Member States to agree on a set of minimum technical
specifications for the proper functioning of de-icing / anti-icing
equipment and infrastructure.
Aerodromes to agree, with other stakeholder subject-matter
experts, a format and remit for special meetings of the AUC
which specifically address de-icing / anti-icing operations and
service provision.
Aircraft manufacturers instructions for continuing airworthiness
to effectively “ban” the use of thickened fluid.
Aircraft manufacturers to provide evidence that their proposed
residue management procedures are effective; otherwise, to
require operators to always use a two-step procedure with
Type I in the first step.
EASA redefines de-icing fluid as being only Type I, Type
I/water mix, and hot water.
NAAs mandate that all appropriate aerodromes should always
offer Type I fluids and a two-step de-icing / anti-icing
procedure.
EASA mandates that an aerodrome shall provide Type I fluid
and a two-step de-icing / anti-icing procedure whenever a user
operator makes the appropriate request.
NAAs should include within their State Safety Programmes a
plan to reduce the risks associated with thickened fluid
residues, by assuring appropriate availability of Type I fluid
throughout a percentage of those aerodromes within their
jurisdiction. The selection of participating aerodromes shall be
justified by an analysis of traffic profiles of affected aircraft.
LoA or Industry Accreditation requirements include the
provision of Type I fluids and two-step procedure.
