FOD - Pilot Report
Other than common sense - is it written anywhere that a pilot / company needs to report, in this case, 'possible' FOD to the airport authorities?
E.g. - After ramp in - tire is found to be shredded - don't know if happened on take-off or landing. Written requirements anywhere - and if 'only' company / airport, how is it worded?
Many thanks.

From what I've seen, it's just the facts as you know them. This day this time, we landed, did the walk around and noticed the tire was shredded. Possible FOD because of XYZ... Unless you know for sure, just say "possible".

As former Airport Ops I'll say this. We would MUCH rather hear a report of possible debris and be unable to find anything that to find it (either on inspection or in the worst case scenario...) and have to try and find out where it came from.

Just looking for something in writing - it can certainly be added into an ops manual, 'if pieces are believed to have fallen off your airplane while on the aerodrome, advise ground, tower or airports ops', but is it written somewhere that it is a 'requirement'?
Thanks!
Thanks!
