SAE ARP8701

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers the general technical requirements and provides specification guidance for towable deicing vehicles/units equipped with a deicing/anti-icing fluid spraying system. The unit shall be highly maneuverable for applying deicing/anti-icing fluid onto all exterior surfaces of commercial/commuter aircraft to be treated. The unit shall also be suitable for day and night operations and shall be reliable and capable of performing deicing/anti-icing treatments satisfactorily under various precipitation (e.g., moderate snow) and icy weather conditions (e.g., outside air temperatures down to -40 °C/-40 °F) in accordance with the recommendations and instructions specified in aircraft manufacturers’ documents and the current version of AS6285. The rationale for the development of this document is to standardize the functional requirements for towable deicing vehicles/units used in regional/small airports for aircraft ground deicing/anti-icing operation.
