Protect Aircraft Static Wicks During Ground Operations

Aircraft static wicks, also called static dischargers, extend from the trailing edges of wings and control surfaces. Their exposed position can make them vulnerable to accidental contact during inspections, maintenance, washing, towing, and other ground operations.

The Safeway Aviation 7101-6 Wick-Tector provides a simple way to cover compatible static wicks while the aircraft is parked. Each red vinyl sleeve slides over the static discharger to create a visible protective barrier. This helps alert pilots, mechanics, passengers, and ground crews to the location of the wick while reducing the risk of bumps, damage, or personal injury from an exposed component.

Every protector includes a highly visible 16-inch Remove Before Flight flag. The warning streamer helps ensure the static wick covers are noticed during preflight inspection and removed before the aircraft is operated.

The 7101-6 package contains three protectors with 6-inch red vinyl sleeves. This model is intended to fit Dayton-Granger part number 16920. Aircraft owners and maintenance personnel should confirm the installed static wick manufacturer, part number, dimensions, and application before ordering.

Choose the Safeway Aviation Wick-Tector static wick protector pack from Pilots HQ for a practical aircraft ground-safety accessory that combines static discharger protection with a clear visual flight reminder.
