so that the freezing point of the mixture is at least 10 °C (18 °F) below outside air temperature. 2 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. 3 Changes in outside air temperature (OAT) over the course of longer frost events can be significant; the appropriate holdover time to use is the one provided for the

coldest OAT that has occurred in the time between the de/anti-icing fluid application and takeoff. 4 To use the Type III fluid frost holdover times, the fluid brand being used must be known. AllClear AeroClear MAX must be applied unheated. Clariant Safewing MP III

2031 ECO must be applied heated. 5 Value in parentheses is for aircraft with critical surfaces that are predominantly or entirely constructed of composite materials.

2. CAUTIONS

• The responsibility for the application of these data remains with the user.

• Fluids used during ground de/anti-icing do not provide in-flight icing protection.

• This table is for departure planning only and should be used in conjunction with pretakeoff check procedures.

2. CAUTIONS


• The time of protection will be shortened in heavy weather conditions. Heavy precipitation rates or high moisture content, high wind velocity, or jet blast may reduce holdover time below the lowest time stated in the range. Holdover time may be reduced when aircraft skin temperature is lower than outside air temperature.

2 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. Consider use of Type I fluid when Type III fluid cannot be used. 3 To determine snowfall intensity, the Snowfall Intensities as a Function of Prevailing Visibility table (Table 40) is required. 4 Use light freezing rain holdover times in conditions of very light or light snow mixed with light rain. 5 Use light freezing rain holdover times if positive identification of freezing drizzle is not possible. 6 No holdover time guidelines exist for this condition for 0 °C (32 °F) and below. 7 Heavy snow, ice pellets, moderate and heavy freezing rain, small hail and hail.

1. NOTES

1 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. Consider use of Type I fluid when Type IV fluid cannot be used. 2 To determine snowfall intensity, the Snowfall Intensities as a Function of Prevailing Visibility table (Table 40) is required. 3 Use light freezing rain holdover times in conditions of very light or light snow mixed with light rain. 4 Use light freezing rain holdover times if positive identification of freezing drizzle is not possible. 5 No holdover time guidelines exist for this condition for 0 °C (32 °F) and below. 6 Heavy snow, ice pellets, moderate and heavy freezing rain, small hail and hail (Table 39 provides allowance times for ice pellets and small hail). 7 No holdover time guidelines exist for this condition below -10 °C (14 °F).

1. NOTES

1 These allowance times are for use with undiluted (100/0) fluids applied unheated on aircraft with rotation speeds of 100 knots or greater.

2 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. 3 No allowance times exist in this condition for temperatures below 0 °C; consider use of light ice pellets mixed with

freezing rain. 4 If no intensity is reported with small hail, use the “moderate ice pellets or small hail” allowance times. If an intensity is

reported with small hail, the ice pellet condition with the equivalent intensity can be used, e.g. if light small hail is reported, the “light ice pellets” allowance times can be used. This also applies in mixed conditions, e.g. if light small hail mixed with snow is reported, use the “light ice pellets mixed with snow” allowance times.

2. CAUTIONS




• Allowance time cannot be extended by an inspection of the aircraft critical surfaces.

• Takeoff is allowed up to 90 minutes after start of fluid application if the precipitation stops at or before the allowance time expires and does not restart. The OAT must not decrease during the 90 minutes to use this guidance in conditions of light ice pellets mixed with either: freezing drizzle, freezing rain, or rain.

1. NOTES

1 These allowance times are for use with undiluted (100/0) fluids applied on aircraft with rotation speeds of 100 knots or greater. All Type IV fluids are propylene glycol based with the exception of CHEMCO ChemR EG IV, Clariant Max Flight AVIA, Clariant Safewing EG IV NORTH, Dow EG106 and LNT Solutions E450, which are ethylene glycol based.

2 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. 3 No allowance times exist for propylene glycol (PG) fluids when used on aircraft with rotation speeds less than 115 knots.

(For these aircraft, if the fluid type is not known, assume zero allowance time.) 4 No allowance times exist in this condition for temperatures below 0 °C; consider use of light ice pellets mixed with



6 Allowance time is 15 minutes for propylene glycol (PG) fluids or when the fluid type is unknown. 7 No allowance times exist for propylene glycol (PG) fluids in this condition for temperatures below -16 °C. 8 No allowance times exist in this condition for temperatures below 0 °C.

2. CAUTIONS





• Takeoff is allowed up to 90 minutes after start of fluid application if the precipitation stops at or before the allowance time expires and does not restart. The OAT must not decrease during the 90 minutes to use this guidance in conditions of light ice pellets mixed with either: freezing drizzle, freezing rain or rain.

NOTE 1: This table is for estimating snowfall intensity. It is based upon the technical report, “The Estimation of Snowfall Rate Using Visibility,” Rasmussen, et al., Journal of

Applied Meteorology, October 1999 and additional in situ data.

