App Description

**CONTENT IN THIS APP IS NO LONGER VALID. PLEASE PURCHASE THE 2014-15 HOTs App: www.itunes.com/apps/201415HOTs.**

This app provides the 2013-14 aircraft ground de/anti-icing fluid holdover times (HOTs) and related guidance as published by Transport Canada, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Association of European Airlines (AEA).

The app has two functionalities: the PDF viewer allows navigation of HOT guidance documents in individual PDF files (i.e. HOT tables, visibility table, LOUTs); and the HOT calculator calculates HOTs for current conditions based on weather and fluid information entered by the user.

Other Features:

• HOT CLOCK: Shows time elapsed since fluid application; progress bar and traffic light indicate status of HOT.

• GUIDANCE MATERIALS: App contains related HOT guidance materials, i.e. ice pellets allowance times, fluid application tables, visibility table, and related regulatory documents (Transport Canada TP 14052E, FAA N8900.196, AEA Recommendations for De-Icing/Anti-Icing Aeroplanes on the Ground).

• LOUTs: The holdover time calculator incorporates lowest operational use temperatures (LOUTs) for Type II, III and IV fluids as provided by FAA and Transport Canada.

• NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED: The app stores all data on your device so a connection to the internet is not required to use the app.

Developed by APS Aviation Inc., the company responsible for developing and managing the holdover time table data on behalf of Transport Canada and the FAA for the last two decades.

This app can be customized for individual operator/airline use. Contact us for more information.
