EASA should take this opportunity to liaise closely with the
FAA, and TC, with the aim of harmonising future de-icing / antiicing
regulations and thereby avoiding differing requirements,
giving rise to ambiguity and confusion.
EASA to require all NAAs to establish and maintain a
monitoring programme of de-icing / anti-icing service providers
exercising activities on their territory.
EASA to develop guidance for NAAs in how to implement a
monitoring programme of de-icing / anti-icing service providers
in compliance with AR.GEN.305.
EASA to amend AMC2 AR.GEN.300 Continuing Oversight Ops
– to include an operator’s arrangements for ground-handling.
EASA and NAAs to agree a dataset and method of collection,
distribution and analysis for ascertaining the existing levels of
risk from residue formation.
NAAs to require operators, and where applicable maintenance
organisations, to record and submit data, relevant to individual
aircraft, concerning applications of de-icing / anti-icing fluid, and
the effect of inspections for, and removal of, residues.
NAAs to request brief descriptions of operators’ residue
management programmes, including inspection and cleaning
methods, and how assessment of their effectiveness is made.
NAAs should issue instructions to aerodromes and ANSPs to
emphasise that during winter operations priority should be
given to shorter taxi times (post de-icing / anti-icing) rather than
noise limitation.
