FAQ - Aircraft De-icing

Questions: What is de-icing and why is it necessary for small airplanes?

Answer: De-icing is the process of removing ice, frost, and snow from the surfaces of an aircraft. It is essential to ensure safe flight operations by maintaining the aircraft’s aerodynamic properties and preventing ice-related malfunctions.

 Question: Can de-icing fluids damage my aircraft’s paint or components?

Answer: No, our de-icing fluids are specifically formulated to be safe for aircraft surfaces and components.

Question: How long does the de-icing process take for a small airplane?

Answer: The duration of the de-icing process can vary depending on the extent of ice accumulation and the size of the aircraft, but it typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes.

Question: Are your de-icing fluids environmentally friendly?

Answer: Yes, we offer glycol-based de-icing fluids that are designed to be effective and have minimal environmental impact.

Question: Can de-icing fluids damage my aircraft’s paint or components?

Answer: No, our de-icing fluids are specifically formulated to be safe for aircraft surfaces and components. We follow recommended application procedures to ensure there is no damage.

Question: How often should my small airplane be de-iced during winter operations?

Answer: The frequency of de-icing depends on weather conditions, but it is essential to perform de-icing before every flight if there is ice, frost, or snow accumulation.
