## Discrepancy

WHILE EN ROUTE TO DCA, THE AIRCRAFT WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED ON TO DCA AND LANDED WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS.  OUTSTATION MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND A FERRY FLIGHT WAS APPROVED TO DAY FOR REPAIRS.  DAY MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A LIGHTNING STRIKE INSPECTION PER DORNIER MM 05-51-02.  LEFT PROPELLER AND ENGINE GEARBOX WAS REPLACED DUE TO DAMAGE FROM THE STRIKE.  THE LEFT WING TIP WAS REPLACED AND THE LEFT FLAP RECEIVED A REPAIR AS A RESULT OF DAMAGE FROM THE STRIKE.  OPERATION CHECKS WERE COMPLETED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
