Cold Wx preflight inspection - ANSWER * Tactile and/or visual check of aircraft's critical
surfaces for ice/snow/frost
* Cold soak frost
* Wing is free of frozen contaminants when: OAT < 5, conditions conducive to icing,
RON and may have been exposed to freezing conditions, through flight that may have
accumulated ice, wing fuel temp < 0 and dew point < 3
* engine inlet
* pitot tubes, static port, ram air intake
* landing gear
* tail
* fuselage/nose
Cold Wx preflight inspection timing - ANSWER Temp is 5 degree or less, must be done
within 30 min from pushback
Deicing is how many steps process - ANSWER 1 step process, to remove frozen
contaminants
Anti-icing is how many step process - ANSWER 2 step process, provide protection
against formation of frozen contaminants on clean surfaces
Applying deice/anti-ice fluid - ANSWER From leading edge to trailing edge and outer
panels to inner panels
Application normally starts at left wing tip.
,What must be done if deice/anti-ice fluid didn't work or needs to be reapplied -
ANSWER Removal of all previous fluids through a full reapplication of type 1
Holdover Time (HOT) - ANSWER Begins when final application of deicing/anti-icing fluid
is first applied to aircraft
Expires when deice/anti-ice fluid loses effectiveness
Use HOT calculator
Pre takeoff Check Policy (within HOT) - ANSWER Done prior to taking active runway
Must be done anytime the aircraft has been deiced/anti-iced, and a HOT has been
established
PIC determines vantage point to see if there is icing on critical surfaces
Accomplished within HOT, close to takeoff
Use wing lighting or flashlights during low visibility
May be required several times
May use pilot out of flight deck protocol
Pre takeoff contamination check (HOT Exceeded) - ANSWER Must takeoff within 5
minutes of this check
Accomplished in cabin checking wings upper surfaces, control surfaces, and winglets.
Without aircraft emergency lighting.
Pilots use out of flight deck protocol
Performed when: HOT exceeded, changing Wx, Heavy Snow
Can't be performed when: deice/anti-ice process initiated at any location other than
wings
Deice personnel notify flight deck crew of? - ANSWER Beginning time & fluid type
applied in final deice step, beginning time of final application and type of anti-ice fluid
Once complete ground crew must do a final visual inspection, then flight deck crew
receives an "all clear" indication
Pre takeoff contamination check (HOT Exceeded) process - ANSWER PIC sets parking
brake
Turns landing and taxi lights off, turns wing inspection lights on
Makes cabin announcement
Flight deck crewmember asks FA dim cabin lighting and all other cabin lights off, uses
out of flight deck protocol, visually inspect surfaces for frozen contamination or fluid
failure from best row, asks passengers to get up and once complete to take their seats
and fasten seatbelts, reports back to PIC
Who to contact for deice procedures about airport operation policies - ANSWER
Manager Winter Operations
Element A deice communication - ANSWER Specific type of of fluid used
, Element B deice communication - ANSWER Percentage of fluid/water mixture
Element C deice communication - ANSWER Time of final application fluid
Element D deice communication - ANSWER Date fluid was applied
Element E deice communication - ANSWER Specify post deice/anti-ice checks for clean
surfaces and receive "all clear"
Factors that influence HOT times - ANSWER Wx change
Exhaust or prop wash of another aircraft
Changes in wind direction or velocity
Ambient temp of aircraft
What freezing conditions can't we land or take off in? - ANSWER Severe Ice, heavy
freezing drizzle, moderate and heavy freezing rain, Hail
Type 1 fluid is what color? - ANSWER Orange, low viscosity
Type IV fluid is what color? - ANSWER Green, high viscosity
What layer of frost is permitted to be under wing for take off - ANSWER < 1/8 inch
Who do you contact if you suspect temperature was less than 0 degree over night -
ANSWER Dispatch
When is the originating checklist done? - ANSWER FFOD
Change in crew
Aircraft swap
Aircraft left unattended
Mx performed
When can the before start checklist be accomplished? - ANSWER Fueling is complete
ATC clearance received
Tasks and Flows complete
What must be done prior to WAANT briefing? - ANSWER One pilot reads ATC
clearance in its entirety and order pilot verifies route on route page, ADS B call sign,
clearance altitude limit, squawk code
PM reads off fixes PF checks fixes to TOD, PF verified fixes on Flight plan page, both
pilots sequence through way points on MFD plan page
Accomplish engine start checklist when: - ANSWER Manifest is complete, takeoff data
has been computed
Engine start tasks and flows are complete
FA reports ready to taxi
