FOD Walk

Airmen from the 127th Maintenance Group perform a “FOD Walk” at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., March 28, 2012. “FOD,” or foreign object damage, is a hazard for aircraft and other precision equipment. Suction caused by the air intake of jet engines can pull objects into the aircraft and damage the engine. All Airmen who work on or around aircraft are taught from the very beginning of their aircraft career to be on the lookout for FOD. During a FOD Walk, Airmen spread out and walk along the air ramp, picking up any loose objects they see, such as small rocks, which can be transported onto the ramp in the tire treads of vehicles.
