Abstract In 1995, in response to the lightning community's desire to revise the zoning criteria on aircraft, the Electromagnetic Effects Harmonization Working Group (EEHWG) decided that lightning attachments to aircraft causing damage should be studied and compared to the then valid zoning classification per Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular AC 20-53A. The primary function of the EEHWG is to harmonize the environments that aircraft are being subjected in both the North American and European environments. A Lightning Task Group was formed in EEHWG, and strike data were solicited from almost all major airframe manufacturers in North America and Europe. After these responses were received, this report was prepared for the general EEHWG committee.
