YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA tragic business jet crash in Bangor, Maine has raised serious questions about de-icing procedures, holdover times, and how quickly conditions can change in winter operations.
In this episode, Captain Steeeve breaks down the NTSB preliminary report on the Challenger 650 crash shortly after takeoff from Bangor International Airport. Using his decades of airline experience, he explains what holdover time means, how de-icing fluid works, and why waiting too long after de-icing can allow ice and snow to contaminate an aircraft’s wings.
The preliminary report indicates the aircraft may have waited longer than the recommended holdover time before takeoff during active snowfall. Captain Steeeve explains how even a thin layer of contamination on the wings can dramatically affect lift during takeoff — and why winter operations demand precise timing and constant situational awareness.
