PS, The Preventative Maintenance Monthly
ISSUE 672
NOVEMBER 2008
Foreign Object Damage is a preventable
problem if you pay attention and look for the
things that cause it. You’re playing a game of
Russian roulette if you assume someone else has
already looked for foreign objects and debris.
We’ve all heard of incidents in which
instruments have been left behind in a
patient’s body after an operation. Maintenance
personnel “operate” on aircraft, too, and they
can leave tools behind!
Forgotten items left in the wrong place—
such as pens, pencils, paperclips, safety wire
and tools—can make for one sick bird.
The rule is if you drop something—whether
it’s a nut, bolt, tool or shop towel—PICK IT
UP! If you can’t locate an item you used
while
performing
maintenance,
FIND
IT.
Become a 100% FOD ±nder before you button up
the bird.
