Introduction

• FForeign OObject DDebris/DDamage (further referred as FODFOD) at the airport can cause damage that costs airlines, airports, and airport tenants millions of HUF (or equivalent currency) every year.

• FOD is any object that does not belong to, or near the airplanes and, as a result, can injure airport or airline personnel and/or damage aircraft.

Introduction

FOD at airports:• includes any object found on an inappropriate location that -- as a

result of being there -- can damage equipment or injure airplane and/or airport personnel.

• Worldwide, the estimated cost of FODs for the aviation industry is in order of 4 billion USD a year. Airports, airlines, and airport tenants can reduce this cost by taking steps to prevent airport FOD.

• FOD is all around terminal gates, cargo aprons, taxiways, runways, and run-up pads. It causes damage through direct contact with airplanes, such as by cutting airplane tires or being ingested into engines, or as a result of being thrown by jet blast and damaging airplanes or injuring people.

ICAO requirement

• The ICAO Annex 14 (Chapter 10, paragraph 10.2.1) prescribes that

"The surface of pavements (runways, taxiways, aprons and adjacent areas) shall be kept clear of any loose stones or other objects that might cause damage to aircraft structures or engines, or impair the operation of aircraft systems."

(RMK: it became standard in November 24th, 2005 Fourth Edition, Amendment 7) and additional information can be found in the ICAO Doc 9157 Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 2.)

FOD occurrence

FOD occurrence:

• Airport infrastructure The deterioration, maintenance, and construction of the airport infrastructure can contribute to FOD. For example, pieces of concrete can break loose from holes in pavement or from fatigue corner cracks, and building materials can fall from construction vehicles or be blown from gate areas onto aircraft maneuvering area.

• Normal airplane operationsRefueling, catering, cabin cleaning, and baggage and cargo handling can produce broken materials. Baggage pieces, including bag tags and wheels, can break off luggage and either fall onto the apron or collect in the door sill. Items collected in the door sill can damage the door or prevent it from fully sealing.

• Personal belongingsPens, coins, identification badges, hats, soda cans, paperwork, and any other object that airport or airline personnel carry can become FOD if inadvertently left in an inappropriate location.

FOD-prevention program

• A FOD-prevention program can minimize FOD and its effects. According to experience, a program to control airport FOD is most effective when it addresses four main areas:

• Training,• Inspection by airline, airport, and airplane handling agency

personnel.• Maintenance• Co-operation and co-ordination.

FOD prevention

FOD prevention:• FOD bins• Cleaning, sweeping• FOD campaign for prevention

FOD inspection and collection campaign

• Late February the Budapest Airport decided to carry out an immediate FOD inspection and collection campaign on part of the maneuvering area. The result is “impressing”: 314 sacks of FOD (including garbage) were collected which is around 60 m3 of waste.

Final conclusion

• We should be well aware that this FOD concern will never be solved.

but…….:

• We will only be able to reduce risk of appearance of FOD based on very conscious education conscious education of people and very consequent supervision/monitoring consequent supervision/monitoring of our area of responsibility on the Airside.

• Common efforts are required efforts are required from each parties of aviation to deal with the issue properly!

(RMK: and in addition to that, we always will have vis maior situations /like extra strong winds/ which will always

make our life more complicated than we wanted to.)
