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