Good point Crash n Burn.

Accidental resetting could happen. Finally someone with some real reason.

For the record I have had the wrong c/b ty rapped many times, as Jarse said, I have noticed and it has never been a problem, it just worries me the one time I don't notice, that's all.

Sometimes during the day the Engineer comes down to the aircraft to see if he can fix the problem and then can't, his mind isn't on picking the right c/b, his mind is on the problem. Engineers aren't super human and do make mistakes, sometimes.
(I am a engineer aswell so I am not taking the piss out of anyone)

Voodoo.... Only one other pilot drives my machine, in the future two, but we have a good communication system to make sure that each pilots knows about snags.

I have never cut a c/b tie wrap without knowing the full reason it is tie wrapped in the first place, so I would never advise someone to just cut off any tie wraps they come accross, although I would advise to allways find out why they are tie wrapped.
