Aviation Accident Prevention
Aviation safety is a major subelement of the installation commander's
safety program. All activities and operations, whether on the ground
or in the air, have the element of risk.
Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Prevention
-
Each unit will maintain a positive FOD program.
- Rings/watches will not be worn while inspecting or maintaining aircraft. Tools will be inventoried and monitored to ensure their removal from the airfield.
- All personnel visiting the airfield, personnel boarding (leaving or approaching) operating aircraft will be cautioned to remove and secure any “loose items” (hats, scarves, etc.) which could be ingested by the engines.
- Kites, model aircraft, model rockets, etc., will not be flown in close proximity to the Godman Army Airfield/Taxiway or where their presence could pose a danger to operating aircraft. For example, areas in Keyes Park, present a proximate danger to aircraft concerning the above activities.
