Description: "Provides practical technical guidance on procedures and technologies to reduce the use of aircraft deicing and anti-icing fluids (ADAF) while maintaining safe aircraft operations across the wide range of winter weather conditions found in the United States and Canada. ... The final part of the report presents 16 fact sheets describing promising technologies and procedures from Chapter 2, singly or in combination, in the form of readily implementable best management practices. The fact sheets complement those in ACRP project 02-02, "Managing runoff from aircraft and airfield deicing and anti-icing operations," as presented in ACRP report 14: Deicing planning guidelines and practices for stormwater management systems"--Foreword.
