7. Circuit Breaker Panel Flashcards
What is the difference between a green CB and a black CB?
o Green CBs are monitored by the FWS. If a green CB is out for more than 1 minute, then an ECAM will be generated.
o Black CBs are not directly monitored by the FWS. In this case the component protected by a black CB is monitored directly by the FWS.
What is the significance of CBs with red caps?
WTB CBs. We never reset these CBs.
Explain the Allegiant CB reset policy.
o Do not reset a tripped CB in flight.
o On the ground: only reset a CB under the direction of maintenance. Only attempt 1 reset.
o NOTE: Captain can exercise emergency authority and reset a CB, if necessary, for the safe continuation of the flight. Always allow a 5‐minute cooling period and ensure a logbook write‐up has been completed.
