e. Delta/Delta Connection Stations


1) The Local Station De/Anti-Icing Plan
Each Delta station that conducts de/anti-icing due to inclement weather is
required to have a Local Station De/Anti-icing Plan. The purpose of the Plan
is to ensure that all persons who have duties, responsibilities, and functions
during de/anti-icing operations perform them in accordance with this
document, and that adequate management oversight of the Plan is
maintained. The Plan must be kept in a binder in a readily accessible
location.
There are some stations that do not need a Local Station De-icing Plan due
to geographical location, meteorological history, and operational experience.
These stations are listed below.
Stations that do not perform any de-icing are: ATH, AUA, BCN, BDA, BOG,
BOM, CCS, CUN, GCM, GDL, CRU, GUA, HNL, LAX, LIM, LIR, MAD, MEX,
MJB, NAS, NCE, OGG, ONT, PTY, SAL, SAN, SCL, SJO, SJU, SNA, STT,
SXM.
Stations that de-ice cold soaked aircraft are: DAB, FLL, MCO, MIA, MLB,
MSY, OAK, PBI, PHX, RSW, SFO, SRQ, TPA, and VPS. These stations are
required to update their (J) GXRICE template a minimum of once a season
which must be accomplished at the beginning of Delta's de-icing season,
September 1. These stations are exempted from performing monthly
updates, but must update the template as the information within changes.
The Plan must include:
A title, De-icing Plan for _____ _____, where the station name is placed in
the first blank and the year in the second.
A statement naming the individual who is responsible for the development
and revision of the plan.

Instructions stating when to initiate the Local De/Anti-icing Plan


This GXRICE (or JGXRICE) file must be maintained monthly and as
conditions/data change from September 1 to April 30.

Note:The Local De/Anti-icing Plan will be initiated either at, or prior to the
onset of frozen precipitation that can be reasonably expected to
adhere to aircraft surfaces. If the Plan is initiated prior to the
precipitation event, this decision will be based on forecasts from
local, national, Delta meteorologists, personal observations, and
information from flight crews.
f. The Local Airport De-icing Plan (LADP) for Delta/Delta Connection Stations
The Local Airport De-icing Plan details how local Air Traffic Control (ATC), airport
operations and maintenance, and airlines work together to facilitate efficient
airport operation during icing conditions. The local airport manager is
responsible for development of the LADP.
The goal for this plan is to achieve common solutions to local de/anti-icing
problems with emphasis placed on the development of local strategies that
minimize the amount of time an aircraft spends on the ground after being de-/
anti-iced.
Local Delta management is strongly encouraged to contact the airport manager
to request participation in the development of this plan.
g. United/ United Express Stations
Local Management is responsible for developing all the essentials for the Station
Winter Operations Plan for deicing/anti-icing. This plan, to be developed or
updated by the Station Readiness Date, includes all duties, responsibilities,
instructions, and station procedures to be used by ground personnel and
management for safe deicing/anti-icing of all aricraft for dispatch. The Station
Readiness Date is determined by United/United Express stations through
viewing display(*)22151 in the airline computer system. Listed in display(*)22151
are the first expected snofall dates for cold weather stations and this constitues
the Station Readiness DAte. The station(s) General Manager - Customer
Service must ensure local compliance with the UA Ground Deicing/Anti-Icing
Program(GDAP), and is responsible for maintaining a written Station Winer
Operations Plan.
2. Ground Operations
a. Availability of Sufficient Competent Personnel
The Station Manager is responsible for ensuring sufficient trained personnel are
available during deicing/anti-icing conditions. A Winter Operations Coordinator,
or his/her trained delegate must be available during all periods of flight activity
when deicing/anti-icing might be required.
b. Adequate Training of Personnel 14 CFR 121.629(2)(c)
The Station Manager is responsible to ensure that deicing ground crews receive
initial and annual recurrent training and testing which includes all general and
specific requirements of the Chautauqua Airlines approved Deicing/Anti-Icing
Program.

REV. 2, 01 FEB 2006

The wings of aircraft are said to be cold soaked


SAE, FAA
when they contain very cold fuel after flight at high
altitude or after refueling with very cold fuel.
Whenever precipitation falls on a cold-soaked
aircraft while on the ground, clear icing may occur.
Even in ambient temperatures between 2C and
15C, ice or frost can form in the presence of visible
moisture or high humidity if the aircraft structure
remains at 0C or below. The following factors
contribute to cold soaking: temperature and quantity
of fuel in fuel cells, type and location of fuel cells,
length of time at high altitude, temperature of
refueled fuel, and time since refueling.
Visual inspection of the aircraft with emphasis on
critical surfaces as defined for the specific aircraft
type. The inspection must be done whenever the
ground deicing/anti-ice program has been
implemented, but may be completed at the
discretion of the flightcrew. This inspection must
incorporate contamination recognition techniques.
The purpose of the cold weather preflight inspection
is to detect the presence of frozen contaminates
adhering to the aircraft and to serve as the basis for
deciding whether or not to deice/anti-ice the aircraft.
A surface of an aeroplane, which shall be
SAE ARP
completely free of ice, snow, slush, or frost before
takeoff. Critical surfaces shall be determined by the
aeroplane manufacturer.

A combination of the two procedures of deicing and
anti-icing. It can be performed in one or two steps.
One-step deicing/anti-icing is performed using
heated deicing/anti-icing fluids. The correct fluid
concentration is chosen with regard to desired
holdover time, dictated by OAT and weather
conditions.
Consists of two distinct steps. The first step,
deicing, is followed by the second step, anti-icing,
as a separate process. Anti-icing fluid is applied to
protect the relevant surfaces thus providing
maximum possible anti-icing capability.

particles are up to2.5mm or 25 grams/dm/hour (0.10
in/h) with maximum of 0.25 mm (0.01in) in 6
minutes.
Industry Standard, SAE 4737 fluids whose
viscosities are shear independent and time
independent. The shear rate of a Newtonian fluid is
directly proportional to the shear stress. The fluid
will begin to move immediately upon application of
a stress; it has no yield stress to overcome before
flow begins.
Industry Standard, SAE 4737 fluids whose
viscosities are shear and time dependent and whose
shear rate is not directly proportional to its shear
stress. The fluid will not begin to move
immediately upon application of a stress, it has a
yield stress to overcome before flow begins.
A check that must be accomplished from outside the
aircraft. Section 121.629 (d) requires an OTAC of a
certificate holder who operates in ground icing
conditions without an approved Part 121 ground
deicing/anti-icing program. For those operators
without an approved program, any time frost, ice, or
snow may reasonably be expected to adhere to the
aircraft, an OTAC must be performed to ensure that
the wings, control surfaces, and other critical
surfaces are free of contamination. An OTAC must
occur within 5 minutes prior to beginning the
takeoff.
This procedure is performed prior to departure. It is
conducted to note any adhering aircraft surface
contamination and direct any required deicing/antiicing operations. This check is normally conducted
by flightcrew during preflight check.

REV. 2, 01 FEB 2006

Deicing/anti-icing procedures include a check to


ensure all critical surfaces are free of adhering
contamination performed by qualified ground
personnel after the deicing/anti-icing fluid
application has been completed. This check is an
integral part of the aircraft deicing/anti-icing
procedure. No aircraft shall takeoff after a
deicing/anti-icing operation unless the aircraft has
received a final check by a responsible authorized
person.
A check of the representative or critical surfaces for
adhering contamination performed by the flight
crew prior to takeoff and within the holdover time.
This is a check normally made by observing
representative surfaces from the flight deck, cabin,
or outside the aircraft, depending on the type of
aircraft and the operators FAA-approved program.
A check of the critical surfaces for adhering
contamination. This check is accomplished after the
holdover time has been exceeded and must be
completed within 5 minutes prior to beginning
takeoff. The check must be accomplished from
outside the aircraft, unless the certificate holders
program specifies otherwise (e.g. flight crew check
from cabin). Certificate holder approved alternate
procedures consisting of procedures, techniques, or
equipment (such as wing icing sensors) may also be
used to establish that the critical surfaces are free of
adhering contamination.
Precipitation of liquid water particles, either in the
form of drops of more than 0.5 mm in diameter or
smaller drops which, in contrast to drizzle, are
widely separated.
Water forming ice or frost on the wing surface,
when the temperature of the aircraft wing surface is
at or below 0C (32F)
Aircraft surfaces which the flight crew can readily
observe to determine whether or not ice, frost, or
snow is accumulating or forming on that surface.
A deposit of ice, produced by freezing of super
cooled fog or cloud droplets on objects at
temperatures below or slightly above freezing. It is
composed of grains separated by air, sometimes
adorned with crystalline branches.

Shear Force

Slush

Snow

Supercooled Large
Droplets

REV. 2, 01 FEB 2006

Shear force is a force applied laterally on an antiicing fluid. When applied to a Type II, Type III, or
Type IV fluid the shear force will reduce the
viscosity of the fluid; when the shear force is no
longer applied, the anti-icing fluid should recover its
viscosity. Shear forces are applied whenever the
fluid is pumped, forced through an orifice (nozzle)
or when subjected to airflow. If excessive shear
force is applied, the thickener system could be
permanently degraded and the anti-icing fluid
viscosity may not recover and fluid performance can
be affected.
Snow or ice that has been reduced to a soft watery
mixture by rain, warm temperature and/or chemical
treatment.
Precipitation of ice crystals, most of which are
branched, star-shaped, or mixed with unbranched
crystals. At temperatures higher than 5C (23F), the
crystals are generally agglomerated into snowflakes.
Large droplets of extremely cold but not frozen,
water that is up to 10 to 100 times larger than
typical rain droplets. These SLD can pose
significant hazards to aircraft, leading to severe inflight icing during SLD conditions. Ice protection
systems, such as heated wings, propellers,
windshields, and pneumatic boots do not always
protect an aircraft from SLD conditions since they
can impact aircraft behind these surfaces.

General Information
Section 1

Winter Operations

A. General
1. Winter is a demanding season for the airline. The routine daily operations require
much more attention to detail, such as:
a. Runway conditions
b. Snow removal
c. Aircraft heating
2. Deicing is the removal of snow, ice and frost from an aircraft. Deicing is necessary
since even small amounts of contamination can disrupt the airflow over critical
aircraft surfaces, as well as add significant weight to the aircraft. When disruption of
airflow occurs over the wing and horizontal tail surfaces, lift is reduced which can
result in the aircraft becoming unstable when attempting flight, or preventing the
aircraft from flying at all. Even a small amount of substance build-up on aircraft
surfaces can adversely affect aircraft stability. Wind tunnel flight tests indicate that
formation of snow, ice, or frost on the leading edge or the upper surfaces of a wing
which has a thickness and surface roughness similar to medium or coarse
sandpaper can reduce wing lift by as much as 30% and increase drag by 40%. The
significant changes in lift and drag will increase stall speed, reduce controllability,
and alter flight characteristics. It is imperative that an aircraft not be released for
takeoff unless all critical components of the aircraft are free from adhering snow,
frost, or other ice formations.14 CFR 121.629(c)(2)(iv)
3. Anti-icing is the application of an anti-icing fluid providing protection against the
formation of frost, ice, or the accumulation of frozen precipitation on aircraft flight
surfaces.
4. The Civil Aeronautics Board, in 1950, established the Clean Aircraft Concept
which prohibits takeoff of an aircraft when frost, snow, or ice is adhering to wings or
control surfaces of that aircraft. This regulation remains in effect.

