Presumably you refer to the new USB-C Apple Pencil - that features a built-in USB-C port.


The tags appended to your post suggest that your iPad Air has iPadOS 16 installed. To use the new Apple Pencil with your iPad, you must update your iPad to iPadOS 17.1.


Once your iPad has been updated, to pair your Pencil with your iPad, the Pencil must be connected to the iPad with a USB-C cable. Once paired and charged, you can disconnect and use the Pencil.
