To determine the actual lightning vulnerability of typical light aircraft systems and components, and demonstrate the required vulnerability assessment techniques, analyses and laboratory tests were performed on several typical light aircraft and some of their systems and components. The report describes the engineering and laboratory evaluation of component or system vulnerability. (Author)