NOTE 2: This table is to be used with Type I, II, III, and IV fluid guidelines.

NOTE 3: The use of Runway Visual Range (RVR) is not permitted for determining visibility used with the holdover tables.

NOTE 4: Some METARS contain tower visibility as well as surface visibility. Whenever surface visibility is available from an official source, such as a METAR, in either the main

body of the METAR or in the Remarks (“RMK”) section, the preferred action is to use the surface visibility value.

NOTE 5: If visibility from a source other than the METAR is used, round to the nearest visibility in the table, rounding down if it is right in between two values. For example, .6 and

.625 (5/8) would both be rounded to .5 (1/2).

HEAVY = Caution—No Holdover Time Guidelines Exist

During snow conditions alone, the use of Table 40 in determining snowfall intensities does not require pilot company coordination or company reporting procedures since

this table is more conservative than the visibility table used by official weather observers in determining snowfall intensities.

Because the FAA Snowfall Intensities Table, like the FMH-1 Table, uses visibility to determine snowfall intensities, if the visibility is being reduced by snow along with other forms of obscuration such as fog, haze, smoke, etc., the FAA Snowfall Intensities Table does not need to be used to estimate the snowfall intensity for HOT determination



during the presence of these obscurations. Use of the FAA Snowfall Intensities as a Function of Prevailing Visibility Table under these conditions may needlessly overestimate the actual snowfall intensity. Therefore, the snowfall intensity being reported by the weather observer or automated surface observing system (ASOS), from the FMH-1 Table, may be used.

CAUTIONS AND NOTES FOR TABLES 41, 42, 43, 44 CAUTIONS

• This table lists fluids that have been tested with respect to anti-icing performance and aerodynamic acceptance (Type I: SAE AMS1424 §3.5.2 and §3.5.3; Type II/ III/ IV: SAE AMS1428 §3.2.4 and §3.2.5) only. These tests were conducted by Anti-icing Materials International Laboratory: www.uqac.ca/amil. The end

user is responsible for contacting the fluid manufacturer to confirm all other SAE AMS1424/1428 technical requirement tests, such as fluid stability, toxicity, materials compatibility, etc. have been conducted.

• LOUT data provided in these tables is based strictly on the manufacturer’s data; the end user is responsible for verifying the validity of this data.

• Type I fluids supplied in concentrated form must not be used in that form and must be diluted.

NOTES

1 PG = conventional glycol (propylene glycol); EG = conventional glycol (ethylene glycol); DEG = conventional glycol (diethylene glycol); NCG = non-

conventional glycol (organic non-ionic diols and triols, e.g. 1,3-propanediol, glycerine) and mixtures of non-conventional glycol and conventional glycol; NG = non-glycol (e.g. organic salts) and mixtures of non-glycol and glycol.

2 Expiry date is the earlier expiry date of the Aerodynamic Test(s) or Water Spray Endurance Test. Fluids that are tested after the issuance of this list will appear

in a later update.

3 The values in this table were determined using test results from pre-production fluid samples when available. In some cases, the fluid manufacturer requested the publication of a more conservative value than the pre-production test value. The lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) for a given fluid is the higher

(warmer) of:

• a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft type;

• b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer (Type I = 10 °C/18 °F; Type II/III/IV = 7 °C/13 °F); or

• c) For diluted Type II/III/IV fluids, the coldest temperature for which holdover times are published.

4 The LOUT for Type I fluids that are intended to be diluted is derived from a dilution that provides the lowest operational use temperature. For other Type I dilutions, determine the freezing point of the fluid and add a 10 °C freezing point buffer, as a dilution will usually yield a higher and more restrictive operational

use temperature. Consult the fluid manufacturer or fluid documentation for further clarification and guidance on establishing the appropriate operational use temperature of a diluted fluid.

5 Type I concentrate fluids have also been tested at 50/50 (glycol/water) dilution.

6 If uncertain whether the aircraft to be treated conforms to the low speed or the high speed aerodynamic test, consult the aircraft manufacturer. The aerodynamic

test is defined in SAE AS5900 (latest version).

7 The viscosity values in this table are those of the fluids provided by the manufacturers for holdover time testing. For the holdover times to be valid, the viscosity

of the fluid on the wing shall not be lower than that in this table. The user should periodically ensure that the viscosity of a fluid sample taken from the wing surface is not lower than that listed.

8 The SAE AS9968 viscosity method should only be used for field verification and auditing purposes; when in doubt as to which method is appropriate, use the manufacturer method. Viscosity measurement methods are indicated as letters (in parentheses) beside each viscosity value. Details of each measurement method

are shown in the table below. The exact measurement method (spindle, container, fluid volume, temperature, speed, duration) must be used to compare the viscosity of a sample to a viscosity given in this table.

