8/2/02 - FADEC equipped Lancair IV-P takes a lightning
strike.
The Lancair IV-P aircraft in which the Aerosance PowerLink™
FADEC system is being tested received a real world lightning strike,
in flight test approaching Mobile's Brookly Field the Saturday before
Oshkosh. The strike occurred on half mile final at an altitude of
approximately 500 feet. TCM test pilot, Philip Grice, said, "
I saw the storm about two miles ahead at the far end of the runway
but I was in the clear on final. I saw a bright flash and thought
to myself that was pretty close but there was no other indication.
The engine ran well throughout. It didn't miss a beat. I didn't
realize we'd been hit until I got out and saw the small hole in
the wing root and the static wick holder separation on the right
wing tip. "
After replacing a few "welded screws" and thoroughly
inspecting the airframe Philip brought the airplane to Oshkosh for
display.
Aerosance president, Steve Smith remarked: "The PowerLink
FADEC has been tested to lightning levels that far exceed those
required even for composite aircraft so it was no real surprise
that it performed flawlessly. It's just very unusual to get a strike
in the flight test program where you can get data. We're very pleased
but have not suggested to Phillip he try it again! Yet."
The IV-P is on loan from Lancair to evaluate the high altitude
performance of the turbo-charged FADEC controlled engine, a TSIO-550E.
Engine testing has included successful operation to 30,000 feet.
