Shepherd Aero Global Ferry Service are continuously searching for innovative solutions to streamline operations and enhance safety. One such innovation that has caught their attention is TheCanKey FOD-free turbine oil can opener. Shepherd Aero has embraced this simple, but revolutionary tool, recognizing its potential to improve their operation.
Debi from Shepherd Aero explains: “Our flight and training crews are always on the go and need a professional way of topping up the oil when needed. It has previously been up to the crew to find a suitable way to open oil cans. When you are on a ferry or doing training far from homebase, it can be difficult.”
Debi continuous: “Now we have implemented the use of TheCanKey FOD-free turbine oil can opener. It has been a hit and generated lots of positive feedback and testimonials from our training operation and flight crews:”
- It is less time consuming to do the oil top up.
- No spilling or oil spraying.
- Looking much more professional and furthermore, it is certified FOD free.
“The oil can openers are printed with our company logo and always sparks attention when used. We are giving TheCanKey to every single jet training client that we work with, as well as every single aircraft ferry. It is projecting our awareness and focus on FOD (foreign object damage) prevention. And for our existing clients, it is instilling confidence in their choice of aircraft ferry and training provider.”
“Another issue is the potential delays or cancelled flights. Metal contamination of the oil system is leading to accelerated wear of the delicate turbine engine bearings and gears. Magnetic particles can lead to chip light warnings and suspicious looking oil samples. Oil filters containing metal chips always causes further investigation. Which is very time consuming and costly.”

Debi finalizes: “By using TheCanKey FOD-free turbine oil can opener we are able to optimize our operation and cut costs in a safe way. The elimination of FOD risks contributes to a smoother and more efficient workflow, reducing the need for postponed or cancelled flights and potential engine repairs.”