* Spindle must be attached to a Brookfield viscometer model equipped with an LV spring.

** Sample temperature will affect readings; ensure sufficient time is allowed for sample to reach thermal equilibrium before starting test. Use of a cooling bath strongly recommended.

*** If necessary, adjust fluid volume to ensure fluid is level with notch on the spindle shaft.

9 Fluids listed in italics have expired and will be removed from this listing four years after expiry.

10 Manufacturer has indicated fluid was not tested.

11 Manufacturer has not provided fluid information as required in SAE ARP5718A; fluid may be removed from this listing in subsequent revisions.

12 Dow UCAR™ ADF Concentrate, sold under the product name Inland ADF Concentrate, qualified from 2015-09-04.

13 Currently in the test/re-test process.

14 Fluid was not retested for low speed aerodynamics. This data will be removed four years after the expiry of the last low speed test.

15 Measurements using the SAE AS9968 method do not provide stable, reliable results. Use the manufacturer method to evaluate viscosity.

1. NOTES

1 Fluids must not be used at temperatures below their lowest operational use temperature (LOUT). 2 To be applied before first-step fluid freezes, typically within 3 minutes. (This time may be higher than 3 minutes in some

conditions, but potentially lower in heavy precipitation, colder temperatures, or for critical surfaces constructed of composite materials. If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)

2. CAUTIONs

• This table is applicable for the use of Type I holdover time guidelines in all conditions, including active frost. If holdover times are not required, a temperature of 60 °C (140 °F) at the nozzle is desirable.

• If holdover times are required, the temperature of water or fluid/water mixtures shall be at least 60 °C (140 °F) at the nozzle. Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufacturers’ recommendations.

• To use Type I Holdover Times Guidelines in all conditions including active frost, an additional minimum of 1 litre/m2 (~2 gal./100 sq. ft.) of heated Type I fluid mixture must be applied to the surfaces after all frozen contamination is removed. This application is necessary to heat the surfaces, as heat contributes significantly to the Type I fluid holdover times. The required protection can be provided using a 1-step method by applying more fluid than is strictly needed to just remove all of the frozen contamination (the same additional amount stated above is required).

• The lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) for a given Type I fluid is the higher (warmer) of:

a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft type, or

b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus a freezing point buffer of 10 °C (18 °F).

• Wing skin temperatures may differ and, in some cases, be lower than the OAT. A stronger mix (more glycol) may be needed under these conditions.

1. NOTES

1 One step or second step fluids must not be used at temperatures below their lowest operational use temperature (LOUT). First step fluids must not be used below their freezing points. Consideration should be given to the use of Type I/III fluid when Type II/IV fluid cannot be used due to LOUT limitations (see Table 45, 47, 48). The LOUT for a given Type II/IV fluid is the higher (warmer) of:

a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft type; b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 7 °C (13 °F); or c) For diluted Type II/IV fluids, the coldest temperature for which holdover times are published.

2 To be applied before first step fluid freezes, typically within 3 minutes. (Time may be longer than 3 minutes in some conditions, but potentially shorter in heavy precipitation, in colder temperatures, or for critical surfaces constructed of composite materials. If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)

3 Clean aircraft may be anti-iced with unheated fluid.

2. CAUTIONS

• For heated fluids, a fluid temperature not less than 60 °C (140 °F) at the nozzle is desirable.

• Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufacturers’ recommendations.

• Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some cases may be lower than the OAT. A stronger mix (more glycol) may be needed under these conditions.

• Whenever frost or ice occurs on the lower surface of the wing in the area of the fuel tank, indicating a cold soaked wing, the 50/50 dilutions of Type II or IV shall not be used for the anti-icing step because fluid freezing may occur.

• An insufficient amount of anti-icing fluid may cause a substantial loss of holdover time. This is particularly true when using a Type I fluid mixture for the first step in a two-step procedure.

1. NOTES

1 One step or second step fluids must not be used at temperatures below their lowest operational use temperature (LOUT). First step fluids must not be used below their freezing points. Consider the use of Type I when Type III fluid cannot be used (see Table 45). The LOUT for a given Type III fluid is the higher (warmer) of:

a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft type; b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 7 °C (13 °F); or c) For diluted Type III fluid, the coldest temperature for which holdover times are published.

2 To be applied before first step fluid freezes, typically within 3 minutes. (Time may be longer than 3 minutes in some conditions, but potentially shorter in heavy precipitation, in colder temperatures, or for critical surfaces constructed of composite materials. If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)

3 For heated fluids, a fluid temperature not less than 60 °C (140 °F) at the nozzle is desirable.

2. CAUTIONS

• To use Type III Holdover Times Guidelines in all conditions including active frost, an additional minimum of 1 litre/m2 (~2 gal./100 sq. ft.) of heated Type III fluid mixture must be applied to the surfaces after all frozen contamination is removed. This application is necessary to heat the surfaces, as heat contributes significantly to the Type III fluid holdover times. The required protection can be provided using a 1-step method by applying more fluid than is strictly needed to just remove all of the frozen contamination (the same additional amount stated above is required).

