communications and operations and can therefore supervise the safety of de-icing<br />

operations. The coordinator may need to be aware of environmental aspects and monitor the<br />

operations accordingly. Fluid availability and logistics is one important part of coordinating a<br />

de-icing operation. The coordinator should be able to provide the flight crew with pertinent<br />

information of the de-icing procedure if the de-icing crew is unable to provide such<br />

information. Note that at remote areas other de-icing providers may share the same de-icing<br />

pad but not the same coordination. This situation should be clarified beforehand and<br />

procedures should be set up for mutual understanding and foremost because of safety.<br />

6.2.2 Communication procedures<br />

The coordinator has a role of supervising correct communication between the de-icers to the<br />

aircraft and correcting possible misunderstandings.<br />

6.2.3 Safety considerations<br />

It is up to the de-icing coordinator to verify de/anti-icing procedures and take into account<br />

variations between company procedures. At a busy aerodrome with multiple de-icing / antiicing<br />

operations being conducted in parallel, this would be impossible for one person. At<br />

each aircraft/de-icing operation interface, a coordinator needs to be present (visually and<br />

verbally in communication with the flight crew); this role must rest with the service provider.<br />

6.2.4 Airport layout and local compliance<br />

The airport infrastructure must support the winter operations.<br />

Training<br />

Adds nothing to, and does not contradict, the AEA Training Manual. 25 pages as opposed to<br />

193.<br />

Quality Control<br />

No variation from AEA into what operators “should” do, how they should conduct audits,<br />

when and where, etc.<br />

Also includes the DEVA checklist (DE/anti-icing Vendor Audit). This is not dissimilar to the<br />

IATA DAQCP audit checklist.<br />
