GM Guidance material

## GM1 ADR-DSN.G.380 Location

(a) The de-icing/anti-icing facilities should be so located as to ensure that the [holdover time](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/holdover-time) of the anti-icing treatment is still in effect at the end of taxiing, and when take-off clearance of the treated [aeroplane](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aeroplane) is given.

(b) To further maximise departure flow rates for all aeroplanes, the location and size of de-icing/anti-icing facilities should be such that they allow for bypass taxiing during de-icing/anti-icing operations. Additional guidance is given in ICAO Doc 9640, Manual of [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) ground de-icing/anti-icing operations, paragraph 8.5(e).

(c) Remote de-icing/anti-icing facilities located near departure [runway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/runway) ends or along taxiways are recommended when taxi times from terminals or off-terminal de-icing/anti-icing locations frequently exceed holdover times.

(d) Remote facilities compensate for changing weather conditions when icing conditions or blowing snow are expected to occur along the taxi-route taken by the aeroplane to the runway meant for take-off.

(e) The remote de-icing/anti-icing facilities should be so located as to provide for an expeditious traffic flow, perhaps with a bypass configuration, and not require unusual taxiing manoeuvre into and out of the pads.

(f) The jet blast effects caused by a moving aeroplane on other aeroplanes receiving the anti-icing treatment or taxiing behind should have to be taken into account to prevent degradation of the treatment.