• If holdover times are required, the temperature of fluid/water mixtures shall be at least 60 °C (140 °F) at the nozzle. Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufacturers’ recommendations.


• Whenever frost or ice occurs on the lower surface of the wing in the area of the fuel tank, indicating a cold soaked wing, the 50/50 dilutions of Type III shall not be used for the anti-icing step because fluid freezing may occur.

1. NOTES

1 One step or second step fluids must not be used at temperatures below their lowest operational use temperature (LOUT). First step fluids must not be used below their freezing points. Consider the use of Type I when Type III fluid cannot be used (see Table 45). The LOUT for a given Type III fluid is the higher (warmer) of:

a) The lowest temperature at which the fluid meets the aerodynamic acceptance test for a given aircraft type; b) The actual freezing point of the fluid plus its freezing point buffer of 7 °C (13 °F); or c) For diluted Type III fluid, the coldest temperature for which holdover times are published.

2 To be applied before first step fluid freezes, typically within 3 minutes. (This time may be longer than 3 minutes in some conditions, but potentially shorter in heavy precipitation, in colder temperatures, or for critical surfaces constructed of composite materials. If necessary, the second step shall be applied area by area.)

3 For heated fluids, a fluid temperature not less than 60 °C (140 °F) at the nozzle is desirable. 4 One-step procedure with unheated Type III fluid is only possible on a clean aircraft. If deicing is required, a two-step

procedure must be used.

2. CAUTIONS

• Upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and aircraft manufacturers’ recommendations.


• Whenever frost or ice occurs on the lower surface of the wing in the area of the fuel tank, indicating a cold soaked wing, the 50/50 dilutions of Type III shall not be used for the anti-icing step because fluid freezing may occur.

Appendix A: Adjusted Holdover Time Guidelines

These tables are for use when flaps/slats are deployed prior to de/anti-icing. Holdover and

allowance times have been adjusted to 76 percent of standard times. Standard holdover and

allowance times can be used if flaps and slats are deployed as close to departure as safety

allows.

THIS TABLE IS FOR USE WHEN FLAPS/SLATS ARE DEPLOYED PRIOR TO DE/ANTI-ICING. HOLDOVER TIMES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO 76 PERCENT.

1. NOTES

1 Type I Fluid / Water Mixture must be selected so that the freezing point of the mixture is at least 10 °C (18 °F) below outside air temperature. 2 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. 3 Changes in outside air temperature (OAT) over the course of longer frost events can be significant; the appropriate holdover time to use is the one provided for the

coldest OAT that has occurred in the time between the de/anti-icing fluid application and takeoff. 4 To use the Type III fluid frost holdover times, the fluid brand being used must be known. AllClear AeroClear MAX must be applied unheated. Clariant Safewing MP III

2031 ECO must be applied heated. 5 Value in parentheses is for aircraft with critical surfaces that are predominantly or entirely constructed of composite materials.

1 These holdover times are for aircraft conforming to the SAE AS5900 low speed aerodynamic test criterion. Fluid must be applied unheated to use these holdover times. No holdover times exist for this fluid applied heated.

2 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. Consider use of Type I fluid when Type III fluid cannot be used. 3 To determine snowfall intensity, the Snowfall Intensities as a Function of Prevailing Visibility table (Table 40) is required. 4 Use light freezing rain holdover times in conditions of very light or light snow mixed with light rain. 5 Use light freezing rain holdover times if positive identification of freezing drizzle is not possible. 6 No holdover time guidelines exist for this condition for 0 °C (32 °F) and below. 7 Heavy snow, ice pellets, moderate and heavy freezing rain, small hail and hail.

39. NOTES

1 Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. Consider use of Type I fluid when Type IV fluid cannot be used. 2 To determine snowfall intensity, the Snowfall Intensities as a Function of Prevailing Visibility table (Table 40) is required. 3 Use light freezing rain holdover times in conditions of very light or light snow mixed with light rain. 4 Use light freezing rain holdover times if positive identification of freezing drizzle is not possible. 5 No holdover time guidelines exist for this condition for 0 °C (32 °F) and below. 6 Heavy snow, ice pellets, moderate and heavy freezing rain, small hail and hail (Table ADJ-39 provides allowance times for ice pellets and small hail). 7 No holdover time guidelines exist for this condition below -10 °C (14 °F). 8 If the LOUT is unknown, no holdover time guidelines exist below -22.5 °C (-8.5 °F).
