Foreign Object Debris (FOD) represents a significant challenge and concern for the aviation industry, posing potential risks to the safety, reliability, and financial aspects of aircraft operations. Each year, FOD costs the industry millions of dollars, with the potential to cause critical damage to aircraft, including ingestion into engine components, leading to costly repairs or, in the worst-case scenario, accidents.

The far-reaching impact of FOD is evident, with estimates suggesting it causes more than 2.5 billion USD in damage to engines and out-of-service aircraft worldwide annually. FOD can also lead to damages or obstructions in aircraft operating mechanisms and result in cut aircraft tires, leading to operational inefficiencies and safety hazards.

To address these challenges, this comprehensive one-day training course by Sofema Aviation Services is designed to educate and equip aircraft workshop and engine repair technicians and engineers with the essential knowledge and skills to effectively manage and mitigate FOD risks.
