This document provides information and guidance material to assist in assessing the need for and feasibility of developing deicing facilities, the planning (sizing and siting) and design of deicing facilities, and assessing environmental considerations and operational considerations associated with deicing facilities.The document presents relevant information necessary to define the need for a deicing facility and factors influencing its size, location, and operation. The determination of the need for deicing facilities rests with airports.
This document provides information and guidance material to assist in assessing the need for and feasibility of developing deicing facilities, the planning (size and location) and design of deicing facilities, and assessing environmental considerations and operational considerations associated with de-icing facilities.The document presents relevant information necessary to define the need for a deicing facility and factors influencing its size, location, and operation. The determination of the need for deicing facilities rests with Airports.Although this document intends to provide information to airport operator and deicing facility planner/designer, all stakeholders, including deicing service providers, should be involved in the development process. This document originally presents guidance material for the planning, design and construction of terminal area or remote deicing/anti-icing facilities and has been edited to revision C to cover and reflect latest developments in the globalization of standards. It is intended to provide the airport operator and deicing facility planner/designer an understanding of the issues and relevant information necessary to define the need for a deicing facility and identify factors influencing its size, location and operation, including airport and aircraft operational characteristics, physical site constraints, and environmental considerations and/or constraints. While this document does not recommend any specific type or configuration of deicing facility, it does present the general issues and concerns which should be addressed in assessing the need for and the planning/design of such facilities based on the combined knowledge of the authors. It should be recognized that due to the unique physical and operational characteristics of each airport, there may be unique considerations at a specific site that are not raised in this manual.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides guidelines for the standardization of safe operating procedures to be used in performing services and maintenance at designated deicing facilities (DDFs), comprising both central deicing facilities (CDFs) and remote deicing facilities. These procedures are necessary for the proper deicing/anti-icing of aircraft on the ground and performance of associated checks in accordance with the various approved ground icing programs, while considering applicable local environmental, operational, and economic requirements. This document should be used by operators, regulators, and airport authorities to develop and standardize approvals and permits for the establishment and operation of a DDF.The coordination of stakeholders is required prior to the approval of design plans for a deicing facility.Operating procedures shall be agreed to, in writing, by all air operators, airport authorities, regulators, and service providers prior to commencing deicing operations. ARP5660 has been revised to include additional technical content, as well as to reduce redundant information contained in other SAE documents. All references to ARP5149 and ARP4737 have been replaced by references to AS6286 and AS6285, respectively.AS6285 forms one part of three related SAE Aerospace Standards (AS) and should be read in conjunction with AS6286 and AS6332. Collectively, AS6285, AS6286, and AS6332 are known to the international community as the "global aircraft deicing standards." The lead document is AS6285, which all the other documents support and should therefore be in agreement.
