Approved Surface Contamination Course

Aim

The effects of ice on an aeroplane are wide-ranging, unpredictable, and potentially extremely dangerous. Aircraft are designed to fly free of surface contemination, especially during low-energy flight phases. This is a Transport Canada-recognized* Surface Contamination Initial and Recurrent Training Program. Required for all operations personnel to ensure they are aware of hazards and procedures for ice, frost and snow critical contamination on aircraft.
