1
Q
How is static charge created on an airframe?
A
Friction between the aircraft and air molecules, snow and/or ice crystals
2
Q
What is the purpose of static wicks?
A
Facilitate the discharge of static electricity
3
Q
What is bonding?
A
Ensuring all parts of the aircraft are electrically connected
4
Q
What does bonding prevent?
A
Radio interference ‘crackle’ or ‘hiss’
5
Q
Why must the aircraft be grounded/earthed when on the ground?
A
To prevent a spark being generated e.g between the aircraft and a fuel nozzle
