Mission Statement

NAFPI is a nonprofit, nonpartisan association of people and organizations from many different areas of the aerospace industry (including military, commercial, airline, manufacturing, airports, and support industries). Collectively, we recognize the serious negative impact FOD has on safety and fiscal responsibility. We are committed to a common goal to educate, create awareness, and promote FOD prevention in all aspects of aerospace operations and manufacture. Two key aspects of our mission is to be a resource for information, training, and support, and to provide an effective forum for the exchange of ideas, solutions, and expertise.

NAFPI was formed in 1985 by a few committed people who realized the problems FOD presented. They had the vision to realize what could be accomplished by organizing people from various industries and disciplines within aerospace in order to combat FOD and provide resources to help in this effort. NAFPI's charter was formed in 1985; it was incorporated in 1995 as a nonprofit educational organization.
