Bonded to aircraft skin, it facilitates cloud avoidance. Airborne cloud detector consists of three major components: Aluminum patch durably bonded to aircraft skin, surge arrester, and dual-sensitivity charge-rate amplifier. Operation based on fact that aircraft surfaces become charged when ice or water particles strike them. Using increased gain sensitivities, cloudparticle detector reliable, noise-free, low-cost, high-sensitivity indicator of type of clouds that cause most problems for LFC aircraft at cruise altitude.
