NTSB to Operators: Review De-icing Procedures

In the wake of recent revisions to the FAA’s 2012-2013 deicing holdover tables, NBAA is encouraging aircraft operators and service providers to review the changes, which could affect their procedures as winter weather arrives. The new guidance includes small changes to rated holdover times and the length of time an aircraft may wait to depart following application of an approved de-icing fluid.
