Q400 passenger aircraft is inflated with air, producing ridges to crack and dislodge any accumulated ice. A deicing boot is a type of ice protection system installed on aircraft surfaces to permit a mechanical deicing in flight. Such boots are generally installed on the leading edges of wings and control surfaces (e.g. horizontal and vertical stabilizer) as these areas are most likely to accumulate ice which could severely affect the aircraft's performance.
