A buddy shared this with me so thought I should share with you guys that have Commanders. I'm still dreaming.
Never knew nose wheel FOD was an issue. Guess so.

Thanks, I'm not sure how real this problem is but you guys would know better. I fly off all sorts of grass and dirt strips as well as paved and I've never had any damage due to this. But perhaps some of you have.

I think it's an issue on gravel runways. A lot of Commanders are operated by BLM and Forest Service contractors in that environment.
Personally, I try to stay off gravel runways when at all possible.

My old 520 suffered from belly rash. Took that to quite a few rougher strips, but it was there already when I bought her.
