MOC VTOL.2435(f) Prevention of likely foreign object damage to the
lift/thrust unit
n/a
(a) The demonstration of compliance with VTOL.2435(f) should consider any foreign object of a nature such that it could impair the proper functioning of the lift/thrust system, both in flight and on the ground.
(b) It should be substantiated that the strike and ingestion effects of foreign objects such as plastic bags, papers, cleaning cloths, hand tools, rivets, bolts and screws are not hazardous to the aircraft. This can be achieved by demonstrating that such threat cannot affect more than a critical number of lift/thrust units and ensuing
— continued safe flight and landing for Category Enhanced
— controlled emergency landing for Category Basic
(c) Design precautions should be taken to avoid the clogging of cooling holes by foreign objects.
