[QUOTE][- I don't recall that we ever had a flameout of a FADEC engine attributed to a lightning strike./QUOTE]

About 10 years ago I flew B737NG’s for an Asian carrier, and during that time we had two incidents of lightning strikes that resulted in engines shutting down. One was on finals and the crew managed to continue to a successful landing. Getting further information about both incidents was problematic, (what happened to the auto-relight for instance), but I do recall a bulletin from Boeing that said they had addressed an issue resulting in the engines being more tolerant of lightning strikes, and the attendant airflow disruption.
