Bluesky Aircraft De-Icing Training - (Operational & Instructor)

Our Bluesky Aircraft De-Icing training will provide participants with a full understanding of de-icing and anti-icing procedures, fluids, equipment, and safety protocols, essential for reducing operational risks associated with winter weather conditions.

We offer two tailored versions of our de-icing training, both consisting of a balanced mix of online and site-based learning.

Aircraft De-Icing Training (Operational Staff)

  • Equips ground crew, maintenance technicians, and other personnel with the essential knowledge and skills to perform de-icing and anti-icing procedures effectively and safely.

Aircraft De-Icing Training (Instructors)

  • Training others in de-icing procedures, ensuring consistent and high-quality instruction within your organisation.

What Will You Learn in Our De-Icing Training Courses?

Critical for safe operation of aircraft in winter conditions, our Aircraft de-icing and anti-icing courses provides a comprehensive overview of de-icing fluids, equipment, procedures, and safety protocols, providing the necessary knowledge to ensure aircraft are adequately protected from hazards associated with ice and snow accumulation.

Key concepts covered across both courses include:

  • The physics of ice formation, its impact on aircraft performance, and the principles of de-icing and anti-icing.
  • The different types of de-icing and anti-icing fluids, their properties, and proper application techniques.
  • Skills in operating de-icing equipment, including trucks, sprayers, and monitoring systems.
  • Safety procedures and protocols to mitigate risks during de-icing operations.
  • Confidently apply de-icing knowledge to real-world scenarios, ensuring safe and efficient aircraft departures during winter conditions.

The Operational Staff Course has an emphasis on practical application of de-icing procedures, equipment operation, and safety protocols.

The Instructor Course covers the same foundational topics, but with an emphasis on instructional techniques, assessment methods, and the development of training programs for de-icing personnel.
