Major strikes This paper examines how lightning is formed, when it is most that cause severe damage are less frequent, but also likely to occur in the aviation environment, a methodology correspondingly much more costly (see chart below). There for determining storm cell electrifi cation and guidelines for is much about lightning formation that remains a mystery, but lightning strike avoidance. enough is known to provide guidelines that will aid pilots in Figure 1, (a) Video frame of a lightning strike to an aircraft on takeoff Figure 1, (b) Video frame of a lightning strike to an aircraft after takeoff from the Kamatzu Air Force Base on coast of the Sea of Japan during from San Francisco International Airport.

Extent: Fuselage penetration, 8 holes over 2 feet, each hole about 1/8” diameter. 2. Cost of repair: 100 Mhrs x $60/Mhr = $6,000 + $ 2,000 Materials = $8,000 3. Elapsed time: 3 days: $60,000 x 3 = $180,000 lost Revenue opportunity + Airport Parking Charges = $5,000
