Book Description
The purpose of this report is to emphasize the 'Clean Aircraft Concept' following ground operation in conditions conducive to aircraft icing and to provide information to assist in compliance. Recent accidents involving large transport and small general aviation aircraft indicates that misconceptions exists regarding the effect of slight surface roughness caused by ice accumulations on aircraft performance and flight characteristics and the effectiveness of Freezing Point Depressant (FPD) ground deicing and anti-icing fluids. During development of information contained herein it was recognized that guidance information should be directed to all segments of aviation to include aircraft manufacturers; airline engineering, maintenance, service and operations organizations; aircraft maintenance and service personnel; and aircrews of all aircraft types and categories. Information contained herein therefore is general in nature for basic understanding purposes to facilitate development of standardized procedures and guidance by various segments of the aviation industry.

Aviation Safety: Preliminary Information on Aircraft Icing and Winter Operations

Pages : 26
Book Description
Ice formation on aircraft can disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wings and prevent the aircraft from taking off or decrease the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft. Despite a variety of technologies designed to prevent ice from forming on planes, as well as persistent efforts by the FAA to mitigate icing risks, icing remains a serious concern. This statement provides info. on: (1) the extent to which large commercial airplanes have experienced accidents and incidents related to icing and contaminated runways; (2) the efforts of FAA to improve safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions; and (3) the challenges that continue to affect aviation safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions. Charts and tables.

Book Description
This document establishes the minimum requirements for ground-based aircraft deicing/anti-icing methods and procedures to ensure the safe operation of aircraft during icing conditions on the ground. This document does not specify the requirements for particular aircraft models. The application of the procedures specified in this document are intended to effectively remove and/or prevent the accumulation of frost, snow, slush, or ice contamination which can seriously affect the aerodynamic performance and/or the controllability of an aircraft. The principal method of treatment employed is the use of fluids qualified to AMS1424 (Type I fluid) and AMS1428 (Type II, III, and IV fluids).All guidelines referred to herein are applicable only in conjunction with the applicable documents. Due to aerodynamic and other concerns, the application of deicing/anti-icing fluids shall be carried out in compliance with engine and aircraft manufacturer's recommendations. The purpose of this document is to provide industry standards for the methods and procedures used in performing the treatments necessary for the proper deicing and anti-icing of aircraft on the ground using AMS1424 and AMS1428 qualified fluids (Types I, II, III, and IV) and non-fluid methods.AS6285 forms one part of three related SAE Aerospace Standards (AS) and should be read in conjunction with AS6286 and AS6332. Collectively, AS6285, AS6286, and AS6332 are known to the international community as the "global aircraft deicing standards."Exposure to weather conditions on the ground conducive to ice formation can cause the accumulation of frost, snow, slush, or ice on aircraft surfaces and components. These contaminants can adversely affect aircraft performance, stability, and control, and operation of mechanical devices such as control surfaces, sensors, flaps, and landing gear. If frozen deposits are present, other than those considered in the aircraft certification process, the performance of the aircraft may be compromised.Regulations governing aircraft operations in icing conditions shall be followed. Specific rules for aircraft are set forth in the United States Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), EASA Operation Regulations (EU-OPS), Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR), and others. Paraphrased, these rules specify that no one may dispatch or take off an aircraft with frozen deposits on components of the aircraft that are critical to safe flight. A critical surface or component is one which could adversely affect the mechanical or aerodynamic function of an aircraft. In the event of differences or discrepancies in the requirements set out in this standard and any requirements set out in the domestic regulations applicable to the end user, the domestic regulation requirements shall supersede those set out in this standard.As individual icing situations or aircraft types and models may require special procedures, this document can never replace the aircraft operator's judgement. The responsibility for the correct deicing and anti-icing procedures for aircraft always rests with the operator of the aircraft.The ultimate responsibility for the determination that the aircraft is clean and meets airworthiness requirements rests with the pilot-in-command of the aircraft.Changes in this revision (AS6285D) include: Reference to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada (TC) deicing program guidance. Additional definitions and abbreviations of commonly used terms. Alignment of definitions, ordered alphabetically. Additonal language for fluid appearance. Alignment and clarification of postdeicing/anti-icing communication that includes the anti-icing code. Additional note to reference fluid manufacturer documentation. Removal of fluid application tables, replaced by reference only. Additional note on gravel deflectors and the requirements to be free of frozen contamination. Editorial modifications, particularly on capitalization and hyphenation of words.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO assessed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) progress in developing new regulations governing airlines' ground operations during icing conditions. GAO found that: (1) FAA issued interim final regulations within 6 months after a major accident that may have been caused by icing; (2) the new regulations require more thorough procedures for inspecting aircraft and removing ice before takeoff, and incorporate guidance on the length of time deicing fluids are effective; (3) the regulations also detailed the training airlines should provide to their personnel on safety during icing conditions; (4) despite improvements, the regulations allow pilots to check for ice from inside the aircraft; (5) the new regulations do not apply to commuter airlines; and (6) FAA could more proactively verify that airlines have provided the required training.
