will be accomplished prior to towing aircraft through FOD noncritical areas to ensure damage does not occur to aircraft. 4.4.1.9.3. (Added-AFSC) FOD walks shall be conducted in such a fashion as to ensure the removal of debris from aircraft, facilities, and support equipment. An area that has undergone a FOD walk shall be left in a FOD-free condition. FOD walks shall not be limited in scope to allow FOs or debris to remain within an area where a FOD walk has been conducted (e.g., omitting the aircraft or focusing exclusively on support equipment). 4.4.1.10. Standardized procedure to obtain FOD incident reports from tenant organizations. 4.4.1.11. FOD discovered during Depot/Functional Flight Test. 4.4.1.11.1. (Added-AFSC) In addition to the initial reporting procedures, the ALC FOD monitor
. In the event that the 375 AMW FOD walk is not completed, the 932 AW FOD/DOP Monitor will ensure a FOD walk is performed on the 932 AW assigned parking spots. 11.8.3.12.4. (Added) Flight decks will be checked by the ground crew for foreign objects prior to and after each flight. Aircrew members are responsible for keeping their areas free of foreign objects between and after their flight. 11.8.6. FOD Investigation and Reporting. 11.8.6.1.2. (Added) When a suspected or confirmed Foreign Object Damage (FOD) on aircraft or equipment is discovered the Production Office and/or shift supervisor will be notified. 11.8.6.1.3. (Added) The wing FOD monitor, or QA representative, will investigate the incident and determine if the damage was caused by a Foreign Object (FO). If the damage is determine

All grounding points will be kept clean of debris at all times and should be a high interest item for FOD walks. 2.2.4. FOD walks will be accomplished during daylight hours. 2.3. Tool and Equipment Management. 2.3.1. Tools, equipment, and other items left unattended in, on, or around aircraft or other aerospace equipment pose a potential source of FOD and therefore are required to be adequately controlled and accounted for. The Tool and Equipment Management Program objective is to prevent and eliminate FOD to aircraft, engines, missiles, training and suppor

After a high-wind event, supervisors will inspect their AORs for security of aircraft; aircraft plugs/covers/streamers and other dash 21 equipment (down gear); gather debris which may have been blown into the area; determine if a FOD walk or sweeper truck is required to clean the area. 13.4.11.1.5. (Added) A FOD walk of the end-of-runway inspection area will be conducted by the unit using it prior to the first scheduled flight for that unit each day. 13.4.11.1.6. (Added) For all other designated FO critical areas, not designated as airfield/flight line AORs, FOD walks will be conducted weekly (at a minim
Repair, for detailed descriptions of the damage repair processes that follow. 1.7.1.1. Debris Removal. This process clears debris at least 15 feet from around each crater to allow subsequent processes to proceed. After debris is removed from around each crater, it is then pushed at least 30 feet from the edge of the MAOS. 1.7.1.2. Upheaval Determination and Marking. The explosion from munitions hitting the runway creates upheaved pavement around the crater. Upheaved pavement is not always visible to the eye; therefore, upheaval determination is accomplished through crater profile measurements (CPM) to ensure all damaged pavement is identified and removed. Unremoved upheaval will most likely fail under traffic and create foreign object debris (FOD) hazards. Conversely, removing more pavemen

The aircraft commander will designate a minimum of two crewmembers to perform a foreign object damage (FOD) walk prior to engine start for each sortie. 5.7.2. The FOD walk will cover the area from the engine intakes to taxiway centerline. 5.7.3. FOD checks will include the grated area underneath the parked aircraft. 5.7.4. FOD checks will also include a thorough inspection inside and forward of the engine inlets looking for loose and/or missing fasteners. Immediately report any loose or missing fasteners, or any other anomaly which could possibly result in FOD, to the maintenance flight line production supervisor. 5.
nd create foreign object debris (FOD) hazards. Conversely, removing more pavement than necessary increases repair times and uses more repair material than necessary, possibly depleting repair material before all repairs are complete. Identify extent of upheaval as described in T.O. 35E2-5-1 for craters with an apparent size of 20 feet in diameter or larger, except marks should form square or rectangle pavement cut marks. Use procedures in AFTTP 3-32.17 when apparent crater size is less than 20 feet in diameter. 1.7.1.3. Pavement Cutting. In regards to time, pavement cutting is the most critical step in the repair process. Two compact track loaders with wheel saw attachments cut pavement around craters by following the marks created during the upheaval marking process. The conventional walk