5. Extremely severe frozen precipitation may create conditions such that an aircraft
cannot be made safe for flight regardless of deicing efforts. If it appears a condition
is developing, the Captain is to be advised.
6. Chautauqua Airlines aircraft have been designed to fly through moderate icing
conditions. Ice build-up in flight can be handled by the aircrafts deicing and antiicing systems. Ice build-up in flight is of a different nature than ground
accumulations which can spread over the entire surface and have a greater impact
on the aircrafts ability to fly.
7. The freezing point of water is decreased by the use of glycol/water fluid mix to deice
the aircraft.
8. Chautauqua Airlines and its vendors have a number of different deice units in use.
Stations may be responsible for deicing several different types of aircraft, or deicing
may be conducted by an outside contracted agency.

B. Duties and Responsibilities 14 CFR 121.629(c)(1)(iv)


1. Station Manager
a. Ensure an adequate supply of deicing/anti-icing fluid is available.
b. Ensure the station is in compliance with the policies and procedures outlined in
this manual.

deicing/anti-icing equipment and facilities. 14 CFR 121.105
d. Ensure deicing/anti-icing equipment and facilities are properly maintained.
e. Ensure all employees responsible for winter operations duties are properly
trained and qualified.
f. Assign a Winter Operations Coordinator (WOC) for each shift during the winter
operations period. The Station Manager will act as the Winter Operations Coordinator when he/she is on duty. The Station Manager is responsible for designating a specific employee as WOC for each shift the Station Manager is not on
duty.
g. Arrange local agreements, as necessary, with the Airport Manager, for acceptable locations for deicing operations and pre-takeoff inspections, and any other
arrangements required to ensure effective winter operations.
2. Winter Operations Coordinator (WOC) 14 CFR 121.629(c)(1)(ii), 121.629(c)(1)(iv)
a. Monitor forecast weather conditions and adjust assets (personnel and equipment) and/or vendor instructions to prepare for potential deicing operation.
b. Determine when weather conditions could result in frost, ice, or snow adhering

Interphones or VHF radio when available. Should the intercommunications system or
radio not be available, the information will be communicated verbally or in writing.
Each code share has specific information that must be relayed to the flight crew, listed
below are the requirements for each code share partner:

Communication Similarities Applicable to All Approved


Programs
1) Chautauqua Airlines and all code share partners use the following method
when communicating mixture ratio to the flight crew: the first number denotes
deicing fluid, i.e. 55/45, 55% would represent the amount of deicing fluid and
45% would represent the amount of water in the mixture.
2) When individuals are specifically assigned deicing responsibilities, the station
will maintain a log of the individuals deicing the aircraft. In those cases, the
employee number, or the name of the person certifying the aircraft is clean
and ready for departure does not have to be communicated to the flight crew.
Chautauqua Airlines and US Airways Express Communication
1) fluid type
2) mixture ratio (for Type IV fluid only)
3) start time of final deice/anti-ice application
4) verification that the post deice and tactile (if applicable), and/or post anti-ice
check have been completed (aircraft is ready for departure)

Note: A "thumbs-up" from the ramp by the person accomplishing


deicing/anti-icing, or the ground deicing supervisor is an
indication that the post deice and tactile, and/or post anti-ice check
have been completed and the aircraft is clean and ready for
departure. This procedure may be used in lieu of the required
communication identified in (4) above. This is not considered a
wave-off for taxi.

1. Person Accepting Glycol Shipment
a. Ensure the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are obtained from the supplier
and are available to employees who will be using the deicing fluid. Material
Safety Data Sheets will be kept on file or in a binder at the station where
employees can have direct access.
b. Ensure the deicing fluid is stored in accordance with federal, state, and local
requirements.

A. Ground Safety
1. Winter operations require more careful handling of ground equipment. Accidents
dont just happen, they are caused. Accidents not only cost money, but can inflict
injury to someone or you. Some basic causes of accidents which we have control
over are:
a. Failure to use safe driving practices. Hurrying to get the flight out.
b. Faulty equipment. Deicing truck with one windshield wiper working, or a
baggage cart with no brakes.
c. Failure to use protective equipment. Ear muffs protect your hearing.
d. Improper housekeeping. Water on the operation floor or in the passenger lounge
could cause a fall.
e. Lack of training. Insufficient snow removal could result in damage to an aircraft
wing with a squeegee.
f. Poor discipline. Failure to enforce safety procedures could result in careless
habits.
g. Failure to obtain help. Not using a guideperson could result in hitting an aircraft
when backing up the deicing unit.
h. Haste. Unnecessary hurrying to get off on time.
i. Inattention. Daydreaming of Hawaii.
2. DO NOT MOVE equipment up to an aircraft before engines stop rotating & wheel
chocks are in position.
3. DO NOT maneuver equipment near the aircraft in an unsafe manner (too fast for
good control on wet/slippery ramp areas).
4. DO NOT drive equipment too close to aircraft.
5. DO NOT pile baggage and cargo too high on carts.
6. NEVER signal aircraft in close quarters without appropriate guidance.
7. ALWAYS set brakes or chock equipment.
8. A safe operation is more important than an on-time operation. Take the time to be
safe.

B. How To Build Safe Attitudes


1. Safe attitudes grow in a can do environment of mutual respect:
a. They grow as a result of example.
b. They grow if safety instruction and correction is consistent.
c. They grow if backed by firm guidance.
d. They grow if employees have a chance to talk out how accidents can be
prevented.
e. They grow if each employee has a part in the safety effort and knows his part is
recognized.

C. Passenger Safety
1. Ensure the passengers safety:
a. Ensure stairways to gates are free from contamination, holdrooms and ramp with
anti-skid material and maintain handrails in good condition.
b. Keep these areas clear of snow and ice:
1) Doorways leading to and from terminals, gate check-in areas and holdrooms.
2) Walkways leading to and from aircraft stairs, especially the area where
passengers step off the aircraft stairs.
3) Access areas to ticket counters, baggage claim areas, air freight and any
other areas used by the public.
4) Access areas to Operations, baggage rooms, air freight and ground equipment.
5) Parking and working areas for aircraft and ground equipment.
c. Make sure all equipment is parked out of passenger walkways, ground cables,
etc.
d. Avoid spraying deicing fluid on passenger walkways.

D. Winter Watchouts
1. Assuming that temperatures are favorable, the following are situations when ice
forms on aircraft on the ground, and/or other precipitation causes the need to deice.
a. Freezing of any water which happens to be on the aircraft. This can affect the
operation of control linkages and hinges that would make operation of the aircraft
inadvisable before disposing of the ice.
b. Ice forming on exposed surfaces during taxi, takeoff or landing, as a result of
splashing water or mud which may be on the taxi way or runway. This can affect
any exposed part of the aircraft, including the landing gear, flaps, brakes, control
linkages and hinges, wings, tail surfaces, windshield, etc.
c. Glazing of the aircraft, if left out of the hanger during freezing precipitation.
d. Frost collecting on the upper surfaces of the aircraft when it is parked outside
overnight and the air is moist. Frost is very deceptive. It is usually quite thin and
appears as though it would not affect the lift and drag of the aircraft as much as
it does. It is a definite hazard during takeoff and ANY FROST IS TOO MUCH
FROST!
e. Snow collecting on the surface of the aircraft. Snow on any part of the aircraft
can freeze and cause loss of control of the aircraft.
f. Any form of visible moisture when the temperature is between 28oF and 34oF
can form ice quickly.

E. Gate Lead-In Lines


1. Winter weather often results in the gate lead-in lines being obscured by snow and/
or ice. It is important that flight crews see these ramp lines for proper line-up during
their approach to the gate. If the lines cannot be kept visible, ground personnel
must be positioned in such a way that the PIC will have him/her in sight at all times
and use standard hand signals to properly position the aircraft.
2. An aircraft that is improperly parked at the gate greatly increases the chance of
being involved in an accident.

1. Station Managers or their designee will coordinate initial and recurrent winterization
training annually at their station for all personnel that are assigned deicing of
aircraft. The annual training will be conducted by Station Trainers. The Station
Trainer must complete mandatory Train the Trainer Deicing/Anti-Icing Training prior
to any instruction of station personnel. Records will be maintained by the Station
Manager/Station Director or their designee, or the contract deicing vendor for this
training. A qualified deicing instructor from Chautauqua Airlines will train station
personnel according to the training requirements described in the Chautauqua
Airlines Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual unless the station/vendor participates in a
Deicing/Anti-Icing program approved for use on Chautauqua Airlines aircraft by the
FAA. The Chautauqua Airlines Training Form or the code share airlines training
form (if the station/vendor participates in a Deicing/Anti-Icing program approved for
use on Chautauqua Airlines aircraft by the FAA.) will be kept on file and maintained
by the Station Manager or their designee either electronically or in the station/
vendors training records (see Appendix- III).
2. The Station Manager or their designee is responsible for seeing that the Station
Winterization Trainers accomplish the training for their station.
a. The primary responsibilities of the Station Winterization Trainer will consist of the
following:
1) Train station personnel at their station who have not received current classroom and/or practical training.
2) Ensure that current year winterization procedures are followed by observations of deicing/anti-icing.
3) Ensure that deicing/anti-icing personnel conserve fluid by using proper spray
angles and nozzle settings.
3. Initial and recurrent deicing/anti-icing training will include a comprehensive learning
assessment. Training for Chautauqua Airlines, American/American Eagle,
Continental/Continental Express, Delta/Delta Connection and US Airways/US
Airways Express personnel includes a hands on review.
4. The initial and recurrent training will consist of: 14 CFR 121.629(c)(2)(iv)

Safety and Precautions
Section 1

Safety 14 CFR 121.135(a)(1)

A. Customer Safety
1. To enhance customer safety during Winter Operations, Customer Service
personnel are to ensure walkways are clear of ice and snow, are easily identified,
and are adequately lighted during evening hours.
2. Passenger exposure to weather should be limited by boarding aircraft according to
row numbers, giving clear directions to the proper aircraft during enplaning, or to the
terminal entrance upon deplaning, and, when possible, by parking aircraft in
positions which allow the most direct route from the aircraft to the terminal. Do not
rush the boarding or deplaning process.
3. Passengers are to be assisted with boarding and deplaning and reminded to walk
carefully, especially when snow, ice and/or deicing fluid is present on the ramp. The
bottom steps of the airstair doors should be kept clear of snow and slush. Extra care
and additional agents, if needed, should be utilized when lifting or carrying disabled
passengers.
4. Driving on snow or slush covered ramps is extremely hazardous. At no time should
a vehicle be driven such that, should the vehicle slide or loose braking
effectiveness, that either personnel or equipment are endangered of being struck
by the vehicle.

B. Personal Safety
1. Recommended protective personal gear for Ground Service Agents include nonslip, low heel shoes or boots, gloves, and a hat or cap to reduce heat loss. Usual
ramp hearing protection is mandatory, and rings or loose jewelry will not be worn
during Ramp Operations.
2. The most common cause of lost time accidents during winter operations is the result
of slipping and falling. Work areas need to be kept free of snow, ice and slush. An
approved snow and ice melting solution can be used in addition to mechanical
means of cleaning work areas. Inside buildings, melting snow and water on floors
should be mopped immediately.

3. If ground service equipment must be started in a closed area, such as a garage or


baggage room, limit the length of time the vehicle is running inside the building and
open the door due to the toxicity of the emitted carbon monoxide.
4. When ramp surfaces are snow packed, additional care is needed when lifting and
loading cargo or equipment. Obtain assistance, if necessary. Ramp personnel as
well as Passenger Service Agents must be cognizant of their balance, as well as
the balance point of the item being lifted or carried.
5. Winter Operations often include the use of small space heaters, which present
special hazards. Heaters must not be placed near wastebaskets, newspapers or
other combustibles. Flammable liquids, or clothing soaked in fuel, shall not be
stored or placed near heaters. Electrical loads must not overload outlets. Heaters
should not be left unattended, need to be unplugged at night, and should have a fire
extinguisher and smoke detector in the immediate vicinity.

