What we do
WEATHER SOLUTIONS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Holdover Time Science 101
WEATHER SOLUTIONS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Holdover Time Tables
WEATHER SOLUTIONS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS
✈ De/anti-icing fluid holdover times are an important tool in the safety of winter flight operations
✈ Significant amount of research and development was performed and the quality of the data employed in the current holdover time tables is excellent

Fluid Testing
WEATHER SOLUTIONS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS
✈ The holdover time for any aircraft de/anti-icing fluid is a function of three variables:
✈ Rate of precipitation (LWE)✈ Type of precipitation✈ Ambient temperature
Holdover Time Tables
WEATHER SOLUTIONS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS
✈ The holdover time for any aircraft de/anti-icing fluid is a function of three variables:
✈ Rate of precipitation (LWE) = ?✈ Type of precipitation = Snow✈ Ambient temperature = -4 Celsius
0:40 – 1:05

NO HOTs EXIST
✈ Flight crew’s ability to extract the proper information from the tables has not advanced with the science employed to build the tables
✈ Refinement of the “format” would allow for expansion of operational use of fluid holder times
Holdover Times
WEATHER SOLUTIONS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS
✈ System consists of numerous sensors enabling the determination of:
✈ Rate of precipitation✈ Type of precipitation✈ Ambient temperature
✈ System measurements used to generate an accurate holdover time (HOT) for each departing aircraft based actual conditions
✈ System output can be configured to generate HOT information according to the client’s preference and operational needs
