Summary of changes, as printed
This interim change revises AFI 13-213 by changing it to a DAFI, de-conflicting guidance and tier waiver authority for Foreign Object Damage (FOD) checks on Department of the Air Force (DAF) owned and/or operated airfields, clarifying wing or garrison airfield driving program manager’s role and responsibility for ensuring unit program compliance and updating technical references. A margin bar (|) indicates newly revised material.
