RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE GH ORGANISATION PROVIDING DEāICING/ANTIāICING SERVICES
(a) The GH organisation providing deāicing/antiāicing services should develop, implement and maintain a deāicing/antiāicing programme compliant with the industry standards referred to in AMC1Ā GH.OPS.335.
(b) The GH organisation is responsible for the following:
(1) ensure that quality control processes and procedures for deāicing/antiāicing are applied and maintained for continued operational safety;
(2) adhere to the aircraft operatorās procedures regarding the deāicing/antiāicing treatment of the aeroplane;
(3) adhere to the aerodrome operatorās standards and procedures related to safety and operability of the designated deāicing/antiāicing facilities or areas;
(4) ensure that all personnel are effectively trained and qualified to coordinate, supervise and execute the deāicing/antiāicing treatments, and are familiar with, and apply the operational procedures as per the GH organisationās manual, the aircraft operator procedures specific to the aircraft type, and local aerodrome procedures;
(5) ensure that sufficient competent personnel, adequate facilities equipment and deāicing/antiāicing fluids are available;
(6) use deāicing/antiāicing fluids that are acceptable to the aircraft operator and are within the limits specified by the fluid manufacturer;
(7) establish a communications process that ensures clear, concise and onātime communication for all deāicing/antiāicing operations, including with other organisations involved in the deāicing process (e.g. air traffic control, other GH organisations personnel, aircraft operator). For deāicing/antiāicing at remote pads, communication between the de-icing operator responsible for the operation and the flight crew should be established before beginning the deāicing/antiāicing process and continually maintained during the entire process, until the deāicing/antiāicing is completed and the aircraft departs from the deāicing area;
(8) maintain an environmentally responsible deāicing operations programme;
(9) liaise with the aerodrome operator on the procedures applicable to it as aerodrome user by attending meetings and communicating regularly.
Ground handling organisations must implement a compliant de-icing/anti-icing programme, ensure trained personnel, adequate resources, acceptable fluids, clear communication, and environmental responsibility, while liaise
