Brownout & FOD Prevention
•The unique ability of the helicopter to hover above, take off from and land on unprepared
areas –including deserts, rocky fields and mountain tops –makes it vulnerable to brownout,
the phenomenon of dust and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) thrown up by the helicopter rotor
downwash.
•A brownout can occur whether landing, taking off or hovering. It can blind operators,
sandblast and erode helicopter rotor blades, and force sand into sensitive engine-parts and
filters.
•The cost of brownouts is vast: in Iraq and Afghanistan they cause three out of every four
helicopter accidents, with unnecessary loss of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars of
equipment.
•The FEC Portapad helipad significantly reduces brownout. The Portapad also prevents the
sand and dust underneath from coming back up –even when pounded by the most powerful
rotor downwash.
•The FEC Portapad is a lightweight, transportable helipad that solves the problem of sand
and dust abatement.
•By reducing the problem of sand and dust abatement the FEC Portapad facilitates increased
operational aircraft time, reduced maintenance costs and increased operational safety for
aircraft and ground crew.
•The FEC Portapad is lightweight, compact and rapidly deployable, and impervious to
aviation fuels and oil spills.
•The FEC Portapad helipad provides a stable, safe helipad in conditions made dangerous to
man and destructive to machine by dust, debris, sand, snowfalls, mudslides or bushfires.
