This report provides a review and update of operational, procedural, and system information regarding on-ground deicing of aircraft prior to flight. It reflects current practices of the different segments of aviation with the preponderance of information addressing the ground deiting operations and procedures employed by the airlines. Survey results presented in this report reflect the airlines' adherence to the "clean aircraft concept" as presented in Advisory Circular 20-117, and also indicates the need for a better understanding of the different types of deicing fluids and facilities currently available.
