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

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

b. Characteristics;<br />

c. Effects on aircraft performance;<br />

d. Holdover times; and<br />

e. Precautions during usage.<br />

This Rule and AMC remains the same as Appendix 1 to OPS 1.1045 A.8. They contain very<br />

little guidance, and focus on one element (fluid types) but omit many others. The de-icing<br />

/anti-icing policy and procedures are not one of the OM contents that requires specific<br />

approval by the Authority (JAA IEM OPS 1.1040(b)); instead the operator only has to ensure<br />

that the detailed structure of the Operations Manual is acceptable to the Authority (OPS<br />

1.1045).<br />

It is an option to revise this Appendix and include other elements, such as: the operator’s<br />

communication and coordination procedures (for de-icing / anti-icing); the anti-icing code;<br />

inspection and checking procedures; re-assessment of HOT in changing conditions; affect of<br />

re-hydrated fluid residues on flying control surfaces; and contents of the operator’s standard<br />

contract for de-icing / anti-icing etc.<br />

Revision of the OM contents for de-icing / anti-icing may have the effect of operators<br />

reviewing their procedures (especially if the revision is in conjunction with other regulatory<br />

changes); this may then have the effect of the revision of training programmes and<br />

awareness campaigns. Raised awareness and more valuable information available in the<br />

OM will be good for safety.<br />
