Most aircraft lightning strikes occur in conditions crews don’t recognize — operational and design implications A new analysis finds most lightning strikes against aircraft happen in weather flight crews do not identify as hazardous, calling into question detection, operational awareness and existing airframe protection assumptions. The result has direct implications for procedures, crew training and aircraft design standards.
