Talk:Foreign object damage

message: Obviously, Foreign Object Damage has been a concern since the earliest days of flight... but when was the term "FOD" first used? I think it would be appropriate to note when the xpression entered the language. The earliest I can trace it back is to the late 1950s, in the US. I am also trying to identify when the world's navies began "FOD Walkdowns" on their carriers. Again, the earliest I have found is the late 1950s, in the USN.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.91.65.148 (talk) 06:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: FOD also stands for a related term, Foreign Object Debris. For example at the air force base where I work there are signs advising people to "Check Shoes for FOD". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.106.168 (talk) 22:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

So the term FOD seems to apply to construction too, not just operations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kentborg (talk • contribs) 19:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The section of the article related to bird ingestion is completely inaccurate.  Regulations state that ingestion of small and medium sized birds can not cause less than 25% loss of thrust.  The engine is actually required to continue running for several minutes at specific power settings, demonstrating the ability to change power settings and sustain them after the bird strike.  See Federal Aviation Regulations part 33 section 33.76 for a detailed summary of the required test.  It should be noted that not all engines may need to meet the specifications of FAR 33.76, but any engine on a large commercial aircraft certainly will need to comply.  FAR can be seen online at http://rgl.faa.gov/

message: Does this article remind anyone of the term "debug"? Grace Murray Hopper would be displeased to know that her term, based on a true story about an actual FOD moth, doesn't appear in the entire article. Inasilentway (talk) 06:21, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The article states that wildlife is not generally considered a cause of FOD, and yet quite a bit of the text relates to bird strikes.  I placed a citation needed tag at the line that dismisses live animals, but if that is indeed the case, then a portion of the article is irrelevant.  Just sayin'...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.106.48 (talk) 10:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

message: It looks as if it's been decided that "FOD" officially means "Foreign Object Debris" nowadays more than "Damage", to the extent that while the article is titled "Foreign Object Damage", it starts out with the bold words "Foreign Object Debris are...". I made the words "Foreign Object Damage" beginning the following paragraph bold as well, for those who were a little confused by the discrepancy, but it seems to be that the title of the page out to match the leading definition, which is "Debris". That appears to be upheld in the text, although I'd always thought that it was a case of double-definition more than one word replacing others...FOD causes FOD, not FOD causes FOD damage (although that's an easier way to say it in real life, obviously). As for the quote "there can be debris without damage, there can be no damage without debris", that's all well and good as it goes, except that it's not technically true: there can be all kinds of damage without debris! Turbine blades letting go, cracked compressor discs, etc, plain old fashioned failure. AnnaGoFast (talk) 23:10, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
