a. Determination of deicing/anti-icing conditions:

The Winter Operations Coordinator (WOC) (a trained individual designated ateach station) will make the determination as to the existence of icing conditions.This will normally be the Station Manager, Manager on Duty, Supervisor onDuty, or Lead Agent on duty. At any offline station (a station not served byChautauqua Airlines), the pilot in command will determine if icing conditionsexist. The criteria upon which to base the decision will be outside air temperatureand precipitation conditions.

b. Coordination with ATC and Airport Managers:

The Winter Operations Coordinator will notify the local controlling ATC facility,the airport manager, as necessary, and the Supervisor, Flight Control to advisethat deicing/anti-icing procedures are in effect.

e. Delta/Delta Connection Stations

1) The Local Station De/Anti-Icing Plan

Each Delta station that conducts de/anti-icing due to inclement weather isrequired to have a Local Station De/Anti-icing Plan. The purpose of the Planis to ensure that all persons who have duties, responsibilities, and functionsduring de/anti-icing operations perform them in accordance with thisdocument, and that adequate management oversight of the Plan ismaintained. The Plan must be kept in a binder in a readily accessiblelocation.

There are some stations that do not need a Local Station De-icing Plan due

to geographical location, meteorological history, and operational experience.These stations are listed below.

Stations that do not perform any de-icing are: ATH, AUA, BCN, BDA, BOG,BOM, CCS, CUN, GCM, GDL, CRU, GUA, HNL, LAX, LIM, LIR, MAD, MEX,MJB, NAS, NCE, OGG, ONT, PTY, SAL, SAN, SCL, SJO, SJU, SNA, STT,SXM.

Stations that de-ice cold soaked aircraft are: DAB, FLL, MCO, MIA, MLB,MSY, OAK, PBI, PHX, RSW, SFO, SRQ, TPA, and VPS. These stations arerequired to update their (J) GXRICE template a minimum of once a seasonwhich must be accomplished at the beginning of Delta's de-icing season,September 1. These stations are exempted from performing monthly

updates, but must update the template as the information within changes.The Plan must include:

• A title, De-icing Plan for _____ _____, where the station name is placed inthe first blank and the year in the second.

• A statement naming the individual who is responsible for the developmentand revision of the plan.

• A list of all trained and/or qualified ground de/anti-icing personnel for thislocal station.

• Completion and updates to the computer based de/anti-icing template, theGXRICE or JGXRICE file, including a paper copy of the latest updatewhich must be filed with the rest of the Plan.

There is a GXRICE or a JGXRICE file in GRS (Deltamatic) for each station:• The file includes the type of glycol available.

• The file includes the number of trucks in service.

• The file details equipment status and information regarding the number ofaircraft that can be de-iced per hour. (This helps flight dispatchers makeoperational decisions during icing events.)

• The statement detailing how Air Traffic Control (ATC) will be notifiedwhenever the Local Station De/Anti-icing Plan is in effect.

Cold Soaked Wing/Cold

Soaked Effect

The wings of aircraft are said to be cold “soaked”

when they contain very cold fuel after flight at highaltitude or after refueling with very cold fuel.Whenever precipitation falls on a cold-soaked

aircraft while on the ground, clear icing may occur.Even in ambient temperatures between –2°C and

15°C, ice or frost can form in the presence of visiblemoisture or high humidity if the aircraft structure

remains at 0°C or below. The following factorscontribute to cold soaking: temperature and quantity

of fuel in fuel cells, type and location of fuel cells,

length of time at high altitude, temperature ofrefueled fuel, and time since refueling.

SAE, FAA

Cold Weather Preflight

Inspection

Visual inspection of the aircraft with emphasis on

critical surfaces as defined for the specific aircrafttype. The inspection must be done whenever the

ground deicing/anti-ice program has beenimplemented, but may be completed at thediscretion of the flightcrew. This inspection must

incorporate contamination recognition techniques.The purpose of the cold weather preflight inspection

is to detect the presence of frozen contaminatesadhering to the aircraft and to serve as the basis for

deciding whether or not to deice/anti-ice the aircraft.Critical Surfaces A surface of an aeroplane, which shall be

completely free of ice, snow, slush, or frost beforetakeoff. Critical surfaces shall be determined by the

Shear Force Shear force is a force applied laterally on an anti-icing fluid. When applied to a Type II, Type III, or

Type IV fluid the shear force will reduce the

viscosity of the fluid; when the shear force is no

longer applied, the anti-icing fluid should recover its

viscosity. Shear forces are applied whenever the

fluid is pumped, forced through an orifice (nozzle)

or when subjected to airflow. If excessive shear

force is applied, the thickener system could be

permanently degraded and the anti-icing fluid

viscosity may not recover and fluid performance can

be affected.

Slush Snow or ice that has been reduced to a soft waterymixture by rain, warm temperature and/or chemical

treatment.

Supercooled Large

Droplets

Large droplets of extremely cold but not frozen,

water that is up to 10 to 100 times larger than

typical rain droplets. These SLD can pose

significant hazards to aircraft, leading to severe in-

systems, such as heated wings, propellers,windshields, and pneumatic boots do not always

protect an aircraft from SLD conditions since they

d. Improper housekeeping. Water on the operation floor or in the passenger loungecould cause a fall.

e. Lack of training. Insufficient snow removal could result in damage to an aircraftwing with a squeegee.

f. Poor discipline. Failure to enforce safety procedures could result in carelesshabits.

g. Failure to obtain help. Not using a guideperson could result in hitting an aircraftwhen backing up the deicing unit.

h. Haste. Unnecessary hurrying to get off on time.

i. Inattention. Daydreaming of Hawaii.

