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.

DP	Location	max. Usage
DP1	west of runway 18	Code E + B748
DP2C	west of runway 18	Code E + B748
DP2E / DP2W	west of runway 18	Code C (B739/A321)
DP3E / DP3W	N7 blue/orange - facing north (!)	Code C (B739/A321)
DP4E / DP4W	V159 / V161	max. 2 engined heavies
DP5	G16A	not used

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. 

De-Icing Apron

De-Icing Apron is only responsible for traffic sequencing planned on DP1 and DP2 as well as the Apron area N-North/P1 (incl. F231 - F238 and V266 - V270). 

Inbounds and traffic for the pads is handed over from West Apron free off conflicts short of N15/N. Outbounds for DP1 and DP2 will not cross runway 18, they always have to use N-North/P1! Outbounds on the positions in this area are handed over from Delivery direct to de-icing Apron. 

Outbounds from DP1 are send by Apron to W1 (18 departure) or W3 (07 departure for crossing runway 18).
