INTERIM REPORT – INTRODUCTION<br />

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

4 Contents of the <strong>Interim</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

The 3 Attachments to the “Options for Change” section of the <strong>Report</strong> are supporting<br />

documents, frequently referred to in the main body of the <strong>Report</strong>. They are useful in that<br />

they provide background details to some of the analysis and opinions within the main <strong>Report</strong>;<br />

however, for expediency, the reader may wish to delay examining these documents.<br />

Attachment B (References) is not designed to be read from start to finish, anyway, and is<br />

completely a reference document to specific regulations excerpts (and other documents),<br />

and includes possible options that were not selected for the main <strong>Report</strong>.<br />

The two main documents: Data Summary and Analysis, and Options for Change, are best<br />

read in that order. The latter document’s discussions and conclusions are based on the data<br />

presented in the former.<br />

4.1 Data Summary and Analysis<br />

This document presents the statistics of responses to on-line questionnaires, interviews and<br />

other data sources, followed by analysis of each area within the Study. The analyses<br />

presented include:<br />

- type I fluid availability, defined by weather zones and Member States,<br />

- factors affecting the supply and use of different fluids,<br />

- varieties of market mechanisms for supplying de-icing / anti-icing services,<br />

- infrastructure ownership and use,<br />

- training standards and classifications, and<br />

- NAA oversight and responsibilities of the three main affected stakeholder groups:<br />

operators, aerodromes and service providers.<br />

4.2 Options for Change<br />

This document provides further analysis and opinion. It specifically leads the discussion to<br />

numerous options, aimed at a variety of stakeholder groups, to change the status quo.<br />

Utilisation is made of existing and available information of relevance, primarily the Agency’s<br />

previous work on de-icing / anti-icing matters through A-NPA 2007-11, wherein numerous<br />

recommendations that were made remain valid and still need to be considered. Included<br />

within the document are discussions on the following subjects:<br />

- an Industry-wide safety initiative aimed at collecting data,<br />

- the nomination of de-icing / anti-icing subject-matter experts,<br />
