Course Description:

Global regulatory authorities such as the Federal Aviation Administration, Transport Canada, the European Aviation Safety Agency and the International Civil Aviation Organization recognize and reference SAE International’s Global Deicing Standards, which promote the use of common deicing processes to improve safety. 

The Global Ground Deicing Training Program has been developed by SureConsult and JBA Aviation and is a generic aircraft ground deicing training program based on the following SAE Global Deicing Standards:

  • SAE AS6285D: Aircraft Ground Deicing/Anti-Icing Processes;
  • SAE AS6285B: Aircraft Ground Deicing/Anti-Icing Training and Qualification Program; and
  • SAE AS6332A: Aircraft Ground Deicing/Anti-icing Quality Management.
     

The Global Ground Deicing Training Program will:

  • Provide an update of the current SAE Global Deicing Standards and requirements; and
  • Provide a refresher of basic ground deicing best practices and winter operating elements as based on the SAE Global Deicing Standards.
