| Q. |
When should I use a FOD screen? |
| A. |
Remember FOD screens are only good for keeping out large objects like grass, large rocks, etc. The most harmful objects to your engine are dirt and sand, which a FOD screen DOES NOT screen out! If you fly from a grass or gravel runway and are in need of a FOD screen, there are many screens that can be retrofitted to fit your engine. |
