Extract

In this paper an attempt is made to outline the hazards which can arise, with particular reference to light aircraft, due to static electricity. Accidents, some of which are described in detail later, can and do happen, yet the precautions which should be taken to reduce the dangers are very easy to carry out. These precautions are detailed in the final section of this paper and it cannot be over emphasised that the habitual use of these simple techniques could well prevent a fire from being started with the resultant loss of an aircraft and the possibility of injury or death from such a fire.
