CS ADR-DSN.G.375 General
Aeroplane de-icing/anti-icing facilities should be provided at an aerodrome where icing conditions are expected to occur.
GM1 ADR-DSN.G.375 General
Combinations of ice, snow and/or standing water may, especially when rain, rain and snow, or snow is falling, produce substances with specific gravities…
CS ADR-DSN.G.380 Location
De-icing/anti-icing facilities should be provided either at aircraft stands or at specified remote areas.
GM1 ADR-DSN.G.380 Location
The de-icing/anti-icing facilities should be so located as to ensure that the holdover time of the anti-icing treatment is still in effect at the end of…
CS ADR-DSN.G.385 Size of de-icing/anti-icing pads
The safety objective of the de-icing/anti-icing pad dimensions is to allow safe positioning of aircraft for de-icing/anti-icing, including sufficient…
GM1 ADR-DSN.G.385 Size of de-icing/anti-icing pads
It is recommended that the aerodrome have facilities with a de-icing/anti-icing capability equivalent to the maximum peak hour departure rate that can be…
CS ADR-DSN.G.390 Slopes on de-icing/anti-icing pads
The de-icing/anti-icing pads should be provided with suitable slopes:
GM1 -ADR-DSN.G.390 Slopes on de-icing/anti-icing pads
It is recommended that the drainage arrangements for the collection and safe disposal of excess de-icing/anti-icing fluids prevent ground water…
CS ADR-DSN.G.395 Strength of de-icing/anti-icing pads
The de-icing/anti-icing pad should be capable of withstanding the traffic of the aircraft it is intended to serve.
GM1 ADR-DSN.G.395 Strength of de-icing/anti-icing pads
Consideration should be given to the fact that the de-icing/anti-icing pad (in common with an apron) should be subjected to a higher density of traffic…
CS ADR-DSN.G.400 Clearance distances on a de-icing/anti-icing pad
The safety objective of the clearance distances on a de-icing/anti-icing pad is to provide safe separation between an aircraft using the stand and any…
GM1 ADR-DSN.G.400 Clearance distances on a de-icing/anti-icing pad
The separation criteria should take into account the need for individual de-icing/anti-icing pads to provide sufficient manoeuvring area around the…
