The lightning strike has been at various times encountered by aircraft in past years, which severely jeopardizes the flight safety and thus increases the operation cost and deteriorates service quality for an airline company. The fault tree analysis was adopted in this paper to systematically analyze a typical case of aircraft lightning strike. Basic events, together with the minimum cut sets and minimum path sets were resolved. It was found that the large number of minimum cut sets implied significant lightning strikes on aircraft, and special attention should be paid to the improvement of professional competence of flight dispatchers as well as the supply of newest weather information to dispatchers by air carriers. By further combining with the analysis of the structural importance of basic events, detailed procedures were proposed to prevent aircraft lightning strike, which is thus believed to be beneficial to airline industry.
