Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Ground Ice Detection Systems
- Aerospace Standard
- AS5116B
- Revised
Scope
-
Chapter 1 provides information required to understand the need for the GIDS characteristics and tests defined in the remaining chapters. It describes typical GIDS applications and operational objectives and is the basis for the performance criteria stated in Chapter 3 through Chapter 5. Definitions essential to the proper understanding of this document are provided in Chapter 1.
-
Chapter 3 contains general design requirements for an ice detection system used during ground operations.
-
Chapter 4 contains the Minimum Operational Performance Requirements for the GIDS, defining performance under icing conditions likely to be encountered during ground operations.
-
Chapter 5 describes environmental test conditions providing laboratory means of testing the overall performance characteristics of the GIDS under conditions which may be encountered in actual operations.
-
Chapter 6 describes recommended test procedures for demonstrating compliance with Chapters 3 and 4.
-
Chapter 7 contains the Minimum Operational Performance Requirements for installed GIDS. Ground and flight tests are included when performance cannot be adequately determined through testing under standard test conditions.

Issuing Committee
G-12HOT Holdover Time Committee
The SAE G-12 Aircraft Ground Deicing committee addresses all facets of aircraft ground deicing equipment–design, maintenance, operation, and in-service experience. It provides a focal point for the related activities of the various specialty groups and committees dealing with aircraft ground deicing. The group is comprised of eight subcommittees dedicated to creating, preparing, and maintaining all relevant specifications, standards, and requirements for aircraft ground deicing systems. These committees include:
G-12ADF Aircraft Deicing Fluids
G-12DF Deicing Facilities
G-12E Equipment
G-12FG Future Deicing Technology
G-12HOT Holdover Time
G-12M Methods
G-12RDP Runway Deicing Products
G-12T Training and Quality Programs
Participants in the SAE G-12 committees include OEMs, suppliers, aircraft ground deicing equipment companies, consulting firms, government and others across the aerospace and defense industries.
