Deicing Facility Operational Procedures
Description / Abstract:
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the standardization of safe operating procedures to be used in performing the services and maintenance at Designated Deicing Facilities (Central Deicing Facilities/Remote Deicing Facilities) that are necessary for proper deicing/anti-icing of aircraft on the ground and performing of associated checks in accordance with the various approved ground icing programs, while considering applicable local environmental, operational and economic requirements.
This document should be used by regulators and airport authorities to develop and standardize approvals and permits for the establishment and operation of a DDF.
The coordination of stakeholders is required prior to the approval of design plans for a deicing facility.
Operating procedures must be agreed to, in writing, by all air operators, airport authorities, regulators and service providers prior to commencing deicing operations.
Infrastructure
During the design phase of a Designated Deicing Facilities (DDF) careful attention must be given to ensure that the infrastructure is in place to support the operating procedures outlined in this document.
Designers of a DDF should refer to ARP4902 for guidance.
Field of Application
Regulatory Considerations
Regulations governing aircraft operations in icing conditions shall be followed. Specific rules for aircraft are set forth in United States Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), European Air Safety Agency (JAR/EASA) Regulations, Canadian Air Regulations (CARs), and others. Paraphrased, these rules state that NO ONE SHOULD DISPATCH OR TAKE OFF AN AIRCRAFT WITH FROZEN DEPOSITS ON COMPONENTS OF THE AIRCRAFT THAT ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE FLIGHT.
The ultimate responsibility for the determination that the aircraft is "clean" (i.e. no frozen deposits on critical surfaces) and meets airworthiness requirements rests with the pilot in command of the aircraft.
Agreements and Contracts
The information contained in this document is recommended as a basis for deicing pad operations, maintenance operations and service support agreements.
Safety – Hazardous Materials
While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this document may involve the use of hazardous materials, the document does not address the hazards that may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and processes and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
Applicability of Guidelines
All guidelines referred to herein are applicable only in conjunction with the referenced sae specifications. Specific requirements for airplane model type are not included. Due to aerodynamic and other concerns application of deicing/antiicing fluids shall be carried out in compliance with engine and aircraft manufacturers' requirements
