✔✔What are the characteristics of Type II de-icing fluid?
Amber color, thicker than type I de-icing fluid, shears off on takeoff roll
Blue color, very thin, extremely fast as de-icing
Purple color, should not be applied directly to wing, ok for pilots to injest.
Pink color, extremely slow at de-icing, thinnest icing fluid - ✔✔Amber color, thicker than
type I de-icing fluid, shears off on takeoff roll
✔✔What speed will type 2 deicing fluid sheer off at

80-100kts - ✔✔80-100kts
✔✔What do I need to calculate to get %MAC
Tracy McGrady
MAC/100, x CG = %MAC
CG x TE MAC, then divided by 100, x MAC = %MAC
CG - LE MAC, then divided by MAC, x 100 = %MAC - ✔✔CG - LE MAC, then divided
by MAC, x 100 = %MAC
