I have recently taken over as Manager of the FOD group on LinkedIn. The group was previously managed by Xsight (a FOD detection system supplier), the group has not been updated for quite some time so I have taken over the management in an attempt to breathe new life into the group. The group is no longer affiliated to any commercial organisation.

I have two main aims for the group:

• To allow people interested in FOD issues to connect with one another.
• To start some debate/discussions on FOD related news.

It is my hope that the group will help in the fight against FOD and make our runways safer by connecting the right people and helping to spread best practice across the industry.

If you are a member of LinkedIn then please consider becoming a member of the FOD group, we would welcome your input.
