Organization Releases Online Module On De/Anti-Icing
Procedures
NATA's "Safety 1st" released an online De/Anti-icing Training
Module Monday which it says compliments its Professional Line
Service Training (PLST) Online Training. NATA's Safety 1st
De/Anti-icing module is designed specifically for the general
aviation industry to familiarize line service specialists with the
responsibilities of their job and give an overview of the skills
necessary for safe aircraft departures in winter weather.
Included in the training are de/anti-icing best practices and
procedures, vivid videos and photos to help shape understanding,
resources such as current Federal Aviation Administration holdover
tables, quizzes throughout to reinforce major concepts and a final
exam to ensure comprehension - all combined in a thorough online
package for consistent training of the de-icing crew.
Among the topics covered by the traning are:
- The crucial reasons for de-icing and the effects of icing on
aircraft flight.
- De-icing and Anti-icing Fluids: covers the different types of
fluids, their characteristics and their primary usage.
- De-icing and Anti-icing Application: covers specifics on when
and how to apply the different fluid types.
- De-icing and Anti-icing Safety: discusses personal protective
equipment requirements and procedures for the safe operation of
your de-icing equipment.

effectively and best practices to follow.
- Anti-icing Fluid Application: stresses what to do and what NOT
to do when applying anti-icing fluids.
- Final Preparations For Departure: covers your responsibilities
as well as what to expect from the flight crew after de/anti-icing
and prior to aircraft departure.
"NATA's Safety 1st developed this online de/anti-icing module in
response to our members who have asked for general aviation
specific training to fulfill their winter weather needs," said NATA
Director of Safety and Training Amy Koranda. "In the past, our
members have turned to de/anti-icing training suited for the
airlines and it just doesn't fit the bill for our industry."
"At NATA, Safety 1st is not just a name, it is a mission. We
continue to set the industry standard in safety by developing
convenient, cost effective training in best practices and
procedures specific to our members' needs," added NATA President
James K. Coyne.
NATA's Safety 1st online training such as this de/anti-icing
module is comprehensive - everything needed to train, test and
track line specialists is included in convenient online modules.
