Scope
This document establishes the minimum requirements for the electrical bonding and grounding of electric, avionic, armament, communication, and electronic equipment installations for aeronautical and aerospace applications. The bonding and grounding requirements specified herein are to ensure that an adequate low resistance return path for electric, avionic, armament, communication and electronic equipment is achieved which can withstand operating conditions and corrosion. This is essential for the reduction of coupling of electromagnetic fields into or out of the equipment as well as for providing electrical stability to control the currents and/or voltages caused by static charges and discharges and for suppressing the hazardous effects thereof.
Rationale
The document is still a valid standard which may benefit from a future update. The basic technology described in the document is still valid. The subcommittee designated to update the document is not currently active, so stabilization of the document is the best approach until such time as a committee can be established to open a WIP.

Issuing Committee
AE-4 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Committee
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.
