The Clean Aircraft Concept
Operations during Ground Icing Conditions requires the following:
1) Proper Equipment
2) Certified Fluids
3) Properly Trained Staff
4) Execution with Precision
When integrated into your operation, these 4 elements will provide you with the tools necessary to depart aircraft in winter conditions... while ensuring safe operations, maintaining flexibility & managing your budget.
Leading Edge Deicing Specialists is a professional training enterprise dedicated to promoting "The Clean Aircraft Concept" by offering the
most comprehensive Ground Icing Safety training to Pilots, Maintenance personnel and Ramp crews.
The "Fly Clean, Fly Safe" program was designed to emphasize the use of
standardized aircraft de/anti-icing methods and procedures, elements which are essential in maintaining safe winter operations.
Over the last 20 years, Leading Edge seminars have been presented in the US, Canada & Europe in association with NATA, NBAA, CBAA, CQFA, Flight Safety & directly for Airlines, Corporate customers & FBO's.
Leading Edge Deicing Specialists are ready to help you Integrate the 4 Critical Elements into your Professional Flight Operation.
Mission statement - Provide corporate flight departments with the best available training, equipment, de/anti-icing fluids & procedures so they may safely dispatch their aircraft during Ground Icing conditions.
In an effort to help corporate Jet operators save money on excessive de-icing & anti-icing operations at FBO's & CDF's during winter months, Walter Randa, founder of Leading Edge Deicing Specialists, developed a new portable Aircraft Anti-icing System specifically designed for use inside hangars... it's called WING ARMOR.
Compliant with FAA's FAR 121.629, 135, 125, 91 as well as Transport Canada's CAR 622.11 training requirements, this 8 Hour program covers these topics:
Clean Aircraft Concept
Negative Effects
Critical Aircraft Surfaces
Ground Icing Conditions
De/anti-icing Fluids
Aircraft Inspections
Methods & Procedures
Visibility vs Density
Holdover Guidelines
Recognizing Fluid Failure
Specialized Training
FAA - FAR 121.629
Our customers fly everything from Jumbo jets to Military aircraft like the C-5A & C-130 Hercules... their training requirement must comply with commercial operations.
FAA - FAR 135 & 125
We cater to many FBO's and Business Jet operators that fly World-wide charters... they benefit from our knowledge of International procedures.
FAA - FAR 91
Don't compromise Flight Safety... There's no such thing as a little ice. Pilots flying from home base need a basic understanding of de/anti-icing fluids & application methods.
T/C CAR 622.11
Canadian operators including MRO's like Bombardier benefit from our "FLY CLEAN, FLY SAFE" seminars which include hands-on practice.
Sharing Knowledge
We believe in promoting Safety by sharing our knowledge with aviation schools, airport groups and even NASA.
Search & Rescue
Leading Edge Deicing Specialists provide assistance to Canadian Armed Forces for SAR simulations with their Inflatable Learjet 40XR.
