  • If potable water > 1/8 and bars are loaded, normal service until 1/8
32
Q

Mass and Balance Document

A
  • LID: Load Information Document or,
  • Paper Loadsheet
33
Q

Rear Hold Status

A

Commander shall always ask the dispatcher to “confirm the status of the rear hold”

34
Q

Infant Seating Instructions

A
  • May not seat emergency exits,
  • Each seat row unit (triple) may contain 1 infant
35
Q

Cold Weather Ops Flap Extension On the Ground

A
  • Delay until reaching holding point in Freezing Conditions or following de-icing,
  • If extended before, hold over time is no longer valid,
  • With flaps extended, HOT observed to be degraded as much as half
36
Q

Type I Fluid Specifications

A
  • For anti-icing the mixture should have freezing point of at least 10 degrees below the OAT,
  • Increasing the concentration does not provide any extension in HOT
37
Q

Type III Fluid Usage

A
  • Intended for use on aircraft with low rotation speeds,
  • Speed less than 100KT,
  • Type II and IV generally does not pass the low speed test
38
Q

CSFF Relief

A
  • When OAT 4 degrees or more,
  • Inform CSS when relief is applied
39
Q

Clear Ice Cautions

A
  • When fuel temperature subzero and large quantity in main tanks,
  • OAT around 0 degrees and drizzle/rain present,
  • Most vulnerable parts: wing root and skins in contact with unused fuel,
  • Using WAI may melt the snow that may freeze again later,
  • If in doubt DE-ICE
40
Q

LOUT

A
  • Lowest Operational Use Temperature,
  • Not less than 10 degrees of freezing point for Type I, 7 degrees for Type II, III, IV,
  • LOUTs for mixtures only given when relevant temperature is warmer
41
Q

De-icing and Fuel Temperature

A
  • If fuel temperature < OAT, inform the service provider,
  • In this condition stronger mix may be used
42
Q

De-ice and Anti-ice Methods

A
  • Brushing,
  • Fluid application,
  • Infrared heat,
  • Forced air
43
Q

De-icing/Anti-icing at Home Bases

A
  • During early morning preflight checks if required Maintenance supervise the process,
  • If Hoar Frost likely, maintenance may de-ice/anti-ice overnight or early morning,
  • Anti-icing provides a long HOT against hoar frost
44
Q

DAR Form

A
  • De-icing/Anti-icing Request Form,
    -“Contamination Check” part indicates which areas to be cleaned and filled by commander or engineer,
  • Commander signs the form and inserts relevant Tech Log page reference,
  • Commander keeps top copy and clips to the stick checklist for a reminder of HOT until T/O roll
45
Q

De/Anti-icing with Engines Running

A
  • Ensure flight details and Contamination Check filled. Sign the form with relevant Tech Log page reference,
  • Provide Tech Log page copy to the agent prior engine start,
  • After procedure confirm Anti-icing code via headset and the name of the person responsible,
  • Write the name to top blue copy,
  • Sign the form and clip it to stick checklist until T/O roll
46
Q

Service Provider Without DAR Form

A
  • They can use theirs,
  • Their form copy shall be attached to EFL or flight envelope
47
Q

Alternative Methods of Removal of Dry Snow

A
  • Long handled soft brooms and squeegees used for wings and stabilizers,
  • Soft cotton rope or fabric hoses used for upper fuselage,
  • If structure is dry and OAT below 3 degrees with light snow, it’s advisable not to spray aircraft
48
Q

De/Anti-ice First Aid Measures

A
  • Ingestion: give large quantities of water,
  • Skin contact: Wash off in flowing water, launder contaminated clothing,
  • Eye contact: Irrigate for 5 minutes,

A

Typically within 3 minutes of de-icing

51
Q

Removal of Local Area Contamination

A
  • For example for local CSFF,
  • Freezing conditions not exists,
  • Application must be symmetrical (even no contamination on the other side),
  • Use fluids which are suitable for one step procedure,
52
Q

Pre Takeoff Contamination Check

A
  • If HOT has been exceeded or in doubt,
  • Commander shall arrange an external check,
  • If not posssible de-ice and anti-ice again
53
Q

Visual Cues For Anti-icing Deterioration

A
  • Surfaces look glossy, smooth and wet when anti-iced,
  • Loss of gloss or dulling means deterioration
54
Q

A

Yes if no approved contractor present,

55
Q

De/Anti-icing Fluid Mixture Notes

56
Q

De/Anti-icing Time Recording

A
  • Given by agent as a local time,
  • Commander needs to convert it to UTC
