Air Canada Pre-Takeoff De-icing Procedures 

Wow! The Canadians are VERY well organised when it comes to de-icing. Special lanes all with traffic light and radio control. That is very impressive. Nice video! Thanks for letting us see how it all works.

Very good video with great information by both friendly pilots! Huge like!

These are the type of pilots and procedures you want to be flying with. Great job Air Canada.

Excellent crew coordination. Super deicing centre. These pilots exude calm confidence and instill such in their complimentary human assets and passengers. Professional throughout. Air Canada pilots are bad weather experts.

"That's a lot of wing to paint, eh?" Maximum Canadian.

Anyone notice the captain has an engineer ring?? Pretty cool!!

I flew with air canada many times within the USA and Canada and to Morocco many times, they are very good.

That's a lot of wing to paint eh? First Officers Rule!

Very interesting!! Good job JP =)

"...if you're happy with that." Great example of CRM implementation, guys. Respect

OK, but where do they the swipe the credit card to pay for the treatment?

My dad used to work at msy 10 years ago and they had one de icing truck that was over 25 years old. It had holes rusted in the floor.

That's a nice de-icing setup at Toronto!

06:19 De-icing, ....The caravan, which only boots in the deicing device, envies this mov clip.

Thorough professionals.

Has anyone ever felt like they missed a spot when ur on board?

I almost bought this DVD a few years ago, but I settled on LaGuardia winter ops instead. Nice to see some new additions to the footage!

great video, i appreciate seeing behind the scenes things like this, thanks! Great explanations from the flight crew too. i wonder just how many liters of anti-icing and de-icing fluids this airport goes through in a day.

Outstanding. :)

That's a lot of Type IV! If did that at my FBO the pilots would sue us, the joy of working airline instead of private I suppose.

Awesome crew! Great at communicating their needs and what they're comfortable with (CRM) as well as very professional since they knew not to push the packs on immediately. Love it.

I want to be whith your airline I want to be a pilot

Thats a lot of slip-syrup! Named that because after a previously deiced plane sits in the hanger, the DI drips out all over the place. If you step in it unknowingly you're probably going to end up on your butt! It has an important job to do but mechs hate the stuff! Course theres also TKS equipped planes, also a pain in the butt! These aircraft instead of using heated leading edges or boots have the LE's laser drilled with tiny, tiny holes that weep out an gelled alcohol/glycol fluid. Also slippery and a pain to work on.

Nice video, lots of detail 🤔

First❤❤

Videos like this!!...makes it so much comforting in flying....thanks air Canada

Canadian pilots are great.

Holy moly that's a shit ton of anti ice lol you don't need that much just a light coat

The E190 is such a great plane

So so beautiful and beautiful.. 😊

I thought I said uh a lot when I talked

That's was amazing

7:06 👀old American livery

So many "uhs"....

do they reuse the fluid on the ground

Was expecting to see that triple 7 being anti iced from the wing tip to the root and not the other way around.

Air Canada videos never fail to impress. Is the Orange deicing fluid, similar to the red or pink deicing fluid we sometimes use in the US and Northern Europe?

Great video, i am a AME and spend alot of my off work time explaining what goes on to get a plane off the ground here in the great white north. Now i do not have to explain de-iceing. Thanks Boys

The tarmac must be full of chemicals.

amazing video!! thanks for sharing!

1:31 was that air india? cuz they dont fly to YYZ

'Bay 6, contact ICEMAN" LOL

Outstanding vlog Thankyou JP smooth flights and soft landings to you 👍🛫✈️🛬🛩👌

The Green is for conditions less severe, as judged by pilot/outside temps. For very cold temps with ice build up you go fo the Orange, Pink, Light. Red, same formula. Until I could see the books I thought there was a third color and maybe a fourth. I use a former ammonia anhydrous sprayer. bought from a farmer. You crank up the 6-20 hp engine like a lawnmower, switch to spray and you’ve got all the gychol you want.

Nice de-icing lesson. Thank you.

This is probably a stupid question, but why aren't there some kind of heaters in the wings?

👍🏻

Great video and well explained procedures!!

Very impressive video.

i LOL'd when @2:11 he saidYYZ was a very well designed airport for deicing hahaha

Does the excess drain off of fluid get recycled for later use? How much does de icing cost per plane?

Fascinating!

Excellent.

Good job and perfect

Used to be one of those de-icers in Toronto. I enjoyed that job quite a bit.

Great I am a Air Canada Pilot, I fly the 777! Have a great day!

Here is a great example of CRM working like it's supposed to. Between 1940's and mid 1980's there was no such a thing as CRM and Captain's with huge ego and attitude problems caused a lot of crashes because they would intimidate their first officer so much that even if the captain was doing something wrong the first officer was to intimidated to say anything, some were so intimidated that even though they knew they were about to die they still didn't take control of the aircraft from the captain. One perfect example of that was a cargo Korean air(I forgot the flight number) 747 that crashed after takeoff, the first officer knew the captain was doing everything wrong and that they're about to die if he doesn't take control but he and the flight engineer still didn't take control from the Captain. After the crash a lot of first officers came forward and admitted that they were intimidated by that Captain, one first officer even admitted that one time during landing the Captain hit him in the head so hard that his head set fell off and all just because he wasn't performing the landing exactly the way the Captain wanted him to.

Why do all pilots sound the same.. 🤔

That’s my plane that when I was my way to Seoul

Man you guys make it look too easy basically reading off a book lol

Why post this video from like 6 years ago?

De icing is only for unexperienced pilots

How soon we forget.....anyone remember what happened approximately 18 years ago. As fascinating as all of these posted videos are.....the amount of information not just given ....but shown is Terrifying.....
