From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
The attitude towards resetting any tripped CBs in flight changed radically in the civil airline world after the Swissair crash near Halifax.

For example, although it is sometime permitted to pull and reset certain specific CBs to 'reboot' some systems, it is never acceptable to reset a tripped CB in flight in most modern airliners.

On the military large aircraft program in which I'm involved, I asked whether a 'once only' reset of a CB was acceptable in flight. The answer from the OEM was an emphatic "NO!"

What is the current RAF teaching?
