We Make Lightning Protection Easy.
At Weather Guard Lightning Tech, our goal is to help you understand lightning protection and compliance with regulations.
Figuring out how to be compliant with FAA and international regulations is time consuming, confusing and frustrating. Many radome design engineers know they need products like lightning diverter strips to complete their design, but don’t know how to install them correctly.
We’ve started a podcast, created lots of educational resources, help docs, videos and more to help you get the job done right the first time.
Lightning Protection Resources
Here are a few of our resources to help you complete your radome designs with compliant lightning protection.
The Struck Podcast with Allen Hall
Our podcast dives into current technology in aviation, aerospace engineering and lightning protection. New episodes come out every Tuesday morning on the following platforms:
We also release short, topical clips from the podcast on YouTube.
Check out our playlist of clips on everything from inerting systems, lightning damage, radome design, electric aircraft, carbon fiber parts, and more. Watch a short clip below!
Our goal is to stay current and really go in-depth on important developments in the aviation industry.
Help Documentation on FAA Regulations, SAE Documents, Radome Design, Historical Lightning Reports and Conference Papers
We have an extensive help doc section that is packed with critical documents to help you learn more about radome lightning protection. This includes:
- Links and PDFs of presentations and research from past lightning conference papers
- Historical technical lightning reports (for reference only – these are not current)
- Radome design guidance
- SAE Document help on key papers like SAE ARP5414B, SAE ARP5416A, and SAE ARP5412B
- Historical lightning damage and incident reports
