For example, the cost to repair an FOD-damaged engine can easily exceed $1 million. FOD incidents costs the U.S. Military over $ 90 million per year. FOD can also incur extensive indirect costs, including:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Flight delays and cancellations, leading to a loss of customers<\/li>\n<li>Schedule disruptions caused by the need to reposition airplanes and crews<\/li>\n<li>Potential liability because of injury<\/li>\n<li>Additional work for airline management and staff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The cost of repairing FOD damage can easily exceed 20% of its original purchase price.<\/p>\n<p>Purchase cost of <strong>MD-11<\/strong> engine: <strong>$8-10 million<\/strong><br \/>\nPurchase cost of <strong>MD-80<\/strong> engine: <strong>$3-4 million<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD-11 engine overhaul<\/strong> to correct FOD damage: <strong>$500K &#8211; $1.6 million<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD-80 engine overhaul<\/strong> to correct FOD damage: <strong>$250K &#8211; $1.0 million<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD-11 fan blades<\/strong> (per set*): <strong>$25K<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD-80 fan blades<\/strong> (per set*): <strong>$7K<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>*Fan blades are balanced and replaced as a set.<\/p>\n<h2>US Air Force FOD Improvements Usings FOD Magnets<\/h2>\n<p><a href=../../../../_https_/www.shieldscompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/USAF-FOD.gif/_.html><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-158 alignright\" src=../../../../_https_/www.shieldscompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/USAF-FOD.gif/_.html alt=\"Improvements in US Air Force FOD incidents due to use of magnetic sweepers.\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldscompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/USAF-FOD-300x222.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldscompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/USAF-FOD.gif 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>As seen on the chart at right, using data compiled by the United States Air Force, incidents from \u201cFOD\u201d or \u201cForeign Object Debris\u201d inversely decline nearly 1000% when using magnetic sweepers\/FOD magnets along flightlines and aircraft traffic areas. This chart shows the ratio of FOD incidents per 100k flight hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Flat Tire Reduction<\/h2>\n<p>Recently Southwest Airlines&#8217; Houston station spent approximately $7000 for tire repair costs. More significant was the time ramp equipment was out of service. As you know, keeping equipment in serviceable condition is essential to running an efficient operation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-554 alignleft\" src=../../../../_https_/www.shieldscompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/flat-tire.jpg/_.html alt=\"Flat aircraft tire\" width=\"200\" height=\"182\" \/>Southwest\u2019s Ground Equipment Maintenance Foreman decided to try Shields Magnetics FOD Magnets and their product line, including the magnetic ramp sweeper. The FOD Magnet is designed to pick up metallic FOD in order to prevent ingestion in aircraft engines and to prevent tire damage to ramp equipment. Initially Southwest purchased three Magnetic Ramp Sweepers\/FOD Magnets. These immediately proved very effective. They followed up with an order to equip each of their bag tugs with a FOD Magnet Magnetic Sweeper. The result has been that tires repairs have been significantly reduced, from somewhere in the vicinity of 15 flat tires a week down to two or three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOD &amp; Maintenance Costs The effect of Foreign Object Debris [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":38,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Cost of Maintenance Due to Foreign Object Debris<\/title>\n
