Pre-deicing checks
Vehicle, fluid and communication checks before approach.
Winter operations
Aircraft deicing and anti-icing vehicle operation. Beta
Positioning, boom and basket control and fluid application at the stand and on the deicing pad.
Overview
Deicing operations
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.
Use cases
What trainees practice.
Each item is a mission type your instructors can assign, repeat and score. All of them run on your own airfield.
Positioning at the aircraft
Wing, fuselage, tail and engine clearance.
Boom and basket control
Reach, height and standoff from the surface.
Application sequence
Type I deicing and Type IV anti-icing in order.
Critical surfaces
Coverage of wings, tail and control surfaces.
Holdover awareness
Timing from application to departure.
Flight deck and pad control
Calls before, during and after application.
Night and freezing rain
Low visibility and contaminated surfaces.
How a mission runs
How a mission runs.
- 01The instructor selects the stand or pad, aircraft type, weather and traffic in the Mission Editor and assigns the mission.
- 02The operator drives the modeled deicing truck to the aircraft and positions at each surface with clearance tracked.
- 03Boom and basket are controlled from the cab or basket console. Fluid application is performed in sequence on the critical surfaces.
- 04The mission scores clearance, coverage, sequence, timing and communication, and records the result.
