Popped C/Bs

ALL manufacturers and ALL operating carriers (usually) have clearly stated procedures for addressing C/B fault indicators. Some allow a reset and some say hands-off. To a degree, it depends upon what service or function the C/B is protecting. For a non-essential function, I'd leave it alone. For a truly essential function especially during a critical phase, might have reset ONE time, even if violating SOP. Never forget: when engines run, Capt. controls all and may fudge a few SOPs if justified. A second reset? Probably not. At least during the first attempt, remember that C/Bs themselves can and do fail. Dirt, corrosion happen.
As for tagging, collaring, logging and notifying Mx engineers, pocket-note it until parked. With or without the essential service, you still have an airplane to fly!
