Hang about, I thought that 'under no circumstances' were we to EVER touch a circuit breaker. I was under the impression that only a ground engineer was allowed to reset a circuit breaker, and only on the ground.
Maybe I am not seeing the sarcasm, you are joking, aren't you? I knew a guy who once left the controls, without an autopilot, whilst single pilot, for 20 second stints until he had managed to remove a floor panel with a leatherman, locate a hydraulic line and then cut through it resulting in a huge mess, at least the gear came down though. I never did ask how he knew to do that, I can only assume he vigilantly completed tech quizzes so as well as knowing the colour of light a pushbutton will illuminate, he also knew which hydraulic line to cut in the event the gear was hydraulically locked up and unable to freefall.
