BOAC
As mentioned by Turin keep it simple.
Regarding training for winter operations we work off our company procedures (keeping it simple) based on AEA etc and the many customer requirements. Our annual training includes aerodynamics and videos with examples like the BHX crash a couple of years ago included in it.
In my experience it is shocking how many pilots (unlike you) are worryingly under trained on this subject. It. pilot737 or any other pilot should have this basic knowledge.
How many of you de-icers reading this have had to explain to crews why they must turn of the air-con when we de-ice?
The worse e.g. I have is pleading with a skipper to get out of the flight deck and look at the inch long ice stalactites under just one side of his wing. After a heated debate he gave us the go ahead to clear it. I am sure if he had gone that would have been a disaster.
Us idiots, who take responsibility and freeze our tits off de-icing aircraft, take onboard a moral responsibility after our experience and training. Some say we just push for company profits. This could be true but I bet it is rare?
There are people also who de-ice who are sadly chucked in the deep end with very little training.
The whole subject should be better regulated and improved or the luck one-day will run out?
BOAC that is the heated issue I think!
I probably have de-iced you i/b from Gambia?
