SIL Summary

This SIL provides customer guidance regarding the use of approved cleaning agents for the Aerazur deice boots installed on all Eclipse aircraft.


SIL Background

Eclipse Aerospace has received a number of inquiries regarding the acceptability of a variety of cleaning products for the deice boots. The boot manufacturer (Aerazur) has only one cleaning product (Aerazur Soap P/N 100066) that they currently authorize. No other products have been evaluated or approved. The use of unapproved products may negatively impact the boot's service life and performance.


Eclipse Action

Eclipse Aerospace recommends cleaning the Aerazur deice boots installed on all Eclipse aircraft with Aerazur soap part number 100066. This soap is the only approved product for cleaning the boots.


Suggested Operator Action

Owner/operators should always follow all applicable AMM policies and procedures relating to cleaning and servicing the aircraft.

The PBS Prep and Boot Sealant products from Jetstream Aviation Products are not approved for use with the deice boots on the Eclipse.
