INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE – ATTACHMENT B<br />

<strong>EASA</strong>.2009.OP.21<br />

There is an option to provide supporting information to detail specifically what these duties<br />

may be concerning de-icing / anti-icing operations.<br />

Providing supporting material would be useful in reinforcing the need for operators to play<br />

their role in ensuring safe de-icing / anti-icing operations. Although, to do so here may<br />

duplicate the requirement of OPS 1.345, shown below.<br />

OPS 1.290 (b) 1.<br />

Flight preparation<br />

The commander shall not commence a flight unless he/she is satisfied that the aeroplane is<br />

airworthy.<br />

OPS 1.345(b)<br />

A commander shall not commence take-off unless the external surfaces are clear of any<br />

deposit which might adversely affect the performance and/or controllability of the aeroplane<br />

except as permitted in the Aeroplane Flight Manual.<br />

These Rules complement each other: one general and the other specific.<br />

OPS 1.345<br />

Ice and other contaminants — ground procedures<br />

(a) An operator shall establish procedures to be followed when ground de-icing and anti-icing<br />

and related inspections of the aeroplane(s) are necessary.<br />

ACJ OPS 1.345<br />

Ice and other contaminants Procedures<br />

Too large to include here. This supporting material is very broad and includes:<br />

background educational material; requirements for operators’ procedures;<br />

maintenance considerations; and, training recommendations. The content is good<br />

(based on current best-practices), however, because of its range of subjects and mix<br />

of requirements, recommendations and background information it is not perfectly<br />

clear, nor necessarily helpful to operators in establishing their procedures. The final<br />

section is included here because of its relevance:<br />

10. Subcontracting (see AMC OPS 1.035 sections 4 and 5)<br />
