DISCHARGER,ELECTROSTATIC (P/N 14480) - As Removed

The 14480 is an electrostatic discharger (static wick) that dissipates precipitation static charge from aircraft airframes. Installed on trailing edges of wings and control surfaces, this component prevents static buildup that can interfere with radio and navigation system performance. The discharger features a high-resistance discharge element conforming to MIL-DTL-9129 specifications.

Secure bonding to the airframe is essential for proper operation. Installation and testing must follow FAA AC 43.13-1B and the aircraft's approved maintenance data. Used on general aviation and commercial aircraft to maintain clear communications during flight.
