Which statement accurately reflects frost removal methods?

Frost removal should be done with methods that protect the aircraft’s surfaces while effectively clearing frost. The best approach is to use either approved de-icing/anti-icing fluids applied by qualified UND flight line staff or the aircraft’s own defrost and/or heating system. Both methods are acceptable and designed to remove frost without damaging the airframe. Scraping with metal tools is not allowed because it can scratch, gouge, or remove protective coatings and potentially cause structural or aerodynamic problems. So, using approved fluids by the proper personnel or relying on the aircraft’s defrost/heating system covers the proper, safe options.
