3. Per Flight Direct Costs FOD costs the Aviation Industry
US$13 billion per year in direct plus indirect costs. calculated by
considering engine maintenance spending, tire replacements, and
aircraft body damage. total of 33 individual categories. The
indirect costs are as much as ten times the direct cost value. Per

5. FOD AND MAINTENANCE COSTS The effect of Foreign Object
Debris (FOD) on maintenance costs can be significant. For example,
the cost to repair a FOD-damaged engine can easily exceed $1
million. FOD can also incur extensive indirect costs, including:
Flight delays and cancellations, leading to a loss of customers.
Schedule disruptions caused by the need to reposition airplanes and
crews. Potential liability because of injury. Additional work for
airline management and staff. The cost of repairing FOD damage to
an engine can easily exceed 20 percent of its original purchase
price. Purchase cost of MD-11 engine $8-10 million Purchase cost of
MD-80 engine $3-4 million MD-11 engine overhaul to correct FOD
damage $500,000-1.6 million MD-80 engine overhaul to correct FOD
damage $250,000-1.0 million MD-11 fan blades (per set*) $25,000
MD-80 fan blades (per set*) $7,000 *Fan blades are balanced and
replaced as a set.

7. PACIFIC OCEAN (June 19, 2008) Sailors search the flight deck
for foreign object debris (FOD) during a FOD walkdown aboard the
Nimitz- class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). FOD
walkdowns are conducted to reduce the potential for aircraft
engines to become damaged and flight deck personnel to be injured
by loose objects on the flight deck. Stennis and multiple embarked
fleet replacement squadrons are conducting Fleet Replacement
Squadron Carrier Qualifications (FRSCQ) off the coast of Southern
California. FRSCQ's are conducted to qualify naval aviators in day
and night carrier operations in the aircraft they will fly during
their aviation career.
8. INDIAN OCEAN (May 4, 2009) Sailors and Marines perform a
foreign object debris (FOD) walk down after an all-hands call
aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4). FOD walk
downs help prevent damage to aircraft from debris on the flight
deck which could be ingested into a jet engine. Boxer is deployed
as part of the Boxer Amphibious Readiness Group/13th Marine
Expeditionary Unit supporting maritime security operations in the
U.S. 5th fleet area of responsibility.
9. Damage to aircraft will lead to death and injury which will
cause expensive cost. Control program for FOD must be functional
with efficiency. An effective debris-control program can greatly
reduce the high cost of FOD damage and the potential for injury to
personnel or passenger. FOD control is most effective when all
affected parties coordinate their efforts.
