Conversion Course Syllabus<br />
There is no mention in the JAA supporting material, either, of de-icing / anti-icing<br />
being part of the ground training syllabus.<br />
Appendix 1 to OPS 1.965(a)1.(i)(B)<br />
Recurrent training and checking — Pilots<br />
Recurrent training shall comprise ground and refresher training; the ground and refresher<br />
training programme shall include operational procedures and requirements including ground<br />
de-/anti-icing.<br />
These Rules explain the stages and content of an operator’s conversion course for pilots,<br />
and also the recurrent training syllabus. No mention is made of the operator’s de-icing / antiicing<br />
policy, procedures and contracts within the conversion course; however, there is a<br />
reference to de-icing / anti-icing in the recurrent training programme. For both elements of<br />
training it is required that elements of CRM are integrated into the course.<br />
It is possible to ensure that flight crew learn and understand the operators de-icing / anti-icing<br />
policy and procedures before commencing line flying, by making this a requirement of a<br />
conversion course. Emphasis can then be placed on the use of CRM to overcome<br />
communication and coordination problems that typically arise during winter operations (OPS<br />
1.943).<br />
There should be a positive impact from introducing this option, as pilots are guaranteed to be<br />
exposed to the operator’s de-icing / anti-icing policy and procedures earlier and perhaps<br />
have time to study it in more depth. Any re-emphasis to address CRM issues during winter<br />
operations would help towards more positive outcomes during problems with communication<br />
and coordination during winter operations.<br />

Operations Manual Contents<br />
An operator shall ensure that the Operations Manual contains the following:<br />
8.2.4 De-icing and anti-icing on the ground. A description of the de-icing and anti-icing policy<br />
and procedures for aeroplanes on the ground. These shall include descriptions of the types<br />
