De-Icing/Anti-Icing
Question for those experienced in getting de-iced. In a two-step process for ground de-icing/anti-icing most training recommends that anti-icing fluids be applied within 3 minutes of de-icing. Since it usually take more than 3 minutes to de-ice an entire aircraft how is this possible?

Yes, first application.
Obviously its preferable to find a way to shorten the time between that first application and the end of the treatment, but to do so and respect the 3 minute rule would require extra spray units which might not be available.
