Which is why in my aircraft I am using switching breakers for anything that is
switched on and off as part of normal flight operations and fuses for
everything else. Using a switching breaker removes two electrical joints
compared with using a switch and a seperate switch and fuse/breaker.
If a breaker trips then, unless it is life critical, the breaker stays tripped
until back on the ground and the cause of the fault is located.
