Inspection after a Lightning Strike with Drone
WARNING:
YOU MUST PUT ON AND ATTACH A SAFETY HARNESS BEFORE YOU START WORK:
- ON THE THS OR IN THE REAR FUSELAGE
- ON TOP OF THE WINGS OR PYLONS.
WARNING:
PUT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS
- COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THAT THE INSPECTION WITH DRONE WILL GIVE CORRECT RESULTS FOR YOUR AIRCRAFT. THERE IS A RISK THAT YOU WILL NOT CLEARLY SEE ALL SIGNS OF DAMAGE ON AIRCRAFT WITH DARK LIVERIES.
1. Reason for the JobNOTE: This is an alternative method for the inspection after a lightning strike. For the other method, refer to the relevant task in this page block.
After a lightning strike, before the next flight you must:- Do a general inspection of the total surface of the aircraft to find the strike areas.
- Carefully examine the strike areas to find the type and quantity of possible damage.
- If you find damage, make a decision about the necessary repair/action.
The General Visual Inspection (GVI) includes the inspection for the lower parts of the fuselage.
NOTE: The cabin floor level (STGR 23) defines the separation limit between the drone inspection and the GVI for the fuselage and the aircraft nose.
The inspection areas by the drone are:- The area above the cabin floor level (STGR 23)
- The horizontal tail plane
- The Vertical Tail Plane (VTP)
- The upper surface of the wings
- The upper surface of the sharklets
- The inboard surface of the wing-fences
- The area below the cabin floor level (STGR 23)
- The lower surface of the wings
- The lower surface of the sharklets
- The outboard surface of the wing-fences
- The engines (nacelles and pylons).
- An adjustable access platform of 2 m (6.56 ft.) to 12 m (39.37 ft.) or
- A manlift aerial boom 2 m (6.56 ft.) to 11 m (36.09 ft.).

A. General
(1) Lightning
(a) Lightning always has two or more attachment points (one entry and one or more exits) on the aircraft skin.
(b) Lightning moves along the surface of the aircraft (swept stroke zone) between the entry and exit points. This can cause a sequence of random attachment points along a line in the direction of travel of the aircraft.
(c) Lightning hits some areas more frequently than others.
(2) Aircraft zoning
(a) The aircraft is divided into three zones related to the risk of a lightning strike:
1 Zone 1:
The risk of arc hang-on is low in A areas and high in B areas.
1 Zone 1A:
The area with a high risk of initial attachment and a low risk of arc hang-on, which includes:
The area with a high risk of initial attachment and a high risk of arc hang-on, which includes:
A swept stroke zone with a low risk of arc hang-on, which includes:
A swept stroke zone with a high risk of an arc hang-on, which includes the wing trailing edge aft of zone 2A.
(3) Effects on the aircraft structure and systems
There are two types of possible risks to the aircraft:
1 Electromagnetic fields:
The direct effects are physical damage related to signs such as:
1 Pitting/melt-through:
(a) The aircraft design keeps the effects of lightning to a minimum. They can continue their flights and safely do the landing after a lightning strike.
(b) It is not possible to know accurately where the attachment will occur. Zone 1 and zone 2 are the areas with the highest risk of a lightning strike.
(c) Lightning strikes do not always cause the same quantity of damage. The quantity of damage comes from the intensity of the lightning strike.
(d) Therefore, it is necessary to do a full inspection after a lightning strike. This is to make an estimate of the damage and to make sure that the aircraft can, as a minimum, continue the service (which agrees with the conditions in the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) and the Master Configuration Deviation List (MCDL)).
The inspection after a lightning strike is related to:
Subtask 05-51-18-210-152-A (1) Lightning
(a) Lightning always has two or more attachment points (one entry and one or more exits) on the aircraft skin.
(b) Lightning moves along the surface of the aircraft (swept stroke zone) between the entry and exit points. This can cause a sequence of random attachment points along a line in the direction of travel of the aircraft.
(c) Lightning hits some areas more frequently than others.
(2) Aircraft zoning
(a) The aircraft is divided into three zones related to the risk of a lightning strike:
1 Zone 1:
- The surfaces with a high risk of initial lightning attachment (entry or exits).
- The surfaces with a high risk of a "swept stroke zone". The lightning strike has its initial point of attachment in zone 1 and moves into zone 2.
- This zone includes all of the aircraft surfaces that are not in zone 1 and zone 2. In zone 3, there is a low risk of attachment of a lightning strike. High lightning currents can go through zone 3 because of direct conduction between two attachment points. Zone 3 currents will also go into zones 1 and 2.
The risk of arc hang-on is low in A areas and high in B areas.
1 Zone 1A:
The area with a high risk of initial attachment and a low risk of arc hang-on, which includes:
- The forward-mounted pitot probes
- The radome lightning-arrester strips
- The nacelle leading edges.
The area with a high risk of initial attachment and a high risk of arc hang-on, which includes:
- The wing
- The horizontal stabilizer
- The vertical stabilizer and rudder tips
- Some trailing edge areas.
A swept stroke zone with a low risk of arc hang-on, which includes:
- The mid-chord regions of the wing surface
- The aft areas of an engine
- The total fuselage surface.
A swept stroke zone with a high risk of an arc hang-on, which includes the wing trailing edge aft of zone 2A.
(3) Effects on the aircraft structure and systems
There are two types of possible risks to the aircraft:
- Indirect effects
- Direct effects.
1 Electromagnetic fields:
- The electromagnetic fields related to the lightning attachment can cause unwanted transient voltages and currents in the aircraft wiring and systems.
In some conditions (low intensity strike, high protection), the effect on the systems can be temporary and the systems can operate correctly again after the strike.
In other conditions (low protection, no circuit protection devices), the damage can be permanent and it is necessary to replace parts.
The direct effects are physical damage related to signs such as:
1 Pitting/melt-through:
- This is the result of the electrical arc that occurs when a lightning strike attaches to the aircraft (arc root damage at the attachment points or damage because of current flow which can also occur far from the attachment points).
- Signs of a lightning attachment are pitting, scorch marks and paint discoloration.
On composite components, not only paint discoloration and skin puncturing but also delamination of the fibers can occur. If there is skin puncturing, there can be damage to the grounded equipment below the composite material fairings. - Always compare the damage that you find with the limits given in the Structural Repair Manual (SRM).
- The damage usually occurs in a small area with high density of the current (for example, a bonding lead installed on a control surface hinge).
- When the lightning currents flow through an aircraft structure, energy changes to heat along its path.
- Resistive heating usually causes weld marks, specially where the lightning current flows for some time.
- When a lightning strike occurs, there is an acoustic shock wave. If the intensity of this shock wave is high, it can cause deformation of thin metal skins or rupture of thin composite skins.
(a) The aircraft design keeps the effects of lightning to a minimum. They can continue their flights and safely do the landing after a lightning strike.
(b) It is not possible to know accurately where the attachment will occur. Zone 1 and zone 2 are the areas with the highest risk of a lightning strike.
(c) Lightning strikes do not always cause the same quantity of damage. The quantity of damage comes from the intensity of the lightning strike.
(d) Therefore, it is necessary to do a full inspection after a lightning strike. This is to make an estimate of the damage and to make sure that the aircraft can, as a minimum, continue the service (which agrees with the conditions in the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) and the Master Configuration Deviation List (MCDL)).
The inspection after a lightning strike is related to:
- The type of system to give the tests that are necessary
- The requirements of the MMEL and the MCDL.