C. Personal Safety Equipment


Personal protective equipment use is recommended during deicing operations in order
to comply with safety requirements.
1. Fall Restraining Devices
A fall restraining system and training in its use is required whenever employees are
required to be in buckets/towers above ground level. The components of a fall
restraining system and training program are:
a. Type I Fall Restraining Belt
b. Fall Restraining Lanyard (tie-off line)
c. Training Employees will be trained in the safe use of the system. Employees
should be trained in the proper positioning of the restraining belt on the body (at
waist level), the proper attachment of the hook to the de-icing bucket and
restraining belt, and to recognize defects and unacceptable wear in the belt and
the attachment.
2. Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection is essential in any atmosphere dangerous to employee
safety. Respirator use is recommended when propylene glycol is used and mandatory when ethylene glycol is used to deice aircraft.
3. Eye and Face Protection
Eye and face protection should be worn when dispensing anti- and/or deicing fluids.
4. Body Protection
Aircraft deicing is a cold weather operation often exposing employees to extreme
temperatures. Body, hand, and foot protection is required when applying deicing
fluid. Appropriate clothing must be worn and work practices must be monitored at
all times by local management to ensure employee safety and to prevent possible
injury.

Precautions

A. Deicing/Anti-Icing Fluid Precautions


1. All involved personnel must be aware of the potential health effect of deicing and
anti-icing fluids in order to assure that the proper precautions are taken during
deicing and anti-icing procedures.
2. All glycols cause some irritation upon contact with the eyes or the skin; however,
although the irritation is described as negligible, chemical manufacturers
recommend avoiding skin contact with deicing/anti-icing fluid and wearing
protective clothing when performing normal deicing operations. Avoid eye contact
with liquid glycol, or glycol in the vapor or mist state.
3. Ethylene glycol is moderately toxic to humans. Oral consumption of propylene
glycol is not considered toxic. Swallowing small amounts of ethylene or diethylene
glycol may cause abdominal discomfort and pain, dizziness, and effects the central
nervous system and kidneys. Because the glycol contained in deicing/anti-icing
fluids is considerably diluted with water and other additives, it is highly unlikely that
deicing personnel would ingest anything close to a lethal amount (3 to 4 ounces of
pure glycol).
4. Small spills on clothing should be flushed with large amounts of water.
5. Detailed information on health effects and proper safety precautions for any
commercial deicing/anti-icing fluid is contained in the material safety data sheet for
that fluid and will be kept on file or in a binder at the station where employees can
have direct access.

A. General Information
1. Chautauqua Airlines may use different types of fluids for deicing and anti-icing
aircraft. These fluids are designated as Type I, Type II, Type III or Type IV fluids.
These fluids have very different characteristics.
2. Type I, Type II, Type III or Type IV fluids may never be mixed together.
3. Type I, certain Type II, Type III and Type IV fluids (in proper concentration) are
approved for use on Chautauqua Airlines aircraft.
4. Type III fluid should be applied undiluted only.
5. Deicing fluid is a liquid generally applied heated and under pressure in order to
remove all deposits of frost, ice, or snow from aircraft surfaces.
6. Anti-icing is a liquid which is not required to be heated. This liquid is applied to
aircraft surfaces to prevent the formation or accumulation of frost, ice, and snow.
Anti-icing fluid effectiveness covers a limited period of time. Holdover tables are
used to gauge the effectiveness over a period of time.
7. Many factors influence the effectiveness and protection time provided by deicing
and anti-icing fluids. Some major factors are:
a. temperature of aircraft surfaces and outside air
b. fluid type, amount, strength, and application method
c. precipitation type and rate
d. wind velocity and direction

Volume 10

B. Type I Fluids (Primarily Deicing Fluids)


1. SAE Type I fluid has little holding properties to the surfaces of the aircraft.
Therefore, any stress applied to the fluid (such as wind, jet blast, heavy
precipitation) will cause the fluid to depart from the aircraft surfaces and reduces its
anti-icing properties. These Type I fluids are sometimes called Newtonian fluids.
2. Chautauqua Airlines and code chare partners may use either propylene or ethylene
glycol as Type I fluid. Glycol is a substance similar to antifreeze used in
automobiles. While both propylene and ethylene glycols are used in the same
manner, the testing, handling, and disposal procedures are different from each
other. For appropriate handling and disposal procedures, refer to the appropriate
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) located at the station.
3. Type I fluid is to be used diluted only with water. The Chautauqua Airlines
recommended mixture is 1:1 (50% Type I Fluid with 50% water). Certain vendor
mixtures may vary.

C. Type III Fluid (Deicing/Anti-icing Fluid)


1. Type III fluid is designed primarily for aircraft with low rotation/takeoff speeds, and
offers substantial improvements in anti-icing performance when compared to Type
I fluid. Also, it does not require specialized low shear application and transfer
equipment. This particular fluid was designed to be used in Type I storage tanks and
application equipment, either diluted or undiluted for deicing and undiluted (readymix) for anti-icing. Type III fluids can be applied heated or unheated for anti-icing.
Type III Fluid can also be called a Non-Newtonian fluid. Type III fluid may be used
at 100% full strength as deicing / anti-icing fluid.
2. Type III fluid flowing off aircraft surfaces during takeoff can make the runway
slippery, reducing aircraft braking action.

D. Type II and Type IV Fluids (Primarily Anti-icing Fluids)


1. SAE Type II and Type IV fluids have a greater resistance to forces or stress before
beginning to flow. Such resistance to stress allows Type II and Type IV fluids to
remain on aircraft surfaces for longer periods of time providing greater protection
against re-freezing or accumulation of frozen precipitation. Type II and Type IV
fluids can also be called Non-Newtonian fluids.
2. Type II and Type IV fluids may be used at 100% full strength as an anti-icing fluid,
or they may be diluted with water and heated either as a deicing or anti-icing fluid.
3. The stress or shear resistance of Type II and Type IV fluid is reduced when diluted
with water.
4. Fluid pumps, valves, piping, and spray nozzles must be compatible for use with
Type II or Type IV fluids or the performance characteristics of the fluids may be
degraded.
5. Excess, abrupt, or repeated heating of Type II or Type IV fluids can degrade the

performance characteristics of the fluid.


6. Type II and Type IV fluids work best for anti-icing when applied cold, full strength,
and at low pressure.
7. Type II and Type IV fluids flowing off aircraft surfaces during takeoff can make the
runway slippery, reducing aircraft braking action.

E. Testing Deicing Fluid Mixtures (Type I Fluid)

G. Deicing Fluid Tester (Refractometer) Type


1. The AO DUO-CHECK refractometer type coolant tester (Model 7084VP+ Orange
(920-2186)) is approved by Chautauqua Airlines for testing deicing fluid for freezepoint (FP). The tester has temperature scales for ethylene and propylene base
fluids. The model DOES NOT require calibration per the manufacturer.

FIGURE 1
2. This tester is designed specifically for rapid and accurate checking of permanent
anti-freeze protection and battery charge; however, it also works equally well for
testing ethylene glycol and propylene glycol type deicing fluids. Only a few drops
of fluid are required to take an accurate reading. The tester automatically corrects
for fluid temperature.
3. To figure the % of GLYCOL/WATER RATIO, with this type tester do the following:
a. Before each use, swing back the plastic cover at the slanted end of the tester
exposing both the measuring window and the bottom of the plastic cover. Wipe
both clean and dry with tissue or clean soft cloth. Close the plastic cover flat
against the measuring window (see FIGURE 2).
b. With plastic cover flat against the measuring window, place a few drops of
deicing fluid so that it runs down between the plastic cover and the measuring
window. This can be accomplished by either using the CLEAN PLASTIC ANTIFREEZE PUMP that is attached to the refractometer or by drawing a sample
from tank.
c. Point the tester toward any light source (headlight) and look into the eyepiece
(see FIGURE 4).

J. Special Considerations for Deicing/Anti-icing Fluids


1. The performance characteristics of SAE Type II/IV deicing/anti-icing fluids may be
degraded by excessive mechanical shearing or chemical contamination. Therefore,
only compatible pumps, control valves, piping and application devices shall be
used. The design of fluid transfer systems shall be in accordance with the fluid
manufacturers recommendations.
2. Heating - SAE Type II/IV deicing/anti-icing fluids, if heated, shall be heated in a
manner to preclude fluid degradation in storage or application. The integrity of the
fluid following heating shall be checked periodically. Factors like heating rate and
heating time cycles should be considered in determining frequency of fluid
inspections. Refer to fluid manufacturers recommendations.

Conditions

A. Icing Conditions 14 CFR 121.629(c)(1)(i)


Frozen moisture, in many different forms and atmospheric conditions, can adhere to
aircraft surfaces. All personnel involved in deicing operations must be knowledgeable
about these various forms and the conditions under which they are likely to develop.
Be especially aware of the following considerations:
1. Inflight Ice Accumulation Arriving aircraft may have ice adhering to the aircraft
due to recent flight through icing conditions. It is the responsibility of the arriving
crews to notify the local station if they suspect accumulated aircraft ice.
2. Frozen Precipitation Snow, sleet, or hail which adheres to aircraft surfaces.
3. Frost Frozen water vapor on surfaces which are at or below 0oC (32oF).
4. Freezing Fog Clouds of supercooled water droplets that form a deposit of ice on
objects in cold weather conditions.
5. Snow Precipitation in the form of small ice crystals or flakes which may
accumulate on aircraft surfaces.
6. Freezing Rain/Drizzle Rain/drizzle falling in temperatures at or below freezing
forming on contact with an object.
7. Rain or High Humidity Water forming ice or frost on the wing surface when the
temperature of the aircraft wing is at or below 0oC (32oF).

B. Determination of Ground Icing Conditions


14 CFR 121.629(c)(1)(i), 121.629(c)(1)(ii), 121.629(c)(1)(iii)
1. The Winter Operations Coordinator or their delegate, will monitor the outside air
temperature and precipitation conditions.
2. The Winter Operations Coordinator or their delegate is responsible to determine
and implement ground deicing/anti-icing operational procedures.
3. Any condition that results in frost, ice, or snow adhering to the aircraft requires the
implementation of the deicing/anti-icing program. Some basic guidelines:
a. any time freezing rain or freezing drizzle is falling
b. when freezing fog is present

Note: When operating during light freezing rain/drizzle using Type I fluid,
the ground crew completing the deicing process will perform an
external pre-takeoff contamination check.
4. In the event of a disagreement between the flight crew and the Winter Operations
Coordinator or their delegate as to the conditions, the more conservative opinion will
apply.
5. Once deicing/anti-icing conditions have been declared, all departing aircraft will be
deiced/anti-iced, or properly inspected following the procedures outlined in this
manual.
6. The deicing/anti-icing program will continue until the Winter Operations Coordinator
or their delegate, has determined the conditions no longer exist.
7. Deicing/Anti-icing is not required if snow is falling but not adhering to the aircraft.
This is typical when the OAT and the aircraft are cold. In fact, putting fluid on when
snow is falling and nothing is adhering is less safe. Without the fluid, there is no
holdover time limit. With the fluid, there is a limited holdover time. This is because
the added fluid will now cause the snow to be absorbed on the aircraft. At some
point the fluid will become contaminated and adhere to the aircraft. When you
cannot determine if contamination is adhering, ask the deicing crew for a
Contamination Inspection.

