Does the script require the aircraft to enter the cell or just receive a lightning strike?
Answer to the first part: No
Answer to the second part: Yes
That is why I asked the question. It seems from the responses to my original question there is a lot of wiggle room. Some pilots responded that proper flight planning and judicious fuel consumption and or loading you could avoid the thunderstorms. Others have responded that they have been struck by lightning.
I hope the above is not too confusing.
