Aircraft De.icing
Can anybody give me a rough idea on how many ltrs of de.ice fluid it would take to do wings and body on a AB330 in falling snow at -1 degrees........as i asked how much was put on an aircraft last night.....i was told just over 320 ltrs.
I cant think that with such a small amount the job was done correctly....as only mins before i had been in a de.ice rig putting between 700 and 800 ltrs on AB 320S wings and tail......in the same conditions.
There must be an amount that sounds correct for type of aircraft sprayed...give or take a few ltrs....but to me...320 did not seem enough....Glad i was not flying on it.
The engineer who signed it off said "Fluid is expensive stuff".....i said so is losing a plane!!!!
