Wipers on B777
What if it fails?
The B747 has CB's on the O'head but the B777 doesn't.
Any Ideas thoughts?? ( and yes before anyone comes up with - go somewhere dry!!! I've thought about it!)
I've heard of one that occured an the Co- pilot landed...but surely there is a chance that both could fail making a diversion inevitable!!?!
Cheers,
HSD

If you're in the right place, you can autoland so your only problem then will be finding a parking space. Bad enough at LHR in the dry!

When a wiper motor fails, whats to say that cycling a breaker is going to bring it back anyhow?
Wiper motors overheat, and cycling the breaker won't help it...only a cool-down will.

Wipers are usually on seperate circuits. Like most duplicated a/c systems. To lose one would be unfortunate. To lose both would be just careless.
