Airport Ramp & Runway Debris Control

What is Airport FOD

The Airport Role

The Airline Role

How is Airside FOD Generated

How to Control the FOD Problem

Conclusions


3/24

What is Airport FOD

It Can Be a Bolt, a Concrete Chip, aPiece of Paper, a Paint Can, a Hat, aPassenger, Tire Tread....


4/24

FOD at the Gate

Safety Wire

Catering Supplies

Nails

Stones

Plastic

Baggage Pieces


5/24

Impacts of Airport FOD:

Engine Ingestion on the Aircraft

Aircraft damage

Velocity Impact of Debris Launched by Jet BlastInto Other Aircraft, Personnel (Ramp/Passengers),and Buildings

BOTTOM LINE: FOD = $$$$$$$


6/24


7/24


8/24

The Airport Role

The Responsibility for Cleanliness by Airports ServingScheduled Airlines is as Follows:

International Civil Aviation Organization - Annex 14- Recommendation

Federal Aviation Administration - Part 139- Requirement


9/24

The Airline Role

Airlines Generate Much of the FOD Found on theAirside Through Their Operations and Those oftheir Support Functions

User Agreements Typically Identify the AgencyResponsible for Cleaning Various Areas


10/24

How is it Generated

Infrastructure

Physical Degradation of the Airport Surfacesand Facilities Airside Maintenance/Construction Activities

Operational Activities Servicing & Maintenance of Aircraft Windborne Debris from Adjacent Areas

Operation of Aircraft (Jet Blast)

Personnel

Weather Phenomena


11/24

Infrastructure FOD Sources

Broken Pieces ofPavement Collect atEdge of Gate Area,Then Are Carried Out

Via Vehicle Tires Loose Pieces of

Construction Material

Can be Blown Fromthe Gate Area Ontothe Maneuvering

Areas


12/24

Operational FOD Sources

On a 150 FT (45m)Wide Runway, The #1and #4 Engines CanBlow FOD from

Shoulder Area BackOnto The Runway

Jet Blast From

Aircraft Turning AtRW/TW IntersectionsCan Blow FOD Onto

Runway


13/24

MD-90 Jet Blast - Breakaway Thrust


14/24

MD-90 Jet Blast - Takeoff Thrust


15/24

This is not an optional cargo storage area!


16/24

How to Control The Problem

Training

Inspection by Airline and Airport Personnel

Maintenance Activities

Communication/Coordination


17/24

Training

Both Airline and Airport Personnel Need Training

to: Identify FOD Know the Potential Results of Ignoring FOD

Know How to Eliminate FOD

Recurrent Training

Key to This Effort Is theACTIVE Participation of AllPersonnel, Especially Airline Station Managementand Flight Crews


18/24

Inspection

Airline Personnel Should Participate, When Able,

With the Airport Staff During the Daily AirsideInspections (This Will Ensure That the Local AirlineStaff Know What Is Happening on the Airfield)

FOD Inspections Must Be Carried Out at RegularIntervals

Airlines Should Designate Individuals to EnsureThat the Gate Areas Are Acceptable Prior to theAircraft Operating There


19/24

Maintenance Activities Sweeping Operations Should Be Scheduled And

Available On An As Needed Basis. Airlines Need

To Provide Access To Gate Areas

Capability Must Exist to Respond to Repair

Problem Areas (Hole in Taxiway, Etc.) So As ToMinimize the FOD Potential

Funding Must Exist to Maintain Paved SurfacesIn Good Condition

Procedures Must Be In Place (Airport & Airline) ForWeather/Disaster Recovery, To Include FOD Removal


20/24

FOD Reduction Methods

Rumble (Shaker) StripsCan be Used toDislodge FOD From

Vehicle UndercarriagePrior to Operating onthe AOA

These are LocallyManufactured and Canbe Transportable


21/24


Notification of Airside Construction Activities and

Scheduled Maintenance Must Be Disseminated tothe Airport Users

Airport Pre-Construction Planning Must Includethe Methodology to Control and Contain FODGenerated by the Construction Activity

Airlines Need an Active Airport Users Committeeto Coordinate Their FOD Control Efforts With theAirport and Other Tenants


22/24

Remember!!!!!


23/24

Conclusions Control FOD Through a Combination of the

Following: Training Inspection Maintenance


Airlines Need an Active Airport Users Committee To

Coordinate Their FOD Control Efforts With theAirport And Other Tenants

FOD Is Everyones Responsibility and by TeamworkIt Can Be Controlled!
