Lightning Protection Requirements for Aircraft - A Proposed Specification (Revised Issue 1)
Abstract
This memorandum is the RAE/FS8 recommendation for a specification to define UK MOD requirements for the lightning protection of aircraft. It has been written to be appended to a JAC paper proposing changes to the lightning content of DEF STAN 00-970 and is in five parts covering background and advisory material, certification, design and testing requirements. This memorandum has been prepared as an essential step in the production of a JAC paper recommending changes to the lightning content of DEF STAN 00-970. The document has been written to the direction of RAE/FS(F)8 and in its final form will give RAE recommendations for a new specification which will define Great Britain MOD requirements (Design, Test and Certification) for the lightning protection of UK Military Aircraft. This specification provides the design and evaluation requirements to ensure that UK Military aircraft comply with the lightning protection requirements of DEF STAN 00-970. It shall apply to all fixed and rotary wing aircraft as decided by the Aircraft Project Director.
