Abstract

An investigation of historical data was conducted in an attempt to assign a specific cause to each foreign object damage incident reported during an eighteen month period. Interviews were conducted with engineers and fleet maintenance personnel in support of the above research. The impact of current FOD reporting procedures, the foreign objects, the ingestion process and the operating environment are discussed. Conclusions and recommendations are included. (Author)
