Deicing Operations

Aircraft deicing and anti-icing vehicle operation. Positioning, boom and basket control and fluid application at the stand and on the deicing pad.

Program overview

Deicing is a short season, a tight timeline and a close approach to the aircraft with a boom. Operators need to position the truck at wing, fuselage and tail without contact, apply fluids in the correct sequence and keep the flight deck and pad control informed. AVOPSIM models your deicing trucks with boom and basket controls, your stands and your deicing pad, with snow, freezing rain and night set per mission, so operators train the full procedure before the first event.

Note

Deicing operations is in beta. Ask the AVOPSIM team about early access.
