An aircraft went tech the other day because of a lightning strike. and has left me wondering a few things
1. What is it like in the flightdeck? is there a blinding white light followed by chaos or do a few warning lights come on and the flightdeck are put into action to work through any warnings?
2. Whats it like from the cabin, again is it a bright flash followed by being pitched into darkness and mass passneger panic or what ???????????????
3. What problems are associated with lightning strikes such as airframe, avionics and so on. I thought if an object had no contact with earth could not get electricuted or is it different. Any answers to explain any of the above would be greatly appreciated.
