Aircraft Alignment During Deicing
69. Most pilots will prefer to align their aircraft into the prevailing wind when preparing for a deicing/anti-icing operation, in order to reduce or prevent any fluid(s) being used from blowing back onto the flight deck windows. However, depending upon the location of the deicing location at an airport, and the traffic flow patterns on the ground at that airport, it may not be possible to align the aircraft directly into the prevailing wind for deicing purposes.
