12-30-01 Removal of Snow and Ice
After snowfall, the snow should be removed immediately
from surface of the aircraft. Otherwise the water formed
from melted snow will freeze on the surface or in slots and
gaps of fairings.
C A U T I O N Do not use sharp tools for removing the snow.
If the aircraft shows sign of ice formation, it is recom-
mended to defrost in a room. Remove as much snow as
possible with a soft bristle boom, make sure the wheels and
brakes are clear, and tow the aircraft into a room with
elevated temperature. This method is particularly desir-
able, since it will melt any undetected ice and snow that
could constitute a flight hazard.
