SAE G-12 Committee, Aircraft Ground Deicing

CDS is a member of the SAE G-12 Steering Committee and Co-Chair of the Equipment Group. Dave Thornton, VP of Operations for CDS heads up a committee that is responsible for the oversight for the development, procedures and approval for the use of Forced Air, Large Deicer Specifications (to include one man operation) and introductions of any new manufacturer of equipment.

Overview

The SAE G-12 Aircraft Ground Deicing committee addresses all facets of aircraft ground deicing equipment / design, maintenance, operation, and in-service experience. It provides a focal point for the related activities of the various specialty groups and committees dealing with aircraft ground deicing. The group is comprised of eight subcommittees dedicated to creating, preparing, and maintaining all relevant specifications, standards, and requirements for aircraft ground deicing systems.

These committees include:

G-12DF Deicing Facilities
G-12HOT Hold-over Testing
G-12M Methods
G-12F Fluids
G-12E Equipment
G-12ID Ice Detection
G-12T Training
G-12FG Future Deicing

Participants in the SAE G-12 committee include OEMs, suppliers, aircraft ground deicing equipment companies, consulting firms, government and others across the aerospace and defense industries.

SAE G-12 serves as the focal point for all ground de-icing related activities within SAE. G-12 reports directly to the SAE Aerospace General Projects Division (under the SAE Aerospace Council). G-12 provides support and assistance and maintains the responsibility for coordinating projects that cross SAE committee charter boundaries and assure that all aspects of ground deicing are addressed. 

The project work and preparation of documents is handled by the following G-12 Committees:

  • Providing support and assistance to other industry groups and standardization organizations in aircraft ground deicing related activities.
  • Developing and disseminating documentation deemed necessary for a thorough understanding and implementation of guidelines, policies and procedures reflecting most recent technology for aircraft ground deicing.
  • Promoting safety in the aircraft ground deicing field.
  • Defining and encouraging research and development that is necessary for the advancement of technology.
