FOD Mitigation Strategies
FOD (Foreign Object Debris) mitigation strategies are measures taken to prevent foreign objects, like tools, parts, or debris, from damaging aircraft or equipment. Strategies include strict cleaning procedures, regular inspections, secure storage of tools, and special screening processes. Design improvements, such as debris-resistant panels, and employee training are also vital to identify and eliminate foreign objects promptly. These measures help maintain safety, prevent costly repairs, and ensure smooth operations at airports and maintenance facilities.