CAUTION:

Icing conditions may exist when the OAT on the ground and for
takeoff is 10C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways, or
runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush maybe
ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine
sensor probes.

c. Flight Control, by transmitting a revised field condition report, followed by a telephone call
d. Local ATC facility (if required)
e. Airport manager
f. All immediately affected flight crews

C. Determination of Ground Icing Conditions at Delta/Delta


Connection Stations 14 CFR 121.629(c)(ii)
The local Station Manager is ultimately responsible for the de-icing operation at his/her
station, including all contract de-icing.
At the local station, when conditions conducive to ground icing occur, the Station Manager is responsible for ensuring that the ground de-icing/anti-icing program is implemented according to this document.
The Station Manager may delegate this responsibility to another person who must be
trained to the same level as the de-icing crew. This person must know that he or she
is responsible for de-icing. Other personnel at the local station must also know that the
person designated by the Station Manager holds this responsibility.

CAUTION:

Section 2

Icing conditions may exist when the OAT on the ground and for
takeoff is 10C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways, or
runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush maybe
ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine
sensor probes.

Deicing/Anti-Icing Procedures

A. General 14 CFR 121.135(a)(1), 121.629(c)(2)(i)


1. Deicing and anti-icing can be accomplished in either a 1-step or 2-step process. A
1-step process involves deicing the aircraft with a deicing or an anti-icing fluid. The
2-step process involves deicing the aircraft as step 1, immediately followed by an
application of an anti-icing fluid as step 2.
a. Deicing/Anti-Icing at Delta and Delta Connection operations can be performed at
the same time. The aircraft should be divided into sections and each section is
deiced (step one) then immediately anti-iced (step two). If using this procedure
see CAUTION below and reference the Delta and Delta Connection suggested
spray sequence in Section 2 D. 5.

Chapter 4 Procedures and Specifics
Section 2 Deicing/Anti-Icing Procedures
Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual Volume 10
CAUTION: Holdover Time starts at the beginning of the application of Type IV
on the first section.
Awareness of wind direction is critical.
Monitor to ensure there is no overspray on an area that is already
protected with Type IV when spraying Type I to remove contamination
from the next section.
If overspray or contamination occurs in an area previously protected
with Type IV, the contaminated section must be deiced/anti-iced
again.
2. Anti-icing is only required when the possibility exists of aircraft surfaces re-freezing,
or when frozen precipitation is falling.
3. Efficiency considerations will occasionally dictate a combination of ice removal
methods. Heavy accumulations of snow may be more effectively removed using
brooms, followed by a final cleaning with heated deicing fluid.
4. Aircraft deicing fluids are very soluble in water. However, the rate at which ice will
absorb deicing fluid is very slow. If frost, ice, or snow is adhering to the wing
surface, that ice formation may be melted by repeated applications of aircraft
deicing fluid.
5. Deicing units should be checked prior to each operation to ensure an adequate
quantity to complete the deicing/anti-icing procedures.
6. When a self-heating deicing unit is available, the deicing fluid should be heated to
a temperature of approximately 140oF minimum at the nozzle (but not to exceed
200o F) and sprayed onto critical aircraft surfaces. Check the fluids temperature
prior to deicing. This is recorded and tracked on the Daily Deicing Log. If the
heating unit is a flame-type heater, it must not be running while deicing is in
progress. If the heating unit is electrical, verify that all electrical cords are
unplugged before moving the unit.
7. Brooming to brush snow accumulation off the aircraft prior to deicing the aircraft.
a. Use only a soft bristle broom.

Note: The broom used for snow removal is not to be used for any other
purpose.
b. Do not stand on the aircraft. Sweep off only what can be reached safely considering weather conditions at the time.
c. Sweep from the leading edge to the trailing edge in the direction of airflow.
d. Sweep off fuselage accumulations when possible.
e. Use extreme caution not to damage vortex generators, static wicks, antennas,
pitot tubes, etc., when brooming.

CAUTION:

Never strike an aircraft to remove ice accumulation.

B. Spraying Deicing/Anti-icing Fluid


1. Spray the critical aircraft surfaces with enough fluid to wet the entire area(s) down,
then let the snow, ice, or frost melt.

Note: Do not try to blast or wash all the snow, ice, or frost off the wings
and tail surfaces during the first spraying.
2. It may be necessary to spray aircraft surfaces a second time to ensure they are
completely free of snow, ice, or frost.
3. The removal of thick frozen snow or glazed ice is best accomplished by spraying
hot deicing fluid in one spot until bare metal is exposed. The heat of the fluid will
then lift the snow or ice from the aircraft surfaces without requiring melting, thus
saving deicing fluid.
4. If frozen precipitation is falling or there is a chance of aircraft surfaces re-freezing,
anti-icing should be completed as step 2 immediately following deicing. Complete
anti-icing as close to departure time as possible in order to achieve maximum
holdover time. The anti-icing fluid should be applied equally to both sides of the
aircraft. The correct amount of fluid required will be visually indicated by the fluid
just beginning to drip off the leading and trailing edges. Surfaces to be anti-iced are:
a. wing upper surfaces
b. vertical stabilizer and rudder
c. horizontal stabilizer and elevator upper surfaces
5. When spraying the critical surfaces, the direction of the spray should be kept flowing
from the leading edge to the trailing edge. However, in order to ensure the hinged
areas of the tail and wings are completely free of ice, snow, and frost, it may be
necessary to direct the spray from the trailing edge toward the leading edge.

CAUTION:

Do not spray fluid into intake or exhaust areas of engine nacelles,


pitot tubes, static vents, aircraft ducts, APU ducts, or any other
openings. Avoid direct spray fluid onto the cockpit windows. Avoid
direct spray onto the passenger doors, service doors, and cargo
doors. Fluid sprayed directly on the doors may leak and drip on
customers and baggage and should be avoided.

6. Deicing fluid should be sprayed onto the aircraft surfaces in the same direction in
which the wind is blowing. If possible, the aircraft should be faced into the prevailing
wind.

7. When aircraft have been or will be taxied on wet or slushy taxiways, remove any
accumulation of ice and/or slush from the landing gear components. Use wheel
chocks to secure the aircraft and allow the glycol to cascade over wheels and
brakes to remove ice and slush.

CAUTION:

Avoid Direct Spray to brakes and exposed portions of the strut


pistons. DO NOT SPRAY HOT BRAKES.

8. Use as much fluid as is needed for each deicing/anti-icing operation, keeping in


mind that the critical surfaces must be completely free of snow, ice, and frost.

C. Tower/Bucket Unit 14 CFR 121.135(a)(1)


1. When a tower or bucket unit is used, a minimum of two agents will be necessary.
One agent will drive the unit or tug, the second will be on top of the tower or in the
bucket spraying. A third agent, if available, can assist in guiding the unit and
relaying messages between the driver and agent spraying.
2. When an agent is in the bucket or on top of the tower, a fall-restraining-belt and a
fall-restraining-lanyard must be worn. The deicing unit should not be moving when
anyone is climbing or standing on the ladder.
3. A 10 foot clearance should be maintained at all times between the aircraft and the
unit. A minimum of 5 feet should be allowed between the bucket and the aircraft.
4. The speed of the tug or truck should not exceed 5 mph.
5. Delta/ Delta Connection Difference at Delta/Delta Connection Station:
4 X 4 X 5 Rule
The truck speed should never exceed 4 miles per hour.
The distance of the basket/enclosed cab should remain 4 feet away from the
aircraft.
The distance from the nozzle should be no more than 5 feet away from the
surface of the aircraft.

D. Deicing/Anti-Icing Preparation and Driving Sequences


14 CFR 121.135(a)(1), 121.629(c)(2)(ii)
1. Wings, tail section, all control surfaces, and flaps must be clear of snow, frost, and
ice before releasing the aircraft for takeoff.

Note: Upon acceptance by the pilot-in-command, loose dry snow, or


frost under the wings may be permitted.
2. Deicing should be performed as close as possible to takeoff time in order not to
exceed the holdover time.
3. Preparation:
a. Install wheel chocks, as required
b. Make certain that all windows, doors, and emergency exits are closed
c. Remove accumulated snow and ice from the landing gear, when necessary

4. Deicing Spray Sequence (single truck)


The deicing spray sequence will begin forward of the tail section at the tip of the left
outboard wing and work clockwise around the aircraft. The starting outboard wing
and work direction may be changed to accommodate the carriers preferences, or if
obstructions preclude this, the deicer will ensure ALL critical areas in the sequence
are deiced. The last section of the aircraft to be deiced should be the tail
section. The sequence listed below is for representative purposes. It is obvious that
all aircraft are not configured alike and general adherence to these items is
intended. See Chapter 6 for Aircraft Specific Diagrams.

Note: The single truck deicing sequence may sometimes begin at the
nose of the aircraft (aircraft left) this is usually due to an
obstruction such as a jetway which would prevent the deicing
equipment from moving a full circle around the aircraft.
Note: The flight crew must be notified for any deviation of sequence
during deicing/anti-icing.

5. Delta and Delta Connection Suggested Deicing Spray Sequence (single truck)
Divide the aircraft into four work areas. Separate work areas as follows:
Forward left fuselage and left wing.
Forward right fuselage and right wing.
Aft right fuselage and tail.
Aft left fuselage and tail.
Apply the Type I fluid solution to the aircraft in the following suggested sequence:
Wings (upper surfaces) - Start at the leading edge of the wing tip and work back
toward the trailing edge and toward the wing root.
Fuselage (upper surfaces) - Start at the top of the fuselage and work downward
to wing level.
Stabilizers - Ensure that the last section of the aircraft that is deiced is the tail
section. Start at the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer and work toward the
trailing edge, then the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer and work toward
the trailing edge. Thoroughly deice the elevator from leading edge to trailing
edge top and bottom, elevator attachment points must be thoroughly deiced.
Ensure that the top of the horizontal stabilizer and rudder are thoroughly deiced.

Note: Lower Surfaces - Apply the solution to the bottom surfaces of


fuselage, wings, horizontal stabilizer, landing gear doors, and
landing gear as necessary.Keep application of de-icing fluid to the
landing gear and landing gear doors to a minimum.
CAUTION:

Avoid Direct Spray to brakes and exposed portions of the strut


pistons. DO NOT SPRAY HOT BRAKES

Check the aircraft surface and spray additional heated Type I fluid solution, as
required, to completely remove all frozen accumulations.
6. Deicing Spray Sequence (two trucks or Carwash)
The deicing spray sequence will begin at the nose of the aircraft, with a truck on
each side working around a wing, meeting at the tail section to finish. The last
section of the aircraft to be deiced should be the tail section. The deicer will
ensure ALL critical areas in the sequence are deiced. The sequence listed below is
for representative purposes. It is obvious that all aircraft are not configured alike and
general adherence to these items is intended. See Chapter 6 for Aircraft Specific
Diagram.

10. Engine Inlet and Exhaust Areas
a. Engine inlet and exhaust areas must be free of snow, ice, or slush prior to engine
start.
b. If there is an accumulation of snow, ice, or slush on engine inlets and exhaust
areas the flight crew will contact operations for deicing.

Page- 1 of 4

Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual
Volume 10

BULLETIN- DI07-05
c. Frozen contamination may be removed by spraying above these areas and
letting the fluid cascade down or by using a light mist of fluid around the area until
free from contamination.

CAUTION:Do not spray deicing fluid directly into the engine inlets or
exhausts.
d. If the accumulation of snow, ice, or slush is heavy, it may be necessary to
remove most of the frozen contamination from the engine inlet and exhaust
areas by hand (with the engines shut down) allowing an indirect flow of deicing
fluid to remove the remaining frozen contamination.

CAUTION: Do not approach an engine inlet or exhaust area when an


engine is operating.

