What no De-ice Anti-Ice trucks in AMS. I find that hard to believe

[Valkenier11]

@bryanb16th De-icing happens at an other platform.You cannot see from this point of view.

[Remarkibus]

Yes...love that one too...{MD-11}....I watch 'em launch every day with UPS...Very regal looking, and love the winglets...

[Valkenier11]

@Remarkibus We do have also a paradise of the MD11's at Amsterdam.

15 pieces of KML,Saudi Arabian Cargo,a lot of Martinair Cargo,World Cargo,Lufthansa Cargo,Centurion Cargo with a fantastic colourscene and some more.

Wow..that's awesome! Great sacrifice standing in the wx, but it was worth it.....Ahh..Houston...16 year former employee of Co...that's where I got my start, now the merger...hope they continue on strong!

[Valkenier11]

@Remarkibus Okay,I still have to make my first trip to the States. I guess to do it by the KLM MD11 next period. The will be phased out next two years. And she's ,next to the B747,my big favo!! I have to fly once with the MD11

@Remarkibus

Fuselage doesn't generate lift. Wings generate lift. Wings = critical. Fuselage = not critical.

@bryanb16th

The amount of weight in question is negligible and would soon be rendered a non issue while rolling down the tarmac at a buck twenty.

@bryanb16th Snow itself is removed by travel speed during takeoff roll and just after lift off, If the aircraft was deemed to have been too icy they would have taken care of the ice. But Simply states as before, Wings Tail and Rudder are the Flight Critical surfaces, and those are what are cleaned for flight and it remains that way unless there are extenuating circumstances, HEAVY icing, or if the aircraft is a lifting body design.

back in 2003,london had severe iceing and had no deiceing eq,the lhr to ewr flight had to wait until the sun melted the ice.trip was about 4 hours late.

[bryanb16th]

@keemez Correct however, that snow and ice still add weight to the aircraft and thus should be removed prior to departure.

[MyleneJ]

@Remarkibus Eh, when it comes to the 777 and most Boeing jets actually, the Fuselage is not considered a "Critical Surface" for lift. Now if it was a "lifting body" type aircraft that' be different, but the fuselage itself doesn't -require- deicing unless there is a chance of Freezing/Ice or heavy snow and you can see most if not all of that snow blew off during the takeoff roll. Now, I'll guarantee the Wings & Tail were cleaned but trust me, there was no safety issue involved here.
