Methods and apparatus are provided for improving engine performance in a turbofan gas turbine engine following foreign object ingestion in turbofan gas turbine engines that include an intake fan that includes a plurality of fan blades, and that is disposed within and surrounded by a fan case. The occurrence of a foreign object ingestion by the turbofan gas turbine engine is detected and, upon detecting that a foreign object has been ingested, air is bled from a region proximate the blades of the intake fan through a slot in the fan case.
