Description:
CZ 06 019 EN
On 26 January 2006 AAII received from Air Accident Investigation Unit of Ireland (AAIU) a report of the serious incident of an Air Contractors ATR 42-300 aircraft. The pilot of the airplane, which was on ABR 7020 flight from Prague – Ruzyně Airport (LKPR) to Paris Roissy – Charles de Gaulle (LFPG) had requested on 24 January 2006 before departure from LKPR that the plane be de-iced by Menzies Aviation (Czech) Ltd. After de-icing, as the plane waited at the r/w holding point, ATC was called and the agent of the handling company informed the pilot in command (PIC) that a malfunction of the de-icing device had been detected and asked him to return to the ramp for new de-icing. At the ramp ome ice was found on the de-iced parts of the plane. Using another de-icing rig the plane was de-iced again and then departed safely.
