RE: Fod screens impacts
on some engines it has more of an effect than on others ... A p200 for instance will loose around 2 - 4 lbs thrust with a FOD screen alone, where as a typical 36lbs class turbine wont loose more than 1 lbs from a FOD screen ... it all goes back to air intake areas and how diferent engines are affected by the reduced airflow .. I would personally not fly any jet without a FOD screen . Its only a matter of time before something gets sucked up .