CAUTION: DIRECT SPRAY ON WINDOW AREAS MAY CAUSE WINDOWS TO
LEAK.
Note: Aircraft with operable APU equipment will normally be deiced/antiiced with engines shut down. However, anytime the aircraft does
not have an operable APU and is remotely deiced, OR, when the
flight may otherwise be unable to take-off due to holdover times
limitations, OR, during car wash operations at hub cities, deicing/
anti-icing may be conducted with the engines operating at idle.
The flight crew and ground crew will make the determination that
the engines will or will not be operated during deicing/anti-icing.
After repositioning to the Deicing Pad, the engines are shutdown
or idled as appropriate to the situation. If deicing/anti-icing is to be
accomplished with the engines running, aircraft in required POH
configuration, the parking brake set, and radio communications
established with the flight crew. In either case, the flight crew will
signal the deice crew that the parking brakes have been set.
CAUTION:

Prior to approaching the aircraft, check the operation of the lift


device and ensure that emergency signals have been established
between the driver and the lift operator, to be used in case of
danger or equipment malfunction.

Note: At American (Eagle) cities AA/AE personnel will not routinely


deice/anti-ice with the engines operating. Aircraft engines must be
shut down prior to deicing/anti-icing. In this situation the station
will provide a GPU to provide power to the aircraft. The only
exception allowed for operating aircraft engines during the deice/
anti-ice at American (Eagle) cities is in non-routine situations, and
both the flight crew and the ground crew will make the
determination and must be in agreement that the engines should
be operating.

E. Remote Deicing Procedures


Deicing procedures may be accomplished at a remote site called a Deice Pad or Car
Wash. The objectives of this arrangement are to:
Provide aircraft electrical power to non-APU equipped aircraft during deicing/antiicing at remote (off gate) locations.
Minimize aircraft exposure to ground icing conditions when the aircraft otherwise
may not be able to takeoff within holdover time.
Expedite fleet deicing operations at hub cities.
The flight crew and ground crew will make the determination that the engines will or will
not be operated during deicing/anti-icing.

F. Communications to Flight Crew 14 CFR 121.629(c)(2)(iii)


The individual who performs the deicing/anti-icing procedure and certifies the aircraft
is clean and ready for departure, or the supervisor of the ground deicing activity, will
provide the information indicated in Chapter 1, Section 1, Item B.

G. Aircraft Inspections 14 CFR 121.135(b)(2), 121.629(c)(2)(ii),


121.629(c)(2)(iv), 121.629(c)(2)(vii)
1. Importance of Inspection
When disruption of airflow occurs over the wing and horizontal tail surfaces, lift is
reduced which can result in the aircraft becoming unstable when attempting flight,
or preventing the aircraft from flying at all. Even a small amount of substance buildup on aircraft surfaces can adversely affect aircraft stability. Wind tunnel flight tests
indicate that formation of snow, ice, or frost on the leading edge or the upper
surfaces of a wing which has a thickness and surface roughness similar to medium
or coarse sandpaper can reduce wing lift by as much as 30% and increase drag by
40%. The significant changes in lift and drag will increase stall speed, reduce
controllability, and alter flight characteristics. It is imperative that an aircraft not be
released for takeoff unless all critical components of the aircraft are free from
adhering snow, frost, or other ice formations.
2. Post Deice Check
All critical surfaces of the aircraft must be visually inspected before an aircraft is
released for departure during icing conditions or when deicing/anti-icing has been
completed. The inspection is to be performed by the ground crew from an elevated
piece of equipment offering sufficient visibility of these critical surfaces. The
aircrafts critical surfaces must meet the Clean Aircraft Concept before being
cleared to depart. Critical surfaces to inspect include:
a. wings, tail and control surfaces
b. pitot heads, static ports, and angle of attack sensors
c. engine inlets
d. air conditioning inlets, exhausts
e. landing gear and landing gear doors
f. fuel tank vents
g. fuselage
h. a flight control check at the discretion of the flight crew
(A functional check of ailerons, elevators, rudder, and flaps accomplished
by the flight crew and may be necessary if the aircraft has been subjected
to extreme ice or snow covering.)

CAUTION:

Be aware that clear ice can form on critical surfaces when the
aircraft is exposed to some icing conditions and/or when the
ambient temperature is 10C or below.

3. Tactile Check / Inspection


a. A tactile check must be accomplished during the post deice check on Embraer
135/140/145 and Canadair CRJ200 aircraft.
b. This check is accomplished after deicing has been completed and if anti-icing is
necessary, before anti-icing begins.
c. A tactile check must be accomplished from outside of the aircraft by qualified
ground personnel.
d. This is performed by physically touching the wing leading edge and an arm's
length section of the upper wing surface to ensure surfaces are free of frost, ice
and snow.
Use a gloved hand on the surfaces across the wing leading edge, wing
forward upper surface and wing rear upper surface to determine that the wing
is free from frost, ice, snow or slush.
When performing a tactile check, you should be able to feel wing seams
where two pieces of metal are joined or screw/rivet heads. If you cannot feel
the differences in these surfaces, this is an indication that ice may be present
and additional deicing is required.

Note: It is recommended that a thin protective glove (i.e. latex, rubber or


vinyl) is worn to complete tactile checks.
CAUTION:

When performing a tactile inspection of the wings rear upper


surface, the inspecting agent should not touch the area between
the extended flaps or aileron and the wing surface

CAUTION:

The tactile inspection should be of the center area, not around the
edges of the flaps or ailerons. These areas are extremely
dangerous and only require a visual inspection.

CAUTION:

During inspection of the wings rear upper surface it is important


that the inspecting agent stay clear of the engine intake danger
area.

4. Post Anti-ice Check


If the aircraft has been treated with anti-icing fluid, critical surfaces should appear
glossy, smooth, and wet.
The post anti-ice check must ensure that the application of the anti-icing material
has been applied uniformly.
There should be no accumulations of ice, snow, or frost on critical surfaces of the
aircraft.
Reference Chapter 6 - For aircraft specifics and detail on critical surfaces.
If these inspections indicate that the anti-icing has not been applied uniformly or if
accumulations of ice, snow, or frost are on the aircraft, the aircraft shall return for
additional deicing and, where appropriate, additional anti-icing.

5. Pre-Takeoff Contamination Check 14 CFR 121.629(c)(4)


In the event that the holdover time has been exceeded after deicing/anti-icing, or if
freezing precipitation is falling and the aircraft has not been deiced or anti-iced, a
pre-takeoff contamination check is required to be completed within 5 minutes of the
aircraft being cleared onto the runway for takeoff.
This inspection, when performed by ground personnel, will be completed from an
elevated vantage point permitting a clear view of the top of all horizontal aircraft
surfaces, and must be completed prior to the release of the aircraft, or giving the
Thumbs Up signal to the captain.
Aircraft horizontal and vertical flight and control surfaces must meet the Clean
Aircraft Concept for the aircraft to be release for flight.
If the aircraft has been treated with anti-icing fluid, critical surfaces should appear
glossy, smooth, and wet. If these inspections indicate accumulations of ice, snow,
or frost, the aircraft shall be returned for additional deicing and, where appropriate,
additional anti-icing.
6. Pre-Takeoff Check 14 CFR 121.629(c)(3)(i), 121.629(c)(3)(ii), 121.629(c)(4)
A pre-takeoff check is a required check that is accomplished by the flight crew any
time the aircraft has been deiced/anti-iced and a holdover time has been established. The Flight crew procedures for this may be found in the Pilots Operating
Handbook and the General Operations Manual.

H. RON Aircraft
1. Deice upon reporting
2. Station Call
3. It is acceptable to treat RON aircraft with Type II or Type IV due to impending storm
or if frozen precipitation is forecast.

Application Guidelines
a) Embraer (135/140/145 Apply on wings and tail only.
(for more detail see illustrations in Chapter 6)
b) Canadair (CRJ200) Apply on wings and tail only.
(for more detail see illustrations in Chapter 6)
The flight crew on the departing flight MUST be informed by station personnel if antiicing fluid has been applied to their aircraft during an overnight or extended ground
stay. It is required that station personnel verbally notify the flight crew if the aircraft has
been treated with Type II/ Type IV the night before. This is determined by station personnel by checking the Post Deicing/Anti-Icing Report completed the night before.

CAUTION:

I.

The person accomplishing the Anti-Icing for an RON or the Ground


Deicing Supervisor MUST ensure that this has been logged on the
ground deicing record.

First flight of the day


1. When an aircraft has been parked outside overnight and heavy frost, snow, or ice
is present on the critical surfaces, and there is no falling precipitation, deicing should
be done automatically by the opening ground personnel as soon as possible.
2. If snow or freezing rain is falling, deicing and anti-icing should be accomplished as
close to departure time as possible.
3. It is required that station personnel verbally notify the flight crew if the aircraft
has been treated with Type II/ Type IV the night before. Station personnel can
determine this by checking the Post Deicing/Anti-Icing Report completed the
night before.
4. If an aircraft is treated with Type II/Type IV over night it must be deiced the
next morning with heated Type I regardless of precipitation during the night.

CAUTION:

Type II or Type IV must be completely cleaned off with heated Type


I or Type III before dispatching the aircraft. Failure to remove
residual Type II or Type IV from an overnight or extended stay
aircraft, with heated Type I prior to departure, can result in fluid dryout. Fluid dry-out is a condition causing restricted movement of
flight control surfaces in flight.

J. Through or Turn-Around Aircraft


1. The pilot-in-command, if available, should be advised before beginning deicing the
aircraft.
2. The pilot-in-command may request the aircraft be sprayed with deicing/anti-icing
fluid if the temperature is at or below the freezing point and the aircraft will be
subjected to rain between the ramp departure and takeoff.
3. Deicing/anti-icing is to be completed anytime it is requested by the pilot-incommand.

K. Holdover Times 14 CFR 121.629(c)(2)(i), 121.629(c)(3),


121.629(c)(3)(i), 121.629(c)(3)(iii)
1. Holdover time is defined as the estimated time the application of deicing or anti-icing
fluid will prevent the formation of frost or ice, and the accumulation of snow on the
treated surfaces of the aircraft.
2. Many factors influence the effectiveness and protection time provided by anti-icing
fluids. Some of the major factors are:
a. temperature of aircraft surfaces and outside air
b. fluid type, amount, strength, and application method
c. precipitation type and rate
d. wind velocity and direction
3. Holdover time begins when the final application of the deicing/anti-icing fluid
commences and expires when the deicing/anti-icing fluid loses its effectiveness.
4. Holdover times are calculated by the flight crew using the holdover tables located
in the General Operations Manual. Flight crew members obtain the training for the
calculation and the specific requirements of the deicing/anti-icing program through
initial and recurrent training and testing.
5. When the holdover time has expired, or when it has been determined through
inspection that the deicing/anti-icing fluid has lost its effectiveness, the wings,
control surfaces, and other critical surfaces must be deiced again. When that occurs
a new holdover time is determined.

CAUTION:

Ice formation may be difficult to detect during conditions of freezing


drizzle and light freezing rain. Strict adherence to Pre-Takeoff Check
and Pre-Takeoff Contamination Check procedures in these
conditions is especially important at night and limited visibility
conditions. If any doubt exists concerning the aircrafts condition
after completing either check, the aircraft cannot take off unless it is
deiced again or it is determined that the aircraft is free of
contamination.

