CB's & ReSet Switches.
Insider Trader, you misunderstood my question. I asked if the original question related to "Re-setting" (as in re-setting a tripped CB) or simply "Cycling" it (as in manually tripping and re-setting). As a former F/E I would like $10 for every time tripping and re-setting a system CB resulted in getting a system back in operating condition. (I would have been able to retire even earlier than I did) The only real riders I put on my actions were that I had to be sure I knew what the effect would be on the aircraft and that I fully advised the Captain of what I wished to do and why. It was then his call. As for CB's NEVER BEING TOUCHED BY TECH CREW, many QRH checklists call for certain CB's to be tripped, and sometimes later re-set, as either an attempt to rectify a problem or isolate a fault.
