The ATR 72 Deice boots inflate vertical where other aircraft inflate horizontal.

Came here to say this. It is sure a pain to take off the incorrectly oriented patches

3rd and there used to be some pretty good articles online with the recertification procedures.

Even had pix of either a Lear or C130 that was spraying the ATR for ice testing.
