Benefit: Increased Safety of Flight Operations
The safety of flight operations in winter operating conditions is the primary concern of all industry stakeholders. To this end, the global industry has developed and implemented extensive procedures and infrastructure to confront the challenges presented by winter operations.
The Dan-Ice Deicing Information System (DIIS) is an advanced deicing optimization tool, and has been designed to provide flight crews with the most up-to-date, scientifically-generated and precise weather and deicing-related information possible.
The system outputs can result in significantly improved decisions by flight crews that will impact the safety of flight operations in winter precipitation conditions.

Benefit: Reduced Environmental Impact
One of the negative elements of the current use of glycol-based deicing and anti-icing is the environmental impact of the fluids on airport sites and receiving waters. In recent years, environmental regulations have become more stringent and it is anticipated that environmental controls and restrictions will become even more widespread in the years to come.
Use of the the Dan-Ice Deicing Information System (DIIS) at airport sites can result in numerous environmental enhancements, including a significant reduction in the amount of glycol sprayed on aircraft.
Benefit: Improved Operational Efficiency
The de/anti-icing fluid holdover time tables developed and published by Transport Canada and the Federal Aviation Administration have been incredible tools in the safety of global flight operations over the past two decades. The quality of the fluids and of the fluid performance data in tables have improved consistently over the years, however the paper format of the holdover time tables is now the limiting factor in the expansion of the operational usage of the information employed in the development of the tables.
Use of the Dan-Ice Deicing Information System (DIIS) to compute de/anti-icing fluid holdover times at airport sites would result in significant improvements to airport and air carrier efficiency.
Benefit: Cost Savings
Flight crews have relied historically on paper holdover time tables, METAR weather reports and visibility tables to make deicing and anti-icing fluid holdover time decisions that are critical to the safety of operation of their aircraft.
The Dan-Ice Deicing Information System (DIIS) is the world’s most advanced holdover time determination system. The patented system provides pilots with updated deicing and anti-icing fluid holdover time data in the flight deck based on the latest measured weather at the airport. The system supports more informed and optimized deicing decision-making by flight crews, resulting in significant and quantifiable cost savings to the end users of the system.
