EDDF - DeIcing 2501
De-Icing
At Frankfurt de-icing is done around 50% at the parking position and 50% remote on the deicing pads. For departures out of runway 18 and 07 DP1 and DP2 are primary used, while for departures out of runway 25 DP3 and DP4 are prefered if deicing on the position is not possible. Most of the pads have an east and west part, where simultanious de-icing is possible.

Outbounds on the southern apron need to use one of the pads on the northern side if deicing on the position is not possible.
A380s have to de-ice on position prior pushback!
As soon as the aircraft is on the pad the pilot need to contact the "ice house" to coordinate the deicing process and further details (no Apron duty). After de-icing the outbound needs to contact Apron again for further taxi to the holdingpoint.
Frankfurt Apron: DLH123 continue to DP2 Center, hold abeam the eyeline and contact ice house.
