Engineers’ & Mechanics’ Awareness Course
This detailed training course equips aircraft engineers and maintenance personnel with critical knowledge and practical guidance for safe and compliant aircraft operations in cold weather conditions. Covering everything from personal safety to the theory and procedures of de-icing and anti-icing, the course supports safe flight dispatch and operational readiness in sub-zero environments.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of the course, learners will:
- Understand the effects of cold weather on aircraft structures and systems
- Recognise contamination risks including frost, snow, slush, and clear ice
- Apply key principles of the “Clean Aircraft Concept”
- Identify appropriate de-icing/anti-icing procedures and fluid types
- Interpret holdover times and assess when further de-icing is needed
- Conduct contamination checks and support safe dispatch decisions
- Follow safety protocols for working in snow, ice, and low temperatures
Course Content Highlights:
- Section 1: Cold weather risks, clean aircraft rules, regulatory guidance, and essential definitions (e.g. active frost, cold-soak, freezing fog)
- Section 2: Ground icing conditions, de-icing timing, clear ice phenomenon, fluid types and holdover calculations
- Section 3: De-icing best practices, engineer supervision, contamination checks, fluid heating, and surface-specific strategies
- Section 4: Frost/ice removal techniques, fluid application order, treatment limits, and aircraft-specific guidelines
- Section 5: Symmetry of application, fluid residue precautions, safety warnings for critical components (e.g. brakes, pitot tubes, windows)
- Section 6: Final checks, maintenance responsibility, communication with flight crew, technical log entries, and pre-take-off inspection procedures
