ABE Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Maintenance Program (ALREMP) Test 1 Practice

FOD prevention on the flight and hanger decks is the responsibility of the Handler. Foreign Object Debris control is essential to protect aircraft engines, surfaces, and ground equipment from damage, so the Handler coordinates all activities to keep these decks clean and safe. This includes conducting or supervising FOD walks, ensuring tools and parts are accounted for, enforcing tool control, and validating that cleaning and inspection tasks are completed before aircraft movements. That focus on debris prevention and deck safety is why the Handler is in charge of this program.

Duties such as flight plan optimization belong to flight operations planning, safety briefing programs are managed by the safety office, and aircraft maintenance scheduling falls under maintenance planning or production control.
