    8 mins 25 secs in – Virgin A350 (Ruby Slipper G-VDOT) is my son Daniel flying the departure to JFK. Always a proud Mum 👌

    Hi,

    I'm a deicer at Heathrow for BA and was on shift in this video…we use kilfrost type 1 (the orange stuff) on all departures and the jedi south/delta PADs…you use one man Operations with live engines running

    Jerry, have you ever streamed from the Heathrow Observation Deck? 🛫✈🛬 BTW… I too love the sound of 'prop'… brings back childhood memories 👍

    Type I is orange in color and is de-ice, Type IV is green and is anti-ice, it keeps ice/snow from sticking again for a limited amount of time. The captain is told the times when they begin applying, and when they end. It gives the flight crew time to get to the runway and take off.
    At my airport, it's still done from an open bucket with rather antiquated equipment, but it works. Just very uncomfortable for the ramper in the bucket. Which I have done, not fun.
    The engines are not sprayed.
    It depends on the amount of snow/ice, and weather. The captain tells the de-icing crew what to spray, such as a "full bath", or just "wings and tail". Full bath starts at the nose and has to be sprayed carefully so as not to get it straight on the cockpit windows. The fuselage gets sprayed on the top, and the fluid runs down. You never spray at the doors (or windows) as the aircraft is not pressurized and the fluid will leak into the interior if the jet of fluid is directed straight at the door. You work your way down and to the wings, which are sprayed leading edge and back, never trailing edge and forward, wing root to the tip (winglets). You work your way rearwards to the tail and use the same principle but start at the top of the rudder. You also have to watch sensitive instruments on the side of aircraft, such as pitot tubes, probes, etc. You don't spray directly at the APU, but it tends to get some fluid on it and will smoke a bit since it is very hot. Wings and tail is just that.
    Type I first, then repeat the whole process with Type IV. Times when you start and end each fluid must be given to the captain. The truck has a radio with a de-icing frequency so the de-icing crew and flight crew can communicate.

    don't know why this channel just captures me. Maybe the ponies in the field of excitement of the commentator.

    Planes on the runway waiting for the poniies…lol. You know those pilots are lining up and wanting to take that concord for a fly…lol

    Etihad planes are not that attractive from the outside. Lacks artistic esthetics. United artistic esthetics boring as hell

    I've been on an Icelandair Jet when it was treated at Reykjavik in December weather, that took a long time. Re de-icing old motors, does anyone remember those stick on heated elements for the back window?
