METHODS OF MONITORING OF AIRPORT AND AIRCRAFT DE-ICING MATERIALS

Dagmara Kocaiová, Ján Kolesár

Abstract


The aim of this article is to describe the different types of icing that affect the aviation safety. The article deals with the de-icing materials which are used to de-ice aircraft and airport movement areas. Because all of this de-icing materials may pose a threat to the environment after application, monitoring of their constituents in the waste water is gradually introduced at all airports. The implementation of monitoring of de-icing materials at the airports lies primarily in determining the required parameters, which are necessary to monitor. Once the desired parameters is selected, they must choose the types of monitoring systems and choose the methods by which the various parameters of de-icing materials are monitored. In order to implement monitoring at the airports, it is necessary to know the whole process of implementation of monitoring systems.
