05.14. Electromagnetic Environment.

The document outlines guidelines and best practices for maintaining HIRF (High Intensity Radiated Field) protection in aircraft, including bonding checks, shielding techniques, and testing procedures. It emphasizes the importance of proper grounding, shielding of cables, and regular inspections to prevent electromagnetic interference. Key points include ensuring low resistance in bonding checks, protecting ribbon cables, and the significance of static wicks and filters in HIRF protection.
