Whilst many organisations have procedures related to Fuel Tank Safety processes, there are considerably less in respect of processes and practices related to Electrical Wiring Interconnect Systems.

What Procedures should we consider?

a) Procedures in respect of Tripped Circuit Breakers and how we will manage the associated trouble shooting activities. To ensure that Flight Crew never reset circuit breakers (or reset circuit breakers) unless the procedure is a direct “in flight” instruction driven by documentation available on board the aircraft for example as an OPS Manual procedure.

To also ensure that ground support personnel carry out trouble shooting before proceeding to reset a circuit breaker as simply resetting without additional maintenance activity may be a pre-cursor to a more serious problem and even subsequently a fire.
