| The probability of a lightning discharge is reciprocally proportional to the strength of the electric field the aircraft intruded. |
| The set of possible effects of a lightning discharge does not include welding of aircraft parts such as joints or bearings. |
| Because an aircraft acts as a "Faraday's cage", the magnetisation associated with a lightning discharge hardly has an effect on the magnetic compass. |
| While flying through air that is electrically charged the aircraft is likely to become a charge carrier itself and can initiate a lightning discharge. |
