Accident & incident history

2014-10-10 Incident · London Damage: Minor NTSB · ENG15IA037
Reported aircraft: Boeing 787-8
Probable cause: A shutdown of the displays due to the inability to operate through a rapid transient radiated electric field brought on by a near field lightning strike. Contributing to the loss of displays for the remainder of the flight was the lack of guidance to the crew to perform a controlled power reset to the display.
