Wilbur ★ Posted May 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 12, 2019 Dispersing electricity back into the atmosphere. The kind that builds through static. They are called static wicks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted May 12, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 12, 2019 What Wilbur said. Also known as static dischargers. Years ago I saw a Sabreliner with not one installed. There was also a write-up in the aircraft forms about the radios having static issues. I guess the Comm/Nav tech couldn't figure it out. I had some installed and signed off the write-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