BULLETIN- DI07-06
M. Infrared Deicing Procedures
1. Description
a. Infrared Radiant Heat
Infrared (IR) radiant heat deicing involves using gas fired infrared radiant heating
units installed in the ceiling of a facility similar to a hanger that can transmit
sufficient infrared energy to melt frozen contamination from aircraft surfaces. The
aircraft skin temperature during the infrared deicing process never exceeds
120F.
b. Use
The use of infrared radiant heat is considered an alternate method for deicing
only; no anti-icing benefit is derived when using infrared radiant heat.
c. Approved Facilities
Due to procedures and training requirements IR deicing is only approved at the
following locations:
New York John F Kennedy (JFK) facility - United/United Express Operations
2. Procedure
a. The flight crew must configure the aircraft for deicing before entering the IR
facility.
b. Aircraft will be taxied to the entrance of the IR facility and will be marshalled into
the facility by a guideman or through radio instructions from the IR Control
Center. The facility operator is located in the control booth inside the facility and
communicates to the flight crew on a dedicated frequency. The frequency can be
found in the Jeppesen Station Information Pages.
c. When the aircraft enters the facility the flight crew will position the aircraft as
instructed by the facility operator. Constant radio communications shall be maintained between the IR Control Center and the flight crew.
d. Flight crews will follow the instructions provided by the IR Control Center
throughout the process.
e. Deicing operations are normally performed while the aircraft engines are operating at low idle.
f. The deicing process will continue until all frozen contamination has been
removed from aircraft surfaces, as confirmed by certified personnel.
g. Certified personnel will perform a complete inspection of the aircraft including the
tactile check after the Infrared (IR) radiant heat deicing. The certified personnel
will notify the captain that the process is complete or that additional de-icing is
required. The process will be repeated if necessary.

Page- 2 of 4

Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual
Volume 10

BULLETIN- DI07-06
If certified personnel performing the inspection determine that there are
aircraft surfaces that have remained wet after the removal of the infrared
energy source those surfaces will require an application of heated deicing
fluid to prevent refreezing when the O.A.T. is 0 degrees Celsius or colder.
h. When the IR deicing process is completed, the aircraft may be anti-iced using
anti-icing fluid at that location or taxied from the IR facility to another area per the
instructions of the IR Control Center.

WARNING: If an application of anti-icing fluid is required, it must be


applied before any snow or freezing precipitation can
adhere to the aircraft surfaces.
3. Deicing and Anti-Icing Methods
In accordance with SAE/AEA infrared deicing recommendations as follows:
a. Frost or Leading Edge Ice only
Infrared deicing only
b. Snow/Ice with O.A.T greater than 0 degrees Celsius
Infrared deicing only
c. Snow/Ice with O.A.T 0 degrees Celsius or colder
Infrared deicing followed by hot deicing fluid on wings and horizontal
stabilizers
d. Type IV anti-icing fluid will be applied inside the system as necessary according
to ambient conditions
4.

Aircraft Manufacturers Guidance


Only the INFRATEK INFRARED DEICING method is approved.
Aircraft skin temperature is limited to 120 Fahrenheit.
An aircraft that has been anti-iced cannot be deiced again using the Infrared Deicing
Process when holdover time has expired. The aircraft must be deiced with Type I/
III fluid using the standard deicing procedures described in the Chautauqua Airlines
Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual (or a Deicing/Anti-Icing Program that has been approved
by the FAA for use on Chautauqua Airlines aircraft).

L. Hot Water Use at Tropical Stations


1. It is acceptable to use hot water when the outside air temperature is 40 degrees F
or above and remains 40 degrees F or above at tropical stations located between
28 degrees North and 28 degrees South Latitude, frost or wing ice may be removed
from an aircraft through normal deicing techniques, using hot water (without
glycol) at a temperature of 180o F not to exceed 200o F.
2. Heated Type I deicing fluid mixture must be used if the outside air temperature is
below 40o F at the time of deicing or falls below 40o F between the time of deicing
and takeoff, the aircraft MUST be deiced with a 140o F not to exceed 200o F heated
Type I fluid mixture before takeoff using the steps outlined in this manual. Cities
included in this geographical zone are TPA, RSW, SRQ, APF, EYW, MTH, MIA,
FLL, PBI, CRP, LRD, MFE, and HRL.

Section 3
Storage, Records, and Compliance
A. Fluid Storage and Handling
1. Deicing/anti-icing fluid is a chemical product with environmental impact. During fluid
handling, avoid any unnecessary spillage, comply with local environmental and
health laws, and manufacturers material safety data sheet (MSDS). Mixing of
different deicing fluid types is not recommended.
2. A slippery condition 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.
3. Tanks are dedicated for the storage of deicing/anti-icing fluids to avoid
contamination with other fluids. Storage tanks shall be constructed of materials
compatible with deicing/anti-icing fluids, as specified by the manufacturer.
4. Tanks shall be inspected annually for corrosion and/or contamination.
5. To minimize corrosion in the vapor space, a high liquid level in the tanks is
recommended.
6. The deicing/anti-icing fluid will be checked routinely to ensure that no degradation/
contamination has occurred.

C. Deicing/Anti-Icing Procedures
14 CFR 121.135(a)(1), 121.629(c)(2)(i)
1. General
Ensure that all windows, doors, and emergency exits are closed before beginning to
deice. The wings, tail section, all control surfaces, engines and flaps shall be clear of
snow, frost, and ice before releasing the aircraft for takeoff.
a. Deicing and anti-icing can be accomplished in either a 1-step or 2-step process.
A 1-step process involves deicing the aircraft with a deicing or an anti-icing fluid.
The 2-step process involves deicing the aircraft as step 1, immediately followed
by an application of an anti-icing fluid as step 2.
1) Deicing/Anti-Icing at Delta and Delta Connection operations can be
performed at the same time. The aircraft should be divided into sections and
each section is deiced (step one) then immediately anti-iced (step two). If
using this procedure see CAUTION below and reference the Delta and Delta
Connection suggested spray sequence in Section 2 D. 5.

Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual Volume 10
CAUTION: Holdover Time starts at the beginning of the application of Type IV
on the first section.
Awareness of wind direction is critical.
Monitor to ensure there is no overspray on an area that is already
protected with Type IV when spraying Type I to remove contamination
from the next section.
If overspray or contamination occurs in an area previously protected
with Type IV, the contaminated section must be deiced/anti-iced
again.
2) Anti-icing is only required when the possibility exists of aircraft surfaces refreezing, or when frozen precipitation is falling.
3) Efficiency considerations will occasionally dictate a combination of ice
removal methods. Heavy accumulations of snow may be more effectively
removed using brooms, followed by a final cleaning with heated deicing fluid.
4) Aircraft deicing fluids are very soluble in water. However, the rate at which ice
will absorb deicing fluid is very slow. If frost, ice, or snow is adhering to the
wing surface, that ice formation may be melted by repeated applications of
aircraft deicing fluid.
5) Deicing units should be checked prior to each operation to ensure an
adequate quantity to complete the deicing/anti-icing procedures.
6) When a self-heating deicing unit is available, the deicing fluid should be
heated to a temperature of approximately 140oF minimum at the nozzle (but
not to exceed 200o F) and sprayed onto critical aircraft surfaces. Check the
fluids temperature prior to deicing. This is recorded and tracked on the Daily
Deicing Log. If the heating unit is a flame-type heater, it must not be running
while deicing is in progress. If the heating unit is electrical, verify that all electrical cords are unplugged before moving the unit.
7) Brooming to brush snow accumulation off the aircraft prior to deicing the
aircraft.
a) Use only a soft bristle broom.

Note: The broom used for snow removal is not to be used for any other
purpose.
b) Do not stand on the aircraft. Sweep off only what can be reached safely
considering weather conditions at the time.
c) Sweep from the leading edge to the trailing edge in the direction of airflow.
d) Sweep off fuselage accumulations when possible.
e) Use extreme caution not to damage vortex generators, static wicks,
antennas, pitot tubes, etc., when brooming.

CAUTION:

Never strike an aircraft to remove ice accumulation.

2. Spraying Deicing/Anti-icing Fluid


a. Spray the critical aircraft surfaces with enough fluid to wet the entire area(s)
down, then let the snow, ice, or frost melt.

Note: Do not try to blast or wash all the snow, ice, or frost off the wings
and tail surfaces during the first spraying.
b. It may be necessary to spray aircraft surfaces a second time to ensure they are
completely free of snow, ice, or frost.
c. The removal of thick frozen snow or glazed ice is best accomplished by spraying
hot deicing fluid in one spot until bare metal is exposed. The heat of the fluid will
then lift the snow or ice from the aircraft surfaces without requiring melting, thus
saving deicing fluid.
d. If frozen precipitation is falling or there is a chance of aircraft surfaces refreezing, anti-icing should be completed as step 2 immediately following deicing.
Complete anti-icing as close to departure time as possible in order to achieve
maximum holdover time. The anti-icing fluid should be applied equally to both
sides of the aircraft. The correct amount of fluid required will be visually indicated
by the fluid just beginning to drip off the leading and trailing edges. Surfaces to
be anti-iced are:
1) wing upper surfaces
2) vertical stabilizer and rudder
3) horizontal stabilizer and elevator upper surfaces
e. When spraying the critical surfaces, the direction of the spray should be kept
flowing from the leading edge to the trailing edge. However, in order to ensure
the hinged areas of the tail and wings are completely free of ice, snow, and frost,
it may be necessary to direct the spray from the trailing edge toward the leading
edge.

CAUTION:

Do not spray fluid into intake or exhaust areas of engine nacelles,


pitot tubes, static vents, aircraft ducts, APU ducts, or any other
openings. Avoid direct spray fluid onto the cockpit windows. Avoid
direct spray onto the passenger doors, service doors, and cargo
doors. Fluid sprayed directly on the doors may leak and drip on
customers and baggage and should be avoided.
f. Deicing fluid should be sprayed onto the aircraft surfaces in the same direction
in which the wind is blowing. If possible, the aircraft should be faced into the
prevailing wind.
g. When aircraft have been or will be taxied on wet or slushy taxiways, remove any
accumulation of ice and/or slush from the landing gear components. Use wheel
chocks to secure the aircraft and allow the glycol to cascade over wheels and
brakes to remove ice and slush.

CAUTION:

Avoid Direct Spray to brakes and exposed portions of the strut


pistons. DO NOT SPRAY HOT BRAKES.
h. Use as much fluid as is needed for each deicing/anti-icing operation, keeping in
mind that the critical surfaces must be completely free of snow, ice, and frost.

3. Tower/Bucket Unit 14 CFR 121.135(a)(1)


a. When a tower or bucket unit is used, a minimum of two agents will be necessary.
One agent will drive the unit or tug, the second will be on top of the tower or in
the bucket spraying. A third agent, if available, can assist in guiding the unit and
relaying messages between the driver and agent spraying.
b. When an agent is in the bucket or on top of the tower, a fall-restraining-belt and
a fall-restraining-lanyard must be worn. The deicing unit should not be moving
when anyone is climbing or standing on the ladder.
c. A 10 foot clearance should be maintained at all times between the aircraft and
the unit. A minimum of 5 feet should be allowed between the bucket and the
aircraft.
d. The speed of the tug or truck should not exceed 5 mph.
e. Delta/ Delta Connection Difference at Delta/Delta Connection Station:
4 X 4 X 5 Rule
The truck speed should never exceed 4 miles per hour.
The distance of the basket/enclosed cab should remain 4 feet away from the
aircraft.
The distance from the nozzle should be no more than 5 feet away from the
surface of the aircraft.
4. Deicing/Anti-Icing Preparation and Driving Sequences
14 CFR 121.135(a)(1), 121.629(c)(2)(ii)
a. Wings, tail section, all control surfaces, and flaps must be clear of snow, frost,
and ice before releasing the aircraft for takeoff.

