IGh,
The two examples you mention both were ESD, not RF effects.
As to the autothrottle certification problem you quoted... I suppose you've seen my 'tale' about Concorde, where during early flight tests the a/c 'wagged its tail' during HF transmissions.
On Concorde, the HF aerials were two large slots in the vertical fin (visible on photos of the British 002 prototype, because there they were not painted for some reason) and they set up enough HF currents in the tail structure to interfere with the signals from the autostab yaw rate gyros, which were also fitted in the tail. Cured with some simple filters in the signal wires.
Apologies for the slight TD.
