## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED A LIGHTNING STRIKE EN ROUTE FROM ORF TO CLT.  CREW CONTINUED TO CLT AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT, REMOVED AND REPLACED THE RADOME ASSEMBLY AND THE LEFT AFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER TIP FAIRING.  REPAIRS WERE MADE FOR LIGHTNING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT ELECTRICAL BAY DOOR AND TO THE FUSELAGE.  STATIC WICKS WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED ON THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER.  ALL WORK WAS ACCOMPLISHED USING THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUALS AND REOS.  AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
