3. DEICING/ANTI-ICING EQUIPMENT OPERATION PROCEDURES
These procedures cover the operation of deicing trucks in general. Although there are many different manufacturers, the basic function of the deicer remains the same. The deicing equipment shall satisfy the general safety requirements, as appropriately, set down in the following SAE Aerospace Recommended Practices. – ARP1971 Aircraft Deicing Vehicle – Self-propelled, Large and Small Capacity Safety, functional, and operational requirements are also contained in: – EN 12312-6 Aircraft Ground Support Equipment – Specific Requirements – Part 6: Deicers and deicing/anti-icing equipment – ISO 11077 Aerospace – Self-propelled Deicing/Anti-icing Vehicles – Functional Requirements.
4. PRIMARY FUNCTION
The primary function of the vehicle is to apply deicing/anti-icing fluid from variable heights to the surfaces of aircraft while driving around the perimeter. Warning: Do not drive a deicing vehicle above 6 km/h (4 mph) when boom is in the raised position. Refer to the manufacturer’s and local authorities’ specifications. NOTE: Manufacturers’ operating specifications and regulatory requirements may be different than those shown here. CAUTION: Combustion heaters and trucks should not be operated in confined or poorly ventilated areas to prevent asphyxiation. CAUTION: The operator shall follow all recommended manufacturers’ operating procedures when using this type of equipment.
5. EQUIPMENT BASIC COMPONENTS
– Boom and basket/cabin assembly – Deicing and Anti-icing fluid tanks – Heater system – Fire extinguisher(s) and/or fire suppression system – Auxiliary engine or PTO – Emergency shutdown system – Other applicable components – Communication equipment 5.1 Typical De/Anti-Icing Vehicle Layout NOTE: The items shown are typically found on a deicer. For further details refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
There are many different vehicles on the market that are able to perform the deicing operation. These vehicles range from small to large, from open basket to closed cabin, from a one-man operated to a two-man operated, from fixed spray nozzles to extended boom nozzles, from movable units to fixed units, etc. The vehicles have been developed for specific tasks at specific regions. Some airports only serve smaller aircraft and do not need the large capacity vehicles and vice versa. The vehicles have variations in fluid use as well. Some have electrical heating and some have burners that heat up the fluid before spraying. Some vehicles have a three-tank (deicing/anti-icing fluid) version with Type I, Type II/III/IV, and water separately when some have only one or two tanks with pre-mixed fluid. The concept has been designed to fulfill the requirements of one particular operator and operation. One concept is the same for all that is that they are all lifting devices that require a specific training before use. Certain manufacturers provide special equipment for underwing spraying. Even if this is not a man-lift device, the vehicle cannot be operated without proper training.The deicing vehicle contains many areas where safety precautions must be noted. Some of these areas to be noted are the use of hot fluids, the high pressure of the spray, large and heavy vehicles moving around aircraft, precautions when filling the vehicle, precautions when using the boom and maneuvering, communication between the sprayer and the driver (where applicable), the at times poor visibility while spraying, the use of safety harnesses among other things. The use of the vehicle should be performed in a manner that the following user can continue without any doubts of the safe performance of the vehicle. Any discrepancies shall be informed and noted, and measures shall be taken to indicate to other users that the vehicle may not be usable or that the use is limited.
