PAGE 0-6 DEFINITIONS
Freezing drizzle -fairly uniform precipitation composed exclusively of fine drops (less than 0.5 mm) very close together which freezes upon impact with the ground or other exposed objects.
Freezing fog -a suspension of many minute water droplets which freeze upon impact with ground or other exposed objects, generally reducing the horizontal visibility at the earth’s surface to less than 1 km.
Frost/hoar frost -ice crystals that form from ice saturated air at temperatures below 0 C by direct sublimation on the ground or other exposed objects.
Ground icing conditions -with due regard to aircraft skin temperature and weather conditions, ground icing conditions exist when frost, ice or snow is adhering or is likely to adhere to the critical surfaces of an aircraft.
Ground icing operations program -consists of a set of procedures, guidelines and processes, documented in manuals that ensures that an operator’s aircraft does not depart with frost, ice or snow adhering to critical surfaces.
Hail -precipitation of small balls or pieces of ice with a diameter ranging from 5 to 50 mm falling either separately or agglomerated.
Holdover time (HOT)-is the estimated time that an application of de-icing/anti-icing fluid is effective in preventing frost, ice or snow from adhering to treated surfaces. Holdover time is calculated as beginning at the start of the final application of de-icing /anti-icing fluid and as expiring when the fluid is no longer effective.
