Acknowledging the damages and potential consequences from lightning strikes, flight safety authorities all over the world continuously update their requirements and standards on lightning protection engineering for aircrafts.

This training course will cover careful details on how to protect the aircraft’s exterior down to protection of its sensitive components (eg. electronics and fuel system) to ensure safe flight and critical functions are in tact, withstanding any lightning strike encounter.

Hence, engineers must be constantly updated with these developments to ensure that aircraft lightning protection practices are at par with the best standards. Key to achieve this is a comprehensive understanding of how to deal with direct and indirect effects of lightning interaction with aircraft structures and systems. This includes knowing the most up-to-date information on susceptibility of structures and avionics to lightning strikes and how effective protection can be provided.

With latest contents relevant to current and future aerospace vehicles, and their certification – participants bring back with them invaluable learning by:

• Understanding the Fundamentals of Lightning and Static Electrification of Aircraft and their Effects on Structures and Systems
• Understanding the Regulations and Lightning Protection Standards and their Interpretation
• Applying Effective Techniques and Best Practices for Lightning Protection Design
• Certifying Lightning Protection Designs for New Aircraft, Modifications & Upgrades
• Understanding the Implications of Lightning on UAVs, Aerostats and Airships as well as Fixed and Rotary Wing Aircraft
