tetri_tolia commented on the word ingestion zone
The ingestion zone is a semicircle around 20 feet or so in front of a jet engine, whilst for 100 feet or so to the rear one must beware of jetblast. Extreme caution should be exercised approaching the ingestion zone while engines are running, or one might suffer the dismal fate of being sucked into an engine. For best results, wait for the engine to spool down before attempting work on or near the airplane.
