Correct Aircraft bonding is of critical importance Inadequate bonding or grounding may lead to poor performance or in the very worst case contribute to the loss of the aircraft.

Poor bonding performance may cause Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Electrostatic Discharge Damage (ESD) and lead to intermittent defects. Normal operations impose many stresses and environmental conditions on the many kilometers of Electrical Wiring. It is important that periodic inspections are performed to detect any deterioration.

Inspections should look for Abrasions, Integrity of Insulation, and Condition of all terminations and the possibility of terminal corrosion.

All Electrical Grounds must be given special attention to ensure that the bonding resistance has not increased by corrosion or the loosening of the connections.
