ABSTRACT
Earlier we said that advancements in technology
were bringing new challenges for those involved
with the operation and maintenance of modern
passenger aircraft. One of those challenges is
associated with the handling of semiconductor
devices that are susceptible to damage from stray
electric charges. This is a problem that can
potentially affect a wide range of electronic
equipment fitted in an aircraft (see Fig. 12.1) and
can have wide ranging effects, including total
failure of the LRU but without any visible signs
of damage!
