NATA's "Safety 1st" released an online De/Anti-icing Training
Module Monday which it says compliments its Professional Line
Service Training (PLST) Online Training. NATA's Safety 1st

necessary for safe aircraft departures in winter weather.
Included in the training are de/anti-icing best practices and
procedures, vivid videos and photos to help shape understanding,
resources such as current Federal Aviation Administration holdover
tables, quizzes throughout to reinforce major concepts and a final

fluids, their characteristics and their primary usage.

and prior to aircraft departure.
"NATA's Safety 1st developed this online de/anti-icing module in
response to our members who have asked for general aviation
specific training to fulfill their winter weather needs," said NATA
Director of Safety and Training Amy Koranda. "In the past, our
members have turned to de/anti-icing training suited for the
airlines and it just doesn't fit the bill for our industry."
"At NATA, Safety 1st is not just a name, it is a mission. We
continue to set the industry standard in safety by developing
convenient, cost effective training in best practices and
procedures specific to our members' needs," added NATA President
