"You
have hit the nail on the head with your manual... It
provides a good foundation for anyone just starting out as a new
Foreign Object Elimination technician or as a refresher for those
of us that have been around for a while... Keep up the fight to
ensure everyone knows the cost of not having a good FOD Prevention
Program not only in dollars but more important human life!"

MAKE IT FOD FREE! 
Very few books give us the tools to save lives, money and make us look good
at the same time. But anyone in aviation will find a new publication essential
reading for just those reasons. The first of its kind, “MAKE IT FOD
FREE! The Ultimate FOD Prevention Programs Manual,” written by Gary
Chaplin, and a team of FOD Program experts, brings readers proven knowledge
and collective experience exceeding 150 years of preventing Foreign Object
Damage (FOD) to aircraft and personnel. A complete chapter is available for
free download and review at www.makeitfodfree.com.
Twelve experienced FOD Program managers have written “how-to” chapters
for the unique manual, freely sharing comprehensive information enabling anyone
to create, operate and maintain an effective FOD Prevention Program. The author
team includes:
- Wing Commander Richard Friend, former British Royal Air Force FOD Manager
- Phil Messenger, former Northrup Grumman FOD Manager, who developed
the FOD Program for the B-2 Stealth Bomber manufacturing program
- Master Sergeant Steve Ball, US Air Force Base FOD Program Manager
- Don Simmons, former American Airlines FOD Program Manager
- David Larrigan, FOD Manager, Vancouver International Airport,
Canada.
Chapter titles include: Building Your FOD Program on Solid Foundations: Promotion & Awareness
Training for New Employees; Mom Flies Here: A FOD Prevention Program for Airport
Managers; and You Don’t Want This Golden Goose: Wildlife Implications
and Management for the Aviation Industry. Also featured are sections with FOD
Program guidance specifically for Military, Manufacturers, Airlines and FBOs.
“Everyone who understands the extent of the threat wants to eliminate FOD,” notes
Chaplin, “but we are surprised, and often discouraged, to find out how
complicated and demanding it is to set up a successful FOD Prevention Program.
MAKE IT FOD FREE! delivers practical assistance to Program Managers, with detailed
information at every stage of their progress.” Chaplin adds, “Both
the manual and our supporting websites are valuable tools for rookies and old
hands alike.”
Gary Chaplin is the founder/president of The F.O.D. Control Corporation, inventing
and supplying FOD Prevention Program support equipment and information to the
aviation industry for over 20 years. His groundbreaking manual marks the first
time fully comprehensive specific instructions have been assembled in one place
detailing start-up, maintenance, and improvement of FOD Programs-for any type
or size of aviation operation, whether civilian or military.
