There is one fact which I have already mentioned and which won't go away,
regardless
of all the various rationalisations about stability and accident statistics
in other countries.
Unless an airframe made of glass- or carbon-fibre composite incorporates metal
mesh or some other means of dissipating electrical charges, it should be flown
very far away from potential lightning.
This can only be achieved by "see and avoid" in the absence of electronic
detection
devices. Forecasts are next to useless in this context.
