Element Aerospace & Defense Testing

Lightning strikes are inevitable for aircraft, making FAA-mandated testing crucial. Here are key expert tips for navigating RTCA DO-160 Sections 22 and 23: ✔️Multi-point attachment: Lightning can strike multiple areas simultaneously. This generates complex multistroke transient currents within internal cable bundles. Design with this in mind to ensure comprehensive protection. ✔️Prepare for known parameters: Familiarize yourself with the specific voltage and current levels applied during testing. This knowledge allows you to implement effective transient suppression strategies in your design. ✔️Understand test methods, including: - Direct pin injection: You'll know exact voltages and source impedances. Design your circuitry to withstand these precise conditions. - Inductive coupling: Pulses are applied to cable bundles. Consider shielding and routing to minimize impact. Pro tip: Don't underestimate the importance of cable bundle layout and shielding. Proper design here can significantly reduce the impact of induced transients. Remember: Thorough preparation based on these testing parameters is key to passing RTCA DO-160 lightning requirements and ensuring aircraft safety. #AviationSafety #LightningProtection #DO160Testing #AerospaceEngineering
