Which risk increases when aircraft static discharge wicks degrade, affecting distributed capacitance?

💡 Explanation

When static discharge wicks degrade, distributed capacitance across the aircraft skin is compromised, altering the paths for charge dissipation and causing increased electromagnetic interference and noise in sensitive avionics. Therefore navigation system errors may occur, rather than structural damage, engine stall, or cabin fire, whose mechanisms are different.
