Lightning protection - Alarmist?
Dear Starbear and others
Fortunately everyone is afforded the opportunity to express their opinion.
Please call me an alarmist - but please explain how bonding can "prevent" several thousand megavolt from damaging the intricate electronics of modern aircraft?
I have experience in the field of trying to protect electronic equipment from electrical surge such as lightning and other transient voltages.
Let me re-state : "Bonding (and earthing on the ground) does help to limit damage but the idea that it will protect? - I think that opinion is as alarming as my opinion as it might lead to people thinking they don't need to be as vigilant."
There is just too much we still have to learn - while a lot has been learned over the past century - we are still only seeing the tip of a humongous ice-berg floating accros the northern sea waiting to cripple and sink another Titanic.
So sorry for being an alarmist - but I'd rather be safe than sorry - and have to explain to investigators why something has occurred?
Greetings
