    NTSB BAC 100224 Probable Cause

    Uploaded by

    The deicing boom of a truck struck the empennage of a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 jet airplane during deicing operations prior to departure from Chicago Executive Airport. The deicing operator did not maintain proper clearance between the boom and airplane as required by the fixed base operator's procedures. There was no supervisor specifically overseeing the deicing operation, though supervisors were on duty, and the procedures did not require supervisor oversight of deicing. The NTSB determined the probable cause was the deicing operator not adhering to clearance procedures during the operation.

    Airplane

    According to the pilot, their executive jet airplane was undergoing deicing operations following their taxi to a run up pad near runway
    34 and taxiway kilo, in preparation for departure. As the deicing truck was conducting the procedure, the vehicle's boom struck the
    airplane's empennage causing substantial damage. The fixed base operator’s [FBO] deicing/anti-icing training guidebook states that the
    driver should “always know where the boom and bucket are located.” There were supervisors on duty at the airport during the deicing
    operation; however, no supervisor was specifically overseeing the deicing operation. The FBO’s training guidebook did not require that a
    supervisor oversee deicing operations.
