Cheers,
Our (canada) ministry of transport mails out amendments to the
Aeronautical Information Periodical (rules and regs) quarterly, accompanied
by the ASL - Air Safety Letter - which comments on recent accidents and
enlarges upon common beliefs and practices as they relate to Air safety.
The most recent edition, #1/2001, carries an article by Mike Murphy
of the Air Passenger Safety Group within the ministry. It's about "The
Deliberately Weak Link in the Electrical Cahin..." - the circuit breaker.
This carefully crafted three pages describes the device, its
purpose, its ramifications (hello SR111?) and it's positive dangers when
involved with teflon covered wire. You don't want to miss it. Details from
me - I have a Microsoft Word version and a text version and might be able to
steer you to a website one as well.
I found out my Air Force, my employer of 35 years and I all misused the
little b.....r.
Happy Landings,
Ferg A064
