Leading Edge Anti-icing Application Tool Saves Time and Money
A new anti-icing tool from training provider Leading Edge Deicing Specialists equips operators to apply their own anti-icing fluid.

In an effort to help corporate jet operators save money on anti-icing fluid treatment and cut down on wasted fluid application, Walter Randa, founder of Leading Edge Deicing Specialists, has developed a new Type IV anti-ice spray system.

Operators pay thousands of dollars for a deicing followed by an anti-ice treatment, Randa explained. Typically, the Type I deicing fluid is applied by trucks with huge nozzles that pump 2,000 to 3,000 gallons a minute, followed by application of the Type IV anti-icing fluid, which is designed to protect the aircraft for up to an hour before takeoff.
