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

Aerodromes can also be required to nominate a post-holder/subject-matter-expert to take<br />

responsibility for the application of the SMS in this respect. This person may be the focalpoint<br />

for all de-icing / anti-icing matters.<br />

Where risks can be reduced through aerodrome actions, this can be highlighted.<br />

The impact could be an improved environment of safety data exchange amongst<br />

aerodromes, operators and service providers.<br />

Also aerodromes may take an active approach to facilitating de-icing / anti-icing operations,<br />

as a safety critical function for operators’ use, similar to ILS protection zones and lighting<br />

systems, rather than a commercial ground-handling service.<br />

3.15 De-icing/anti-icing facilities<br />

General<br />

3.15.1 Recommendation.— Aeroplane de-icing/anti-icing facilities should be provided at an<br />

aerodrome where icing conditions are expected to occur.<br />

Doc 9640 Aerodrome Facilities<br />

Aerodrome de-icing/anti-icing facilities are required at aerodromes where ground<br />

snow and icing conditions are expected to occur. This would include aerodromes<br />

which serve aeroplanes that can develop frost or ice on critical surfaces as a result of<br />

having cold soaked wings.<br />

The aerodrome should plan for the two-step de-icing/anti-icing procedure for all<br />

deicing/anti-icing operations even though some operators may choose the one-step<br />

procedure on some occasions.<br />

8.6 De-icing/anti-icing facilities have the following components:<br />

a) de-icing/anti-icing pads for the manoeuvering of aeroplanes;<br />

b) de-icing/anti-icing system comprising one or both of the following:<br />

1) mobile vehicles, and<br />

2) fixed equipment;<br />

c) bypass taxiing capability;<br />

d) environmental run-off mitigation measures;<br />

e) permanent or portable night-time lighting system; and<br />

f) support facilities that may include:<br />
