Proposal Statement
Congress provide funding to buy non-slip flexible tool trays for aircraft maintenance to increase the safety and efficiency of the mechanics while preventing Foreign Object Damage (FOD) from occurring while operating and maintaining the aircraft.
Recommendation Information
Grypshon Industries Inc. is a US-based company that specializes in providing tools for aircraft maintenance that increases efficiency, safety, and productivity of aircraft mechanics. The Grypshon Flexible Tool Trays (GFTT) are non-slip trays designed to provide a safe place to keeps tools during aircraft maintenance. In their absence, the surface of a jet or helicopter is extremely slick and provides inadequate footing for workers. Furthermore, tools set on the surface of the aircraft are prone to sliding off. Mechanics are not permitted to put tools in their pockets or wear tool belts, since they may misplace objects or damage the aircraft. At present, the only solution is to climb up and down a ladder to exchange tools, or occupy the time of a second person to provide assistance. In reality, the mechanics are setting tools inside the aircraft to save time. Both approaches are inefficient and error-prone. With GFTT, their tools will be kept in a safe location outside the aircraft and conveniently close to their work station on top of the aircraft.
