A10 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014 GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE WWW.GREENBAYPRESSGAZETTE.COM Nash, Walter A. "Skip Jahnke, Wayne R. FAA to check airport towers following lightning strike -S By Jessica Gresko Associated Press WASHINGTON A lightning strike that injured an air traffic controller in Baltimore has exposed a potential vulnerability at airport towers during storms and is prompting the Federal Aviation Administration to inspect hundreds of U.S. towers, The Associated Press has learned. The agency will look for problems with the lightning protection systems for airport towers, where air traffic controllers do the vital job of choreographing the landings and takeoffs of tens of thousands of flights each day.

The FAA spoke about the planned assessments of the towers' lightning protection systems after responding to a Freedom of Information Act re quest about the Sept. 12, 2013, lightning strike at the BaltimoreWashington International Thur-good Marshall Airport. The FAA said that the accident was "the first of its kind in FAA history," and that the agency plans on "assessing the condition" of lightning protection systems at the 440 air traffic control towers it is responsible for across the country. Because of their height, airport towers have a greater chance of being struck by lightning, and tower designers plan for the bolts. Towers are built with lightning rods and wiring to direct the electrical current from a strike harmlessly into the ground.

That protects the tower and equipment from damage and protects the air traffic controllers working inside.
