ISO Type 1 Fluid (Unthickened) SAE AMS 1424B

This fluid has a high glycol content (50/50) and low viscosity. Deicing performance of the fluid is good. However, due to low viscosity, it provides limited anti-icing protection during freezing precipitation.

ISO Type II Fluid (Thickened) SAE AMS 1428C

This fluid has a lower glycol content than Type I fluid due to the inclusion of a pseudo plastic thickening agent. This means that when applied to the surface of an aeroplane the viscosity is high, thus allowing the fluid to remain on and protect against freezing precipitation for a period of time.

These are the main 2 used C9, type 1 is 50/50 glycol & water, I’m not sure of the content of type II as I’ve never had to use it yet. (there’s always a first). But I think it’s 50/50 as well (50% water, 50% the other 2)
Glycol is non-corrosive, for continued use in winter operations this would certainly have to be the case.

Hope this helps

Need to post these in the screenshot thread #3, you can find it by “displaying posts from the beginning”, which is in the options on the bottom left hand side of the screenshots forum index[/color] 😉

Very true Paul.

I guess there are no hard and fast rules to any of this because each case will have different circumstances, whether or not there is a good outcome is down to a whole lot of luck I guess.

I think you’re right, water seems more comforting than the ground, personally I’d head for the beach, preferably not a packed Bournemouth beach in the middle of summer though 😉

Chopper does a bit of air safety in this video. !!Warning!! – contains bad language from the start, (the F word) please don’t view if you’re easily offended 😀

You need to be a little more specific also, when you say you end up displaced to the right is this on every approach you do? Or a specific airport? Do you always approach the Localiser from the right or left? Does it recapture the centreline as it settles down? How many degrees intercept are you giving yourself?

Then there’s no logical reason why it shouldn’t capture.
Try it again, and before you reach your selected altitude press “print screen” and paste it into MS Paint or equivalent, save it as a jpg and post the screenshot in here

Sam I assume you have the autopilot engaged and the flight director selected?

And you clearly have no respect or regard for other people’s views or feelings, JUST because they don’t match yours.