2. DO NOT MOVE equipment up to an aircraft before engines stop rotating & wheelchocks are in position.

3. DO NOT maneuver equipment near the aircraft in an unsafe manner (too fast for

good control on wet/slippery ramp areas).

4. DO NOT drive equipment too close to aircraft.

5. DO NOT pile baggage and cargo too high on carts.

6. NEVER signal aircraft in close quarters without appropriate guidance.

7. ALWAYS set brakes or chock equipment.

8. A safe operation is more important than an on-time operation. Take the time to besafe.

B. How To Build Safe Attitudes

1. Safe attitudes grow in a “can do” environment of mutual respect:

a. They grow as a result of example.

b. They grow if safety instruction and correction is consistent.

c. They grow if backed by firm guidance.

d. They grow if employees have a chance to talk out how accidents can beprevented.

e. They grow if each employee has a part in the safety effort and knows his part isrecognized.

C. Passenger Safety

1. Ensure the passenger’s safety:

a. Ensure stairways to gates are free from contamination, holdrooms and ramp withanti-skid material and maintain handrails in good condition.

b. Keep these areas clear of snow and ice:

1) Doorways leading to and from terminals, gate check-in areas and holdrooms.

2) Walkways leading to and from aircraft stairs, especially the area wherepassengers step off the aircraft stairs.

3) Access areas to ticket counters, baggage claim areas, air freight and anyother areas used by the public.

4) Access areas to Operations, baggage rooms, air freight and ground equip-

ment.5) Parking and working areas for aircraft and ground equipment.

c. Make sure all equipment is parked out of passenger walkways, ground cables,etc.

d. Avoid spraying deicing fluid on passenger walkways.

D. Winter Watchouts

1. Assuming that temperatures are favorable, the following are situations when iceforms on aircraft on the ground, and/or other precipitation causes the need to deice.

a. Freezing of any water which happens to be on the aircraft. This can affect theoperation of control linkages and hinges that would make operation of the aircraftinadvisable before disposing of the ice.

b. Ice forming on exposed surfaces during taxi, takeoff or landing, as a result ofsplashing water or mud which may be on the taxi way or runway. This can affectany exposed part of the aircraft, including the landing gear, flaps, brakes, controllinkages and hinges, wings, tail surfaces, windshield, etc.

c. Glazing of the aircraft, if left out of the hanger during freezing precipitation.

d. Frost collecting on the upper surfaces of the aircraft when it is parked outsideovernight and the air is moist. Frost is very deceptive. It is usually quite thin and

appears as though it would not affect the lift and drag of the aircraft as much asit does. It is a definite hazard during takeoff and ANY FROST IS TOO MUCHFROST!

e. Snow collecting on the surface of the aircraft. Snow on any part of the aircraftcan freeze and cause loss of control of the aircraft.

f. Any form of visible moisture when the temperature is between 28oF and 34oFcan form ice quickly.

E. Gate Lead-In Lines

1. Winter weather often results in the gate lead-in lines being obscured by snow and/

or ice. It is important that flight crews see these ramp lines for proper line-up duringtheir approach to the gate. If the lines cannot be kept visible, ground personnelmust be positioned in such a way that the PIC will have him/her in sight at all timesand use standard hand signals to properly position the aircraft.

2. An aircraft that is improperly parked at the gate greatly increases the chance ofbeing involved in an accident.

F. Winterization Training 14 CFR 121.629(c)(2)

1. Station Managers or their designee will coordinate initial and recurrent winterizationtraining annually at their station for all personnel that are assigned deicing of

aircraft. The annual training will be conducted by Station Trainers. The StationTrainer must complete mandatory Train the Trainer Deicing/Anti-Icing Training priorto any instruction of station personnel. Records will be maintained by the StationManager/Station Director or their designee, or the contract deicing vendor for thistraining. A qualified deicing instructor from Chautauqua Airlines will train stationpersonnel according to the training requirements described in the Chautauqua

Airlines Deicing/Anti-Icing Manual unless the station/vendor participates in aDeicing/Anti-Icing program approved for use on Chautauqua Airlines aircraft by theFAA. The Chautauqua Airlines Training Form or the code share airlines trainingform (if the station/vendor participates in a Deicing/Anti-Icing program approved foruse on Chautauqua Airlines aircraft by the FAA.) will be kept on file and maintainedby the Station Manager or their designee either electronically or in the station/

vendors training records (see Appendix- III).

2. The Station Manager or their designee is responsible for seeing that the StationWinterization Trainers accomplish the training for their station.

a. The primary responsibilities of the Station Winterization Trainer will consist of thefollowing:

1) Train station personnel at their station who have not received current class-room and/or practical training.

2) Ensure that current year winterization procedures are followed by observa-tions of deicing/anti-icing.

3) Ensure that deicing/anti-icing personnel conserve fluid by using proper sprayangles and nozzle settings.

3. Initial and recurrent deicing/anti-icing training will include a comprehensive learningassessment. Training for Chautauqua Airlines, American/American Eagle,Continental/Continental Express, Delta/Delta Connection and US Airways/US

Airways Express personnel includes a hands on review.

4. The initial and recurrent training will consist of: 14 CFR 121.629(c)(2)(iv)

• Effects of Frost, Ice, Snow and Slush:

- Techniques for recognizing contamination

- Loss of lift

- Increased drag and weight

- Decreased control
