This Aerospace Recommended Practice covers various requirements for Airport runway deicers, to be used with various carrier vehicles primarily used to treat the runway surface with an even coating of deicer fluids. It does not apply to non-airport snow and ice removal equipment such as highway plows or construction/farm machinery.

The scope is to describe a vehicle mounted, high velocity and volume air blower machine for use is clearing snow, debris, or surface contamination from pavements or ground located obstructions.

Portable and Stationary Snowmelters with a melting capacity ranging from 20 to 500 tons of snow per hour. The Portable Snowmelters operate on diesel or Jet A fuel, the Stationary Snowmelters operate on natural gas, diesel or Jet A fuel.

This equipment specification covers requirements for Multi-Tasking Equipment (MTE) for airfield snow removal purposes. The unit shall include a combination of a carrier vehicle, snow plow, rotary broom and high velocity air blast system. This vehicle as a unit shall be an integrated snow plow, rotary broom and high velocity air blast. Primary application is for the high-speed plowing, sweeping and cleaning of ice and snow from airfield operational areas such as runways, taxiways and ramp aprons. The term carrier vehicle represents the various self-propelled prime movers that provide the motive power necessary to move snow and ice control equipment during winter operations. The airport operator may require this specified piece of equipment in order to maintain the airfield during large and small snow events. When necessary, the MTE shall be a central and critical element in the winter pavement maintenance fleet in the effort to accomplish the airport’s published snow plan.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers specification requirements for a rotary plow with carrier vehicle. The primary use is to cast heavy concentrations of snow approximately perpendicular to carrier vehicles across and away from airport operational areas, such as runways and taxiways. Rotary plows equipped with spot casting, or loading chutes are also used to cast snow in directions through approximately 100 degrees to the left or right of directly in front of the carrier vehicle, and also to load trucks or trailers used to haul snow away from removal area. The term “carrier vehicle” represents the various self-propelled prime movers that provide the power necessary to move snow and ice control equipment during winter operations.
