Narrative:

Taxiway F in lima. The taxiway and ramp around and along taxiway F in lima are very contaminated with rocks or stones. Great possibility of foreign object damage to engines during taxi. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter does not know if the problem at lim still exists as he has not been back since and has only been in there once. A B747 behind him raised a 'dust cloud higher than his tail' on the same taxiway. The reporter has done nothing more than inform his air carrier and the ASRS of this. His air carrier 'has notified the proper auths.' the reporter is now aware of the FAA safety hotline.
