Multi-Tasking Equipment (MTE) for Airfield Snow Removal High Speed, Multi-Tasking Snow Removal Unit to include Carrier Vehicle, Snow Plow, Rotary Broom High Velocity Air Blast
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 ARP defines the minimum functionality for a vehicle to be classified as an MTE, specifically as an integrated snow and ice removal system capable of performing multiple and simultaneous functions requiring no more than one operator. MTEs may be utilized to perform additional pavement maintenance tasks such as de-ice or anti-ice, rubber removal, FOD sweeping, or others. If additional features are required, they must be defined by the airport operator as part of their MTE specification. The airport operator may add to or delete from any item of this specification to meet its requirements providing there is no compromise in safety.
Rationale
This aerospace recommended practice (ARP) serves as a guideline for airports that require specialized multi-tasking equipment to meet the snow and ice removal demands as required in their airport’s published snow plan and by the FAA in AC 150/5220-30A.
In November 1999, SAE received a request from the FAA to establish a committee that would prepare industry specifications for airport snow and ice control equipment (ASICE). The FAA felt very strongly that the need exists within the international aviation community for an ASICE committee. They are seeking an enhanced process to provide the aviation industry with state-of-the-art specifications. They also see it as a vehicle to allow for rapid response to technological changes.
This request for a new Committee was reviewed and approved by the SAE Aerospace Council. The new committee is designated as G-15, Airport Snow and Ice Control Equipment. G-15 will report to the SAE Aerospace General Projects Division, which falls directly under the SAE Aerospace Council.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
