Airport Ramp Sweeping for FOD Control
|
Foreign Object Damage (FOD) has been part of accidents and unscheduled maintenance reports since the earliest days of flight.
FOD includes everything from pavement fragments, catering supplies, building materials, rocks, sand, pens, coins, badges, hats, paper clips, trash, and even wildlife. Anything that can find its way into an aircraft engine or flight control mechanisms is a recipe for foreign object damage.
FOD damage can result in anything from minor repairs to catastrophic events and it is estimated that annually the cost of FOD to the global aerospace industry is $4 billion. These dollars are spent largely repairing aircraft engine damage caused by the ingestion of foreign objects from runways.
