FAA Lightning Protection Study: Report of Investigations Relative to Providing Lightning Protection for Control Lines for the Remote Center Air-to-Ground (RCAG),
Abstract
The purpose of the Lightning Protection Study is to determine the degree of susceptability of FAA electronic systems to induced electromagnetic pulse effects due to lightning and to propose protective devices adequate for low voltage solid state systems. This Report covers the RCAG. While the RCAG does contain solid state circuitry with potentially susceptible components, they are sufficiently isolated from transients so that effects are apparently negligible. Two separate reviews of four RCAG's in Florida failed to surface any outages directly attributable to lightning induced transients on control lines. (Author)
