本设备规范涵盖了机场除雪用多任务设备（MTE）的要求。该装置应包括运载工具、除雪器、旋转扫帚和高速气流系统的组合。该车辆作为一个整体应为集成式除雪器、旋转扫帚和高速气流。主要应用于机场运行区域（如跑道、滑行道和停机坪）的高速铲雪、清扫和清理。“运载工具”一词代表各种自行式原动机，这些原动机在冬季运行期间提供移动冰雪控制设备所需的动力。 机场运营商可能需要该指定设备，以便在大雪和小雪期间维护机场。必要时，MTE应是冬季路面维护团队的核心和关键要素，以完成机场公布的降雪计划。本ARP定义了被归类为MTE的车辆的最低功能，特别是作为一个集成的除雪除冰系统，能够同时执行多个功能，不需要超过一名操作员。MTE可用于执行额外的路面维护任务，如de- 冰或防冰、橡胶去除、FOD清扫或其他。如果需要其他功能，机场运营商必须将其定义为MTE规范的一部分。机场运营商可增加或删除本规范的任何项目，以满足其要求，前提是在安全方面不存在任何妥协。

This equipment specification covers requirements for Multi-Tasking Equipment (MTE) for airfield snow removal purposes. The unit shall include a combination of a carrier vehicle, snow plow, rotary broom and high velocity air blast system.This vehicle as a unit shall be an integrated snow plow, rotary broom and high velocity air blast. Primary application is for the high-speed plowing, sweeping and cleaning of ice and snow from airfield operational areas such as runways, taxiways and ramp aprons.The term carrier vehicle represents the various self-propelled prime movers that provide the motive power necessary to move snow and ice control equipment during winter operations.The airport operator may require this specified piece of equipment in order to maintain the airfield during large and small snow events. When necessary, the MTE shall be a central and critical element in the winter pavement maintenance fleet in the effort to accomplish the airport’s published snow plan.This ARP defines the minimum functionality for a vehicle to be classified as an MTE, specifically as an integrated snow and ice removal system capable of performing multiple and simultaneous functions requiring no more than one operator. MTEs may be utilized to perform additional pavement maintenance tasks such as de-ice or anti-ice, rubber removal, FOD sweeping, or others. If additional features are required, they must be defined by the airport operator as part of their MTE specification. The airport operator may add to or delete from any item of this specification to meet its requirements providing there is no compromise in safety.
