Hi all,
In this months Sport Aviation, mention was made about the problem of static
build up in composite aircraft when flying in clouds. Apparently this is
due to the water molecules passing over the aircraft skin.
Most of my IFR flying consists of "pop on top", but I have had a few times
when I have been flying in very mild conditions in side clouds for up to an
hour at a time.
Given that I intend to certify my Europa for IFR I was wondering if I need
to be giving some consideration to how I might discharge static build up.
Any one have some knowledge or experience on this topic ?
Thanks, Paul (363)
