FAA lightning protection study: Lightning protection requirements for runway visual range systems
Abstract
The degree of susceptibility of Federal Aviation Administration solid state electronic systems to induced electromagnetic pulse effects due to lightning was studied, and protective devices adequate for these low voltage systems are proposed. The investigation of the protection required for Runway Visual Range equipment is covered. Identification of the susceptible components and specific recommendations for installation of protective devices are discussed.
