In terms of de-icing they’ve done a very bad job overall

De-icicle-ing*

Fair amount of ice left for the deice boots or deicing fluid.

Gotta slap the hood first and say 'she's good to go'

Totally forgot that. Almost would have crashed, thank you

The vibration would probably do a better job of deicing than whatever this berk is doing

Imagine sitting on the runway waiting to get off the plane and you're watching this person recording a video 🫪

May i ask what is the proper way of deicing a plane? I'd assume that pouring warm water onto the wings would do more bad then good to the sctructure..

u/HalkidikiAnanas 34m ago

Planes prepped for icing conditions are fitted with deicing boots--rubber bladders attached to the leading edges of the wings that are inflated in cycles to loosen ice as it forms.

If the plane doesn't have deicing boots, chemical de-icers are sprayed while the plane is on the ground.

At some point you are going to give yourself a really nasty cut with this. It sounds nice, but not crying over a cut open hand sounds even better imo. 😐
