fzzzzt, popped alternator breaker C-172M

Thanks Harry,

I flew last night with no problem but I will feel better after the new breaker is installed.

After seeing the damage reports from other folks blowing the output breaker, I am not really willing to wait and see, although
waiting until it is really broke or doing some honest test and troubleshoot would be my normal reaction.

Mike,

Had the same thing happen to me on a 172M - the circuit breaker for the ALT
went south. Once it was replaced, no further problems. Incidently, I was on
a downwind leg when it went out - made for an interesting landing - safe but
interesting :-).