Note: Upon acceptance by the pilot-in-command, loose dry snow, or


frost under the wings may be permitted.
b. Deicing should be performed as close as possible to takeoff time in order not to
exceed the holdover time.
c. Preparation:
1) Install wheel chocks, as required
2) Make certain that all windows, doors, and emergency exits are closed
3) Remove accumulated snow and ice from the landing gear, when necessary
d. Deicing Spray Sequence (single truck)
The deicing spray sequence will begin forward of the tail section at the tip of the
left outboard wing and work clockwise around the aircraft. The starting outboard
wing and work direction may be changed to accommodate the carriers
preferences, or if obstructions preclude this, the deicer will ensure ALL critical
areas in the sequence are deiced. The last section of the aircraft to be deiced
should be the tail section. The sequence listed below is for representative
purposes. It is obvious that all aircraft are not configured alike and general
adherence to these items is intended. See Chapter 6 for Aircraft Specific
Diagrams.

Stabilizers - Ensure that the last section of the aircraft that is deiced is the tail
section. Start at the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer and work toward the
trailing edge, then the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer and work
toward the trailing edge. Thoroughly deice the elevator from leading edge to
trailing edge top and bottom, elevator attachment points must be thoroughly
deiced. Ensure that the top of the horizontal stabilizer and rudder are
thoroughly deiced.

Note: Lower Surfaces - Apply the solution to the bottom surfaces of


fuselage, wings, horizontal stabilizer, landing gear doors, and
landing gear as necessary.Keep application of de-icing fluid to the
landing gear and landing gear doors to a minimum.
CAUTION:

Avoid Direct Spray to brakes and exposed portions of the strut


pistons. DO NOT SPRAY HOT BRAKES
Check the aircraft surface and spray additional heated Type I fluid solution, as
required, to completely remove all frozen accumulations.
f. Deicing Spray Sequence (two trucks or Carwash)
The deicing spray sequence will begin at the nose of the aircraft, with a truck on
each side working around a wing, meeting at the tail section to finish. The last
section of the aircraft to be deiced should be the tail section. The deicer will
ensure ALL critical areas in the sequence are deiced. The sequence listed below
is for representative purposes. It is obvious that all aircraft are not configured
alike and general adherence to these items is intended. See Chapter 6 for
Aircraft Specific Diagram.

Note: ln a 2 truck operation both trucks will usually begin at the nose of
the aircraft and work back towards the tail. Occasionally the spray
sequence may begin at a different location; this is usually due to
an obstruction such as a jetway. At Delta/ Delta Connection
Stations the sequence for a two truck operation generally starts at
the left wing and right wing.
Step 1
- nose section
- forward windows (Unless specifically requested by the crew, DO NOT
spray fluid onto cockpit windows. If Type II or Type IV fluid inadvertently
runs onto the cockpit windows, the windows must be cleaned with an

2) If there is an accumulation of snow, ice, or slush on engine inlets and exhaust
areas the flight crew will contact operations for deicing.
3) Frozen contamination may be removed by spraying above these areas and
letting the fluid cascade down or by using a light mist of fluid around the area
until free from contamination.

CAUTION:Do not spray deicing fluid directly into the engine inlets or
exhausts.
4) If the accumulation of snow, ice, or slush is heavy, it may be necessary to
remove most of the frozen contamination from the engine inlet and exhaust
areas by hand (with the engines shut down) allowing an indirect flow of
deicing fluid to remove the remaining frozen contamination.

CAUTION: Do not approach an engine inlet or exhaust area when an


engine is operating.

Note: Aircraft with operable APU equipment will normally be deiced/antiiced with engines shut down. However, anytime the aircraft does
not have an operable APU and is remotely deiced, OR, when the
flight may otherwise be unable to take-off due to holdover times
limitations, OR, during car wash operations at hub cities, deicing/
anti-icing may be conducted with the engines operating at idle.
The flight crew and ground crew will make the determination that
the engines will or will not be operated during deicing/anti-icing.
After repositioning to the Deicing Pad, the engines are shutdown
or idled as appropriate to the situation. If deicing/anti-icing is to be
accomplished with the engines running, aircraft in required POH
configuration, the parking brake set, and radio communications
established with the flight crew. In either case, the flight crew will
signal the deice crew that the parking brakes have been set.
CAUTION:

Prior to approaching the aircraft, check the operation of the lift


device and ensure that emergency signals have been established
between the driver and the lift operator, to be used in case of
danger or equipment malfunction.

Note: At American (Eagle) cities AA/AE personnel will not routinely


deice/anti-ice with the engines operating. Aircraft engines must be
shut down prior to deicing/anti-icing. In this situation the station
will provide a GPU to provide power to the aircraft. The only
exception allowed for operating aircraft engines during the deice/
anti-ice at American (Eagle) cities is in non-routine situations, and
both the flight crew and the ground crew will make the
determination and must be in agreement that the engines should
be operating.

Provide aircraft electrical power to non-APU equipped aircraft during deicing/
anti-icing at remote (off gate) locations.
Minimize aircraft exposure to ground icing conditions when the aircraft otherwise
may not be able to takeoff within holdover time.
Expedite fleet deicing operations at hub cities.
The flight crew and ground crew will make the determination that the engines will or
will not be operated during deicing/anti-icing.

Each code share has specific information that must be relayed to the flight crew, listed
below are the requirements for each code share partner:
Communication Similarities Applicable to All Approved Programs
1. Chautauqua Airlines and all code share partners use the following method
when communicating mixture ratio to the flight crew: the first number denotes
deicing fluid, i.e. 55/45, 55% would represent the amount of deicing fluid and
45% would represent the amount of water in the mixture.
2. When individuals are specifically assigned deicing responsibilities, the station
will maintain a log of the individuals deicing the aircraft. In those cases, the
employee number, or the name of the person certifying the aircraft is clean and
ready for departure does not have to be communicated to the flight crew.

121.629(c)(2)(iv), 121.629(c)(2)(vii)
1. Importance of Inspection
When disruption of airflow occurs over the wing and horizontal tail surfaces, lift is
reduced which can result in the aircraft becoming unstable when attempting flight,
or preventing the aircraft from flying at all. Even a small amount of substance buildup on aircraft surfaces can adversely affect aircraft stability. Wind tunnel flight tests
indicate that formation of snow, ice, or frost on the leading edge or the upper
surfaces of a wing which has a thickness and surface roughness similar to medium
or coarse sandpaper can reduce wing lift by as much as 30% and increase drag by
40%. The significant changes in lift and drag will increase stall speed, reduce
controllability, and alter flight characteristics. It is imperative that an aircraft not be
released for takeoff unless all critical components of the aircraft are free from
adhering snow, frost, or other ice formations.
2. Post Deice Check
All critical surfaces of the aircraft must be visually inspected before an aircraft is
released for departure during icing conditions or when deicing/anti-icing has been
completed. The inspection is to be performed by the ground crew from an elevated
piece of equipment offering sufficient visibility of these critical surfaces. The
aircrafts critical surfaces must meet the Clean Aircraft Concept before being
cleared to depart. Critical surfaces to inspect include:
a. wings, tail and control surfaces
b. pitot heads, static ports, and angle of attack sensors
c. engine inlets
d. air conditioning inlets, exhausts
e. landing gear and landing gear doors
f. fuel tank vents
g. fuselage
h. a flight control check at the discretion of the flight crew
(A functional check of ailerons, elevators, rudder, and flaps accomplished
by the flight crew and may be necessary if the aircraft has been subjected
to extreme ice or snow covering.)

CAUTION:

Be aware that clear ice can form on critical surfaces when the
aircraft is exposed to some icing conditions and/or when the
ambient temperature is 10C or below.

3. Tactile Check / Inspection


a. A tactile check must be accomplished during the post deice check on Embraer
135/140/145.
b. A tactile check must be accomplished during the post deice check on Canadair
CRJ200 aircraft (except when operating as US Airways Express).

Section 3 Initial Training - Deicing/Anti-Icing 14 CFR
121.135(a)(1), 121.629(c)(2)
Volume 10

c. This check is accomplished after deicing has been completed and if anti-icing is
necessary, before anti-icing begins.
d. A tactile check must be accomplished from outside of the aircraft by qualified
ground personnel.
e. This is performed by physically touching the wing leading edge and an arm's
length section of the upper wing surface to ensure surfaces are free of frost, ice
and snow.
Use a gloved hand on the surfaces across the wing leading edge, wing
forward upper surface and wing rear upper surface to determine that the wing
is free from frost, ice, snow or slush.
When performing a tactile check, you should be able to feel wing seams
where two pieces of metal are joined or screw/rivet heads. If you cannot feel
the differences in these surfaces, this is an indication that ice may be present
and additional deicing is required.

Note: It is recommended that a thin protective glove (i.e., latex, rubber or


vinyl) is worn to complete tactile checks.
CAUTION:

When performing a tactile inspection of the wings rear upper


surface, the inspecting agent should not touch the area between
the extended flaps or aileron and the wing surface.

CAUTION:

The tactile inspection should be of the center area, not


around the edges of the flaps or ailerons. These areas are
extremely dangerous and only require a visual
inspection

CAUTION:

During inspection of the wings rear upper surface it is


important that the inspecting agent stay clear of the
engine intake danger area.

4. Post Anti-ice Check


If the aircraft has been treated with anti-icing fluid, aircraft surfaces should
appear glossy, smooth, and wet.
The post anti-ice check must ensure that the application of the anti-icing material
has been applied uniformly.
There should be no accumulations of ice, snow, or frost on critical surfaces of the
aircraft.

Note: Reference Chapter 6 - For aircraft specifics and detail on critical


surfaces.
If these inspections indicate that the anti-icing has not been applied uniformly or if
accumulations of ice, snow, or frost are on the aircraft, the aircraft shall return for
additional deicing and, where appropriate, additional anti-icing.

if freezing precipitation is falling and the aircraft has not been deiced or anti-iced,
a pre-takeoff contamination check is required to be completed within 5 minutes
of the aircraft being cleared onto the runway for takeoff.
This inspection, when performed by ground personnel, will be completed from an
elevated vantage point permitting a clear view of the top of all horizontal aircraft
surfaces, and must be completed prior to the release of the aircraft, or giving the
Thumbs Up signal to the captain.
Aircraft horizontal and vertical flight and control surfaces must meet the Clean
Aircraft Concept for the aircraft to be release for flight.
If the aircraft has been treated with anti-icing fluid, critical surfaces should appear
glossy, smooth, and wet. If these inspections indicate accumulations of ice,
snow, or frost, the aircraft shall be returned for additional deicing and, where
appropriate, additional anti-icing.
6. Pre-Takeoff Check 14 CFR 121.629(c)(4), 121.629(c)(3)(ii)
A pre-takeoff check is a required check that is accomplished by the flight crew
any time the aircraft has been deiced/anti-iced and a holdover time has been
established. The Flight crew procedures for this may be found in the Pilots
Operating Handbook and the General Operations Manual.

F. RON Aircraft
1. Deice upon reporting
2. Station call
3. It is acceptable to treat RON aircraft with Type II or Type IV due to impending storm
or if frozen precipitation is forecast.
Application Guidelines
Embraer 135/140/145

Apply on wings and tail only.

Canadair CRJ200

Apply on wings and tail only.

(for more detail see illustrations in Chapter 6)


The flight crew on the departing flight MUST be informed by station personnel if antiicing fluid has been applied to their aircraft during an overnight or extended ground
stay. It is required that station personnel verbally notify the flight crew if the aircraft has
been treated with Type II/ Type IV the night before. This is determined by station personnel by checking the Post Deicing/Anti-Icing Report completed the night before.

CAUTION:

The person accomplishing the Anti-Icing for an RON or


the Ground Deicing Supervisor MUST ensure that this
has been logged on the ground deicing record.

