Physical and cognitive ergonomic of aircraft de-icing on ground and in-fligh

The de-icing of aircraft wings is done on ground by specialised technicians highly constrained in time and in-flight by the pilots who activate the de-icing system.

Many incidents occurred in the past because of communication problems. Typically, incidents occur when aircrafts collide with workers or de-icing trucks. The aim of the research project is to study the communications between the pilot and the de-icing workers and to propose possible improvement.
