De-icing C's Office

Postby expat » Sun Jan 10, 2010 5:47 pm

These were taken with my mobile phone. It was right on the limit for taking any pictures as the light was fading fast. However the results are were not too bad. Shortly after there followed the sounds of four rabid banshees trying to escape from the pits of hell whist someone vigorously jabbed at their private parts with a branding iron ................REAL JET NOISE 8-) 8-), not the namby pamby stuff that I am used to hearing ;D ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Turbo fans may be more economical, but turbo jets make all the right noises ;D

Yeah, there's a real aircraft, that. :D

Must have been a great experience being so close to one of those, Matt!  8-)

Good afternoon all... :)

Strange how things are done differently in various parts of the world.

Here in the colony I do not think one would see de-icing in progress with a power cart still present.

Hi Matt

Yes I believe the de-icing crews here do a refresher course every year here as well.

I have seen the Aircraft APU running during de-icing but do not recall seeing a power unit still attached. 
Wonder how messy they get... ;D
