Flight Line Grounding and Bonding of Aircraft

Scope
This ARP provides the rationale and theory of charges being present on aircraft while on the ground. The necessary implementation of safety practices are explained and defined.
Rationale
The SAE AE-2 committee member comments pointn out that the static electrical bonding for aircraft practices recommended in ARP4043A provide no personnel lightning protection. Therefore, the statements in ARP4043A about the benefits of the electrical bonding practice for lightning protection are technically inaccurate. ARP4043A also conflicts with the requirements in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 407. Static electrical bonds between the aircraft and earth ground points are not permitted during aircraft fueling according to NFPA 407. No one in the AE-4 committee volunteered to revise the document. Also, it is mostly redundant with NFPa 407.

* 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.
