The purpose of this AIR is to acquaint the aerospace industry with problems in attaining electromagnetic compatibility on gas turbine engines, particularly as used in aircraft. It is also the purpose of this AIR to present guidelines for the application of EMC controls to the engine, to its components which of necessity must operate in very hostile environments and to its interface with the aircraft.
Rationale
The content of this technical report has been superseded by ARP60493 and ARP5583. This document does not specifically address the major concepts associated with modern turbine engine designs. For example, engine ignitor circuits are a significant source of conducted and radiated impulsive electromagnetic signals, but the document does not address any design or mitigation concepts for the ignitor circuits. Most modern turbine engines use full authority electronic engine controls, but these are not specifically addressed in this document. Finally, electromagnetic compatibility of the engine cannot be separated from electromagnetic compatibility of the aircraft in which the engine is installed. Electromagnetic compatibility cannot be handled for the turbine engine separately from the aircraft electromagnetic compatibility.
It also does not address the issues of integrated electromagnetic compatibility for all engine electrical and electronic systems, such as sensors, electronic engine controls, thrust reverser controls, engine control generators, such as PMAs, and the integration of the engine with the aircraft.
This document focuses on test methods associated with early versions of MIL-STD-461, and makes no mention of civil electromagnetic compatibility standards, such as RTCA/DO-160 and ARP60493. It makes no mention of other electromagnetic environments, such as lightning and HIRF, that should be considered in the overall engine electromagnetic environment.
ARP60493 provides more up-to-date information on integrated aircraft electromagnetic compatibility and ARP5583A provides more up-to-date information on HIRF.
It is the duty of the AE-4 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Committee to produce advisory materials for the aerospace community in the following areas: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), and High Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) environments
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
