I haven't looked, but are there CB that can be pulled to
fail components of the G1000 package?

There are but our procedures prohibit us from pulling them. I"m not
sure if Cessna things it can be bad to pull them in flight or what the
reason is.

When I took the factory training they said "they're circuit breakers,
not switches."

That's not so obvious though. When training in the Mooneys the
procedure is to pull the gear actuator breaker to ensure the student
not only puts the gear down but also checks that its down. In most
cases the students notice the lack the Mooney "thud" sounds when the
gear locks down. However, pulling the gear warning horn is prohibited.
So there are cases where CFIs are instructed to pull breakers.
