Since we are at the height of Capricorn season, which reigns from December 22 to January 19, we deiced to take a closer look at the major misconceptions around this oft misunderstood sign.

Charlotte Douglas International Airport stayed open and operational, but the vast majority of flights in and out of the airport were canceled on Sunday, as crews deiced planes and worked to keep the runways clear.

An antenna array cannot transmit while it is being deiced, and one reason for having two arrays was to allow one array to be deiced while the other provides crucial uninterrupted transmission capability. Repairs and adjustments to an array can also be made without interrupting transmission.

A deicing boot consists of a thick rubber membrane that is installed over the surface to be deiced. As atmospheric icing occurs and ice builds up, a pneumatic system inflates the boot with compressed air. This expansion in size cracks any ice that has accumulated, and this ice is blown away into the airflow. The boots are then deflated to return the wing or surface to its optimal shape.

Whilst parked in parking spot B6 at Verona-Villafranca Airport, snow fell continuously and the outside temperature was 0 °C. After forty-one passengers boarded Flight 166 to Romania, the pilot declined to have the plane deiced. At just past 19:30 local time, the aircraft taxied to the end of runway 23; however heavy traffic delayed the departure. When the Banat Air flight was cleared for takeoff, the outside temperature was below the freezing point.

The effect of atmospheric icing on a tree in the Black Forest of Germany. Atmospheric icing occurs in the atmosphere when water droplets freeze on objects they come in contact with. Icing conditions can be particularly dangerous to aircraft, as the built-up ice changes the aerodynamics of the flight surfaces, which can increase the risk of a stall. For this reason, on- board ice protection systems have been developed, and aircraft are often deiced prior to take-off in icy environments.

An American Airlines MD-80 aircraft being deiced at Syracuse Hancock International Airport In the years that followed the accident, airlines started using Type IV deicing fluid, which is more effective than both Type I and Type II fluids. Type IV fluids stick to aircraft for up to two hours. Chicago O'Hare International Airport was the first to introduce deicing facilities at the runway, something which has now become commonplace. Aircraft themselves now have more sophisticated deicing systems that can be used on the ground and in the air.

Continental Airlines Flight 1713 was a commercial airline flight that crashed while taking off in a snowstorm from Stapleton International Airport in Denver, Colorado on The Douglas DC-9 airliner, operated by Continental Airlines, was making a scheduled flight to Boise, Idaho. Twenty-five passengers and three crew members died in the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation of the accident determined that the most probable cause of the accident was the failure, on the part of the pilot in command, to have the aircraft deiced a second time before take- off.

He was born in Randers, and trained as a pilot in the Royal Danish Air Force and graduated from Williams Air Force Base, Arizona in 1973 (class 74-01). On 27 December 1991, he was the Captain of Scandinavian Airlines Flight 751, a McDonnell-Douglas MD-81 registered OY- KHO which crash-landed at Gottröra in Sweden. In the initial climb both engines ingested ice which had built up on the two wings, which had not been properly deiced before departure, the engines then surged. Both engines were destroyed, leaving the aircraft with no propulsion.

The report found that the flight crew were aware that the poor weather was likely to cause ice buildup, however neither of them took any action to check the condition of the wing leading edge and upper surface. The aircraft was evaluated by ground crew and was deiced. After the mechanical failure of the deicing truck, the investigators reported that, as the captain requested another deice, there was an indication he was: > ... concerned about the continuing exposure to precipitation, and the > request was prudent and in accordance with USAir guidance. Following the > second deicing, the flight crew was most likely satisfied that the airplane > was free of adhering contamination.

In a television interview, one of the NTSB investigators suggested that "the captain was faced with quite a problem. If he wanted to be deiced a third time, he would have had to get out of the line [of jets waiting to take off] and taxi all the way back to the parking area and meet up with a deicing truck again. That would have put him very, very late and it may have even caused the cancellation of the flight." The NTSB carried out tests to discover why the first officer was unable to see the ice buildup on the wing of the jet.

Aircraft deicing vehicles have also improved since the accident, usually consisting of a large tanker truck, containing the concentrated de-icing fluid, with a water feed to dilute the fluid according to the ambient temperature. The vehicle also normally has a cherry picker crane, allowing the operator to spray the entire aircraft in as little time as possible; an entire Boeing 737 can be treated in under 10 minutes by a single de-icing vehicle. Airport runways are also deiced by sprayers fitted with long spraying arms. These arms are wide enough to cross the entire runway, and allow de-icing of the entire airstrip to take place in a single pass, reducing the length of time that the runway is unavailable.

An NTSB diagram of Flight 405's attempted takeoff, showing it veer off the left of the runway and hit a water pump The aircraft took off from Jacksonville International Airport, Florida, several hours before the accident, although the departure from Jacksonville was delayed by poor weather over New York and the removal of the baggage of a passenger who decided not to board the jet. The instrument approach landing was uneventful and the jet was not significantly delayed while in the air waiting to land, however congestion on the taxiways at LaGuardia delayed the arrival of the aircraft at the gate. One hour and six minutes behind schedule, the jet arrived at Gate B1, where the pilot advised a ground mechanic that his airplane was "good to go." The flight crew then disembarked the jet to use facilities in the terminal. The poor weather did not improve as the jet was deiced with Type I fluid, a heated 50/50 water/glycol mixture.
