Alert Stresses Proper ID of CBs during Emergencies
The NTSB identified several fatal accidents in which the pilot was unable to identify and pull a circuit breaker during an abnormal or emergency situation.

A new FAA Safety Alerts for Pilots provides guidance to flight crews on the proper identification and manipulation of circuit breakers during abnormal and emergency situations. This is being published in response to NTSB Recommendation A-09-120 from 2009 that asked the FAA to require operators to implement the airframe manufacturers’ guidance regarding which circuit breakers pilots need to identify quickly and pull during abnormal or emergency situations.
