The authors consider the dependence of probability indices of flight safety determined by lightning discharges hitting aircraft as a whole and its individual elements on statistical characteristics of storm activity and lightning parameters. A relationship is derived between the level of risk which characterizes the probability of an unfavorable outcome of flights as a result of lightning hitting elements of the aircraft, and the reliability of lightning protection. It is shown that the reliability of lightning-protection systems of different elements of aircraft can be predetermined for various types of aircraft and different operating conditions with respect to the normalized level of risk.
