All Other Airplane Systems........................................... CHECK
Check all airplane instrument following a panel scan sequence to
ascertain that flight safety prevails.
The display colors may be changed, however the display
information remains valid.

arises after a lightning strike. Consider discontinuing the flight and land

ON GROUND OPERATIONS
ON THE GROUND
Approaching and landing an airplane during a thunderstorm is strongly
not recommended. The human body may provide the grounding that is
otherwise lacking. If you are in the cockpit, do not attempt to
communicate with ground through a wire handset, and stay inside the
airplane until the storm has passed.
IF THE AIRPLANE HAS BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING

throughout the whole airframe.
Verify for loose, melted or missing rivets.
Check that all static dischargers are in place or in accordance with the
CDL.
Verify the integrity of the lights installed on tail, wing, fuselage and
landing gear.
Verify all antennas, ice detectors, pitot tubes, angle-of-attack vanes,
TAT probes and static ports for condition.
Report to maintenance personnel any detected damage or failure.
Perform SECTION 05-50-01 (AMM) for detailed procedures to carry
out a general inspection after a lightning strikes the airplane. Make
sure that these procedures are carried out before flying the airplane
