Message: [QUOTE="Simon Says, post: 5641, member: 1434"] Agreed........diligints is a must in aviation. Accidents happen and so does negligance. Accidents must be prevented and negligence must be punished. FOD is usually a negligance, but must also be looked at as an accident. I have never had an experience with FOD, but I am sure it is more of a problem in the helicopters that you fly. (because of all the moving parts) I have had problems with mechanics installing parts incorrctly that caused some malfunctions. I know they are suppose to have books out while they fix the A/C so would this be an accident or negligance. Whos to say? Good luck to you. by the way I have never heard that saying, I got one for you. It is better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground. [/QUOTE]
