Module 5. Digital techniques / Electronic instrument systems

An aircraft may have been HIRF affected.

  • A full wiring loom check needed.
  • A static wick check is required.
  • A bonding load check is required.

Explanation

Static dischargers (wicks) bleed off accumulated charge and are part of the aircraft's protection against radiated and static energy, so after a possible HIRF event their condition is checked. A full bonding-load or complete wiring-loom check is far more extensive than the routine inspection called for in this case.

After aircraft been affected by HIRF (high intensity radio fields) static wicks have been used to "throw off" the static charge. When this happens, there is a chance that static charge that have been thrown off have been large and thus static charge spark may have been quite large and there is quite large chance that it may have been burned that wick.
