Abstract:This report provides practical technical guidance on procedures and technologies to reduce the use of aircraft deicing and anti-icing fluids (ADAF) while maintaining safe aircraft operations across the wide range of winter weather conditions found in the United States and Canada. This guidance is presented as (1) a series of best management practices that are immediately implementable and (2) the detailed findings and recommendations of experiments to evaluate holdover time determination systems, spot deicing for aircraft frost removal, and ADAF dilutions. The report will be of direct interest to airport and airline staff responsible for aircraft deicing and anti-icing operations and the mitigation of their environmental impacts. Included with this report is a packet of 16 Fact Sheets describing promising technologies and procedures from Chapter 2, singly or in combination, in the form of readily implementable best management practices. Each Fact Sheet includes (1) a description of the technology or procedure; (2) implementation considerations; and (3) cost information. In 2016, the 16 Fact Sheets were reviewed to assess if they reflected current technologies and practices in the industry. That review resulted in updates to Fact Sheets 45, 55, and 56, and the creation of a new Fact Sheet 112. describing promising technologies and procedures from Chapter 2, in the form of readily implementable best management practices.
