AMC1 ADR.OPS.B.036(b)(1)(i) Operations on specially prepared winter runways ED Decision 2021/003/R PROCEDURES FOR USE OF SAND OR GRIT The aerodrome operator, when using sand or grit, should: (a) if the runway is contaminated with compacted snow: (1) use sand or grit at an application rate appropriate to achieve the desired effect; (2) use sand or grit where the grain passes through a 4.75 mm sieve; and (3) remove as completely as possible any loose contaminants; (b) if the runway is contaminated with ice: (1) remove as completely as possible any loose contaminants; (2) use sand or grit at an application rate appropriate to achieve the desired effect; when the air temperature is stable and the surface temperature is below freezing, consider using frozen sand or grit; and (3) use sand or grit where the grain passes through a 4.75 mm sieve; (c) ensure that sand or grit maintains the required specifications until application.
