1.0       Purpose and Introduction

This document establishes the standards for a baseline program for Aviation Maintenance, Modification and Operational organizations for the control and prevention of foreign object debris (FOD) and the resulting foreign object damage (FOD) caused by this debris.  This applies to aircraft or components being inspected, maintained, modified, repaired, tested and operated anywhere in the organization.

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) often causes Foreign Object Damage (FOD).  The majority of instances of FOD can be attributed to lack of standards in an organization, personal complacency or disregard for procedures.
