The company I work for specifically does not permit this to happen - my understanding is that it is partly to allow deliniation between an actual issue and simulated. The discussions ive had from checkies with regards to failures/circuit breakers out etc have all had the same benefit as them pulling a breaker.
However, imagine the situation - they pull a circuit breaker on the pressurisation control as part of a check, its identified and reset... but the system faults out. It'd be a bit hard to explain that in the report.
