t-hangar and ice
In preparation for winter, I have a question. the situation: T-hangar with bi-fold doors. Run-off from the roof collects in front of the hangar door (because the tarmac doesn't slope away from the hangar - in fact there is a slight dip in front of the hangar). In the winter, water collects and then freezes. Eventually the water penetrates under the door and freezes inside the hangar. The result is a patch of ice about 4 to 6 feet wide, about half inside and half outside the door. (imagine walking into a dark hangar and having black ice just inside the door - weeeeee!!! splat!) The best that Massport has come up with to date is to leave the door slightly up so that the door won't freeze to the ground. This does nothing with respect to being able to push/pull the airplane in/out of the hangar. Are there any suggestions on how to deal with ice in front of the door? -- Bob Noel Seen on Kerry's campaign airplane: "the real deal" oh yeah baby. |
