## Discrepancy

WHILE ON DESCENT INTO PIT, THE AIRCRAFT WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A LIGHTNING STRIKE INSPECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 05-51-02.  THE RIGHT HAND PROPELLER AND THE LEFT HAND WING TIP  WERE REPLACED DUE TO DAMAGE FROM THE LIGHTNING STRIKE.  FUNCTIONAL CHECKS WERE COMPLETED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
