Have you ever had to do this mid-flight?
- jaywalk 7y agoAll of the circuit breakers are in the cockpit for a reason.

- hailwren 7y agoI worked in aviation for a while. This is super common. There isn't a pilot on the planet who hasn't turned avionics off in flight (there are always redundant and backup systems). There probably isn't a working pilot in the world that hasn't had to cycle a circuit breaker in flight this month. Edit: Well, if this was a normal month.
- chrischattin 7y agoOh yeah. Many times. But, it's not as scary as it sounds. There are multiple redundancies and backup systems. So, you can cycle something on/off without touching the other systems. It's often a step in abnormal procedures checklists. This article is turning a routine checklist/maintenance item into scary sounding clickbait.
