Who should receive FOE awareness training?

FOE awareness training is crucial for all personnel involved in aircraft operations because everyone plays a role in ensuring that foreign objects do not compromise safety and operational integrity. This includes not just maintenance personnel and flight crews, but also ground support staff, cleaning crews, and any other individuals who may have access to the aircraft or the areas where aircraft operations occur.

When all individuals are trained in FOE awareness, they become more vigilant about potential hazards, understand the importance of maintaining a clean environment around the aircraft, and are more likely to report or mitigate any situations that could lead to foreign object damage. This comprehensive approach fosters a culture of safety and accountability, which is essential in aviation operations where the consequences of foreign objects can be severe.

In contrast, limiting training to only certain groups would leave gaps in awareness that could lead to significant risks, as each role is interconnected in the maintenance of aircraft safety.
