Q

What does the HOT represent?

A

Q

What should a crew use to determine precipitation intensities in order to accurately establish a HOT?

A

Official weather observations. Tables from the Ground Deicing Procedures Manual (GDPM) should only be used in the absence of intensities listed in the official observations.

Q

Can the HOT be used as the sole determinant that aircraft critical surfaces are free of frozen contaminants?

A

No, several pre-takeoff checks may be required to determine the condition of the aircraft prior to takeoff.

Q

What are two factors that influence the effectiveness of deicing/anti-icing fluid?

A
  • Change in precipitation type, intensity, and moisture content.
  • Change in ambient and aircraft skin temperature.
  • Position of aircraft relative to the exhaust or prop wash of other aircraft.
  • Change in wind direction or velocity.

Q

What is checked as part of the Pre-Takeoff check?

A

The representative surface from a vantage point in the aircraft that the PIC determines will give an accurate indication of the condition of the aircraft.

17
Q

What should the crew do if they are unable to determine that the representative surface is free from frozen contaminants?

A

The aircraft must be deiced again.

18
Q

When is a Pre-Takeoff Contamination check conducted?

A

After the HOT has been exceeded or the HOT is no longer valid due to changing weather conditions, or in heavy snow. This is to ensure the wings, control surfaces, and other critical surfaces are free of all frozen contaminants.

19
Q

Can the Pre-Takeoff Contamination check be performed if the deicing process was initiated at a location other than the wings, for instance, the tail?

A

No.

20
Q

Is there ever a case where the aircraft can depart with frozen contaminants on any of the critical surfaces?

A

No.
