[NSRCA-discussion] Attention Commercial Full Scale Pilots

[Daniel Dupont]

De-icer Booth would be on smaller airplanes….like king air…size, was also used a lot in 50’s design, its a very limited system in term of how much ice it can take…..

Since it has to accumulate ice before engaging it….there’s a risk of roll off…..meaning the ice might get being the booth if the precipitation are too much for the system to handle, the bleed air is the prefer method, will handle a lot of ice….

Most all commercial aircraft have wing deice system a heated leading edge  that works off bleed air,or deice boots, which inflates to break off any ice build up

I have a couple of questions regarding de-icing of full scale commercial jets.  I’m trying to prep for being an expert witness on an environmental matter related to de-icing.

 

Is the purpose of the de-icing fluid just to knock off the ice prior to take off or is it also intended to remain on the plane during flight?

 

Do commercial jets contain any other mechanism for preventing or stopping ice buildup during flight (e.g., heating elements)?

 

I always assumed that all de-icing activities occur out in the open.  However, I’ve heard some airports now do this within enclosures.  Are these enclosures two side (i.e., the plane pulls straight in one side of the enclosure and straight out the other side of the enclosure without raising and lowering doors on the entrance and exit?

 

Any other details you can provide me would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Ron
