recommended unless specifically directed to do so in a
non-normal checklist. However, a tripped circuit breaker may
be reset once, after a short cooling period (approximately 3
minutes), if in the judgment of the Captain, the situation
resulting from the circuit breaker trip has a significant adverse
effect on safety. A ground reset of a tripped circuit breaker by
the flight crew should only be accomplished after maintenance
has determined it is safe to reset the circuit breaker. Flight
crew cycling (pulling and resetting) of circuit breakers to clear
non-normal conditions is not recommended unless directed by
a non-normal checklist. If it is determined that the circuit
breaker must be reset, turn off the affected component (if
possible), and wait 3 minutes to let the circuit breaker cool
properly prior to reset. Attempt only one reset.
WARNING: Do not reset a tripped fuel boost pump CB.