Volume 10

G. First Flight of the Day


1. When an aircraft has been parked outside overnight and heavy frost, snow, or ice
is present on the critical surfaces, and there is no falling precipitation, deicing should
be done automatically by the opening ground personnel as soon as possible.
2. If snow or freezing rain is falling, deicing and anti-icing should be accomplished as
close to departure time as possible.
3. It is required that station personnel verbally notify the flight crew if the aircraft
has been treated with Type II/ Type IV the night before. Station personnel can
determine this by checking the Post Deicing/Anti-Icing Report completed the
night before.
4. If an aircraft is treated with Type II/Type IV over night it must be deiced the
next morning with heated Type I regardless of precipitation during the night.

CAUTION:

Type II or Type IV must be completely cleaned off with heated Type


I before dispatching the aircraft. Failure to remove residual Type II
or Type IV from an overnight or extended stay aircraft, with heated
Type I prior to departure, can result in fluid dry-out. Fluid dry-out is
a condition causing restricted movement of flight control surfaces
in flight.

H. Through or Turn-Around Aircraft


1. The pilot-in-command, if available, should be advised before beginning deicing the
aircraft.
2. The pilot-in-command may request the aircraft be sprayed with deicing/anti-icing
fluid if the temperature is at or below the freezing point and the aircraft will be
subjected to rain between the ramp departure and takeoff.
3. Deicing/anti-icing is to be completed anytime it is requested by the pilot-incommand.

I. Holdover Times 14 CFR 121.629(c)(2)(i), 121.629(c)(3),


121.629(c)(3)(i), 121.629(c)(3)(iii)
1. Holdover time is defined as the estimated time the application of deicing or anti-icing
fluid will prevent the formation of frost or ice, and the accumulation of snow on the
treated surfaces of the aircraft.
2. Many factors influence the effectiveness and protection time provided by anti-icing
fluids. Some of the major factors are:
a. temperature of aircraft surfaces and outside air
b. fluid type, amount, strength, and application method
c. precipitation type and rate

Section 3 Initial Training - Deicing/Anti-Icing 14 CFR
121.135(a)(1), 121.629(c)(2)
Volume 10

d. wind velocity and direction


3. Holdover time begins when the final application of the deicing/anti-icing fluid
commences and expires when the deicing/anti-icing fluid loses its effectiveness.
4. Holdover times are calculated by the flight crew using the holdover tables located
in the General Operations Manual.Flight crewmembers obtain the training for the
calculation and the specific requirements of the deicing/anti-icing program through
initial and recurrent training and testing.
5. When the holdover time has expired, or when it has been determined through
inspection that the deicing/anti-icing fluid has lost its effectiveness, the wings,
control surfaces, and other critical surfaces must be deiced again. When that occurs
a new holdover time is determined.

CAUTION:

Ice formation may be difficult to detect during conditions of freezing


drizzle and light freezing rain. Strict adherence to Pre-Takeoff Check
and Pre-Takeoff Contamination Check procedures in these
conditions is especially important at night and limited visibility
conditions. If any doubt exists concerning the aircrafts condition
after completing either check, the aircraft cannot take off unless it is
deiced again or it is determined that the aircraft is free of
contamination.

J. Hot Water Use at Tropical Stations


1. It is acceptable to use hot water when the outside air temperature is 40 degrees F
or above and remains 40 degrees F or above at tropical stations located between
28 degrees North and 28 degrees South Latitude, frost or wing ice may be removed
from an aircraft through normal deicing techniques, using hot water (without
glycol) at a temperature of 180o F not to exceed 200o F.
2. Heated Type I deicing fluid mixture must be used if the outside air temperature is
below 40o F at the time of deicing or falls below 40o F between the time of deicing
and takeoff, the aircraft MUST be deiced with a 140o F not to exceed 200o F heated
Type I fluid mixture before takeoff using the steps outlined in this manual. Cities
included in this geographical zone are TPA, RSW, SRQ, APF, EYW, MTH, MIA,
FLL, PBI, CRP, LRD, MFE, and HRL.

K. Storage, Records, and Compliance


1. Fluid Storage and Handling
a. Deicing/anti-icing fluid is a chemical product with environmental impact. During
fluid handling, avoid any unnecessary spillage, comply with local environmental
and health laws, and manufacturers material safety data sheet (MSDS). Mixing
of different deicing fluid types is not recommended.
b. A slippery condition 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.

Appendix II
A. Type I Deicing Fluid Technical Information
1. General
a. SAE Type I fluid is considered a Newtonian type fluid. Newtonian Fluids are
defined as fluids whose viscosities are shear independent and time independent.
The shear rate of a Newtonian fluid is directly proportional to the shear stress.
The fluid will begin to move immediately upon application of a stress, it has no
yield stress which must be achieved before flow begins.
b. SAE Type I fluids are used diluted with water for deicing and limited anti-icing of
exterior aircraft surfaces prior to takeoff.
2. Type I Fluids per SAE Material Specification Deicing Fluids, Aircraft
a. The following are Chautauqua Airlines approved Deicing Fluids. Propylene
glycol base deicing/anti-icing fluid is the product of choice. Stations that rely on
contract agencies should advise local suppliers.
1) Type I ethylene Glycol (e.g. UCAR ADF IID or equivalent)
2) Union Carbide UCAR AAF 250-3

CAUTION:

Effective November 1990 the use of ethylene glycol (EG) requires a


National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit (NPDES
permit) for storm water discharges of EG.
For air/soil reporting use of EG is required in accordance with the
Comprehensive Environment Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) when quantities exceed the reportable quantity (RG).

Note: UCAR ADF IID is ethylene glycol (EG) based deicing/anti-icing


fluid.
b. Approves Shelf Life
1) UCAE ADF IID:

None Specified

Note: The manufacturer of UCAR ADF IID recommends testing if fluid


has been dormant for over 24 months since purchase or use.
3. Application
The Type I fluid can be used for both the deice and the anti-ice operation, however,
the desired holdover time will be the governing factor in the selection of the fluid type
to be used for anti-ice.

4. Type I Solution Mixtures


a. Deicing fluid is expensive and a mixture in excess of that required to do the job
is a waste of money. Hot fluid is the key to effective deicing. Solutions should
be adequately mixed before deicing aircraft.
1) For UCAR ADF IID, or Texaco WD-30 Deicing/Anti-icing Fluid mixed with
water at:
- 30/70 mix may be used to a minimum of 3 Deg. C (+27 Deg. F) Ambient
Temp.
- 40/60 mix may be used to a minimum of 10 Deg. C (+14 Deg. F) Ambient
Temp.
- 50/50 mix may be used to a minimum of 20 Deg. C (-4 Deg. F) Ambient
Temp
- 60/40 mix may be used to a minimum of 34 Deg. C (-30 Deg. F) Ambient
Temp
b. Testing of Type I mixture is to be accomplished in accordance with this manual
and the manufacturers recommended procedures.

B. Type II Deicing/Anti-Icing Fluid Technical Information


1. General
Type II Fluid is a special product having a glycol content of at least 50% plus a thickener system which forms a pseudo-plastic film on the aircraft surface. This film is
shear sensitive at airstream flow and its performance depends on that property.
During takeoff, the shearing force of the airstream causes the fluid viscosity to
rapidly decrease at speeds above 30 knots. The thinning fluid then flows off the
aircraft, leaving only a minimal residue. Fluids with this characteristic are called
Non-Newtonian Fluids.
2. Type II Fluids per SAE Material Specifications Deicing/Anti-Icing Fluids, Aircraft
SAE Type II deicing/anti-icing fluids (thickened type) provide protection against refreezing under falling precipitation. Fluids available in the United States that meet
SAE Type II Category are Kilfrost ABC-3, SPCA AD 104, and Hoechst 1704LTV
(Dow Chemical Flightgard 2000).

CAUTION:

DURING HANDLING (i.e., TRANSFER FROM TANK TO TANK) ONLY


APPROVED PUMPS MAY BE USED.

3. Test Requirements
The manufacturers concentrated Type II product requires certain tests at delivery,
during storage, and following facility maintenance. These tests will be performed
according to manufacturers specifications.

ORIGINAL, 15 NOV 2003

APX-II-2

Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual
Appendix II
Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual

Volume 10

4. Application
a. Type II deicing/anti-icing fluid requires special spray equipment for application to
the aircraft. The nozzles, lines, pumps, and tanks for spraying Type I fluid must
not under any circumstances, be used for spraying Type II fluid (except in cases
where equipment is designed to handle both fluids).
b. Anti-icing will normally be accomplished with 100% concentrate Type II fluid.
When anti-icing is required, the minimum application will be to the wings and
empennage of the aircraft. Application to the fuselage is restricted to overnight
or extended holds only.

CAUTION:

EQUAL TREATMENT OF BOTH SIDES (LEFT AND RIGHT) OF THE


AIRCRAFT IS MANDATORY, I.E., BOTH WINGS, BOTH SIDES OF
THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND BOTH SIDES OF THE
VERTICAL STABILIZER.
c. When applying the Type II anti-icing fluid, apply fluid spray in a cascading application beginning from the leading edge of the airfoil and work towards the trailing
edge until the entire airfoil is coated. Excessive runoff is not necessary and is
undesirable.

5. Limitations
a. Temperature limits for SAE Type II fluids:
1) SAE Type II fluid used in 100% concentration as an anti-icing agent has a low
temperature application limit. This limit is shown by brand name below:
TYPE II BRAND

LIMIT

Hoechst 1704LTV (Dow Flightgard 2000)

-4 Deg. F

Kilfrost ABC-3

-13 Deg. F

b. Aircraft Type Limit:


Kilfrost ABC-3 and SPCA AD 104 may be used at 75:25 or 50:50 concentration
(anti-icing fluid/water) (per the fluid manufacturers instructions) over the fluid
manufacturers recommended temperature range.
Hoechst 1704LTV may be used at 50:50 concentration (anti-icing fluid/water)
(per the fluid manufacturers instructions) over the fluid manufacturers
recommended temperature range.
6. Precautions
a. See Deicing/Anti-Icing Precautions for Personnel and Aircraft.
b. As concerns for storage and handling, Type II fluid must be stored in special
tanks and can only be pumped and applied with special equipment in order to
maintain its special properties. Reference fluid manufacturers recommendations.
c. Different brands of Type II fluid absolutely must NOT be intermixed or mixed with
Type I fluids of any kind.

C. Type III Deicing/Anti-Icing Fluid Technical Information


1. Test Requirements
The manufacturers concentrated Type III product does not require tests at delivery,
during storage, and following facility maintenance.
2. Application
a. The Type III fluid can be used for both the deice and the anti-ice operation,
however, the desired holdover time will be the governing factor in the selection
of the fluid type to be used for anti-ice.

CAUTION:

EQUAL TREATMENT OF BOTH SIDES (LEFT AND RIGHT) OF THE


AIRCRAFT IS MANDATORY, I.E., BOTH WINGS, BOTH SIDES OF
THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND BOTH SIDES OF THE
VERTICAL STABILIZER.
b. When applying the Type III anti-icing fluid, apply fluid spray in a cascading application beginning from the leading edge of the airfoil and work towards the trailing
edge until the entire airfoil is coated. Excessive runoff is not necessary and is
undesirable.

CAUTION:

THE TIME OF PROTECTION WILL BE SHORTENED IN HEAVY


WEATHER CONDITIONS. HIGH WIND VELOCITY AND JET BLAST
MAY CAUSE A DEGREDATION OF THE PROTECTIVE FILM. IF
THESE CONDITIONS OCCUR, THE TIME OF PROTECTION MAY BE
SHORTENED CONSIDERABLY.

3. Limitation
a. Temperature limits for SAE Type III fluids:
1) SAE Type III fluid should be used in 100% concentration as deicing/anti-icing
agent. The temperature limit is shown below:
TYPE III
LIMIT
