FOD Alert

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) is a substance, debris or article alien to the vehicle or system which would potentially cause damage.

Foreign Object Damage is any damage attributed to a foreign object that can be expressed in physical or economic terms that may or may not degrade the product's required safety and/or performance characteristics. Typically, FOD is an aviation term used to describe debris on or around an aircraft or damage done to an aircraft.

From time to time, John Scrapper, Maintenance Manager for Paine Field, provides FOD Alerts. We will post these here in the interest of safety for all.
