Chapter 5 - Ground Crew Supplement

Recurrent Training

6.  At a minimum, recurrent training for ground deicing crews and maintenance personnel must cover the following (additional training may be required for larger and more complex organizations):

• A review of current de-icing and anti-icing operations and inspection procedures;
   
• A review of any changes to the program;
   
• A review of the latest available research and development on ground de-icing and anti-icing operations; and
   
• Issuance of an information circular prior to commencement of winter operations to all involved personnel. The circular must review procedures and present any new information.

7.  All trained personnel must be tested on all information covered in their respective initial and recurrent training programs.

8.  An air operator that contracts de-icing/anti-icing services from another organization is responsible for ensuring that the training program of the contractor and application of de-icing/anti-icing operation standards meet the operator's own AGIP criteria. The operator is responsible for documenting the contractor's procedures and training.
