    Section 2 - Aircraft Servicing Cold Weather Procedures (Deicing / Anti-Icing) General Icing conditions can exist when the outside air temperature on the ground or Total Air Temperature (TAT) during flight is +10 °C (50 °F) or colder, and visible moisture in any form is present.

    Section 2 - Aircraft Servicing Fluids There are four standard aircraft deicing and anti-icing fluids: − Type I deicing fluid can be used to quickly melt and remove frost or other ice formations. As these are the thinnest of the fluids, as airflow increases over the surface, the fluid is easily blown off the surface.

    Section 2 - Aircraft Servicing Deicing CAUTION WHEN YOU REMOVE ICE, SNOW OR SLUSH FROM THE AIRCRAFT SURFACE, TAKE CARE TO PREVENT ENTRY AND ACCUMULATION OF ICE, SNOW OR SLUSH INTO CONTROL SURFACE HINGE AREAS. Note Deicing/anti-icing fluid may splash onto heated surfaces such as air data probes. This can produce significant vapour.

  • Page 90 Section 2 - Aircraft Servicing Deicing / Anti-icing the Wings, Stabilizers and Fuselage Note Deicing/anti-icing can be a one-step or a two-step process. Step one deices the aircraft, and if necessary, step two anti-ices the aircraft before take-off. The one-step process uses heated deicing fluid to remove contamination . It also gives some anti-icing protection to the aircraft.

    Section 2 - Aircraft Servicing Deicing / Anti-icing the Landing Gear CAUTION APPLY ONLY THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DE-ICING/ANTI-ICING FLUID NEEDED TO THE LANDING GEAR. DO NOT DIRECT DEICING/ANTI-ICING FLUID ONTO THE BRAKES, WHEELS OR TIRES. Remove the build up of slush, ice or snow from the landing gear with a brush. If contamination deposits are bonded to the surface, remove the contamination with sprayed deicing/anti-icing fluid.

  • Page 94: Pre Take-Off Check

    Section 2 - Aircraft Servicing Pre Take-Off Check The pilot in command, with assistance from the ground crew, must make sure that all critical surfaces are free from ice, snow and frost formations before take-off. After the deicing/anti-icing procedure and before take-off, the pilot in command must do a pre take-off check to make sure that all critical surfaces are free of contamination.
