I agree, Rob. We used two fuse blocks
on our 320. Saved a bunch of weight, cost and panel space. The rule we used was
this; if it was a circuit that we would consider reseting in flight...it went on
a breaker. Anything that we would NOT consider resetting in flight (nav lights,
strobe, transponder, fm radio, etc) went on a fuse. Our fuses
are not accessable in flight. Breakers pop for a reason and that reason
is usually an electrical short. Pushing in a popped breaker in flight,
especially if it's for equipment that you really don't NEED, might be putting
you flight at unnecessary risk. In almost all cases, trouble shooting
should occur on the ground...not in flight.
