Effect of aircraft being struck by lightening
Just wondering what the general effect would be on an aircraft having been struck by lightening whilst tied down or just parked on the ground. I am aiming this at predominantly light aircraft from a C172 to a B200 kind of bracket.
I have seen numerous aircraft on insurance salvage pages that are for sale as a result of a lightening strike (mainly in the US) whilst tied down. Does this render the aircraft completely unairworthy.? Does it cause significant structural effects or is there no measure of what damage may have been caused.?
Thanks for response in advance.
