Chapter 5 - Ground Crew Supplement

Conclusion

Ground de-icing and anti-icing procedures vary greatly depending primarily on aircraft type, type of contamination accumulation on the aircraft and FPD fluid type. Ground crew should become familiar with applicable Canadian Aviation Regulations and Standards, the procedures recommended by the aircraft manufacturer in the Aircraft Flight Manual, Maintenance Manual and, where appropriate, the Aircraft Service Manual. As well, they should comply with all Company Operations Manual provisions.
