SH circuit breakers?
My D-2 has recently decided it would be interesting & exciting to blow the gear horn, even though the spoilers are locked (with gear up). If this were to happen while airborne, my only recourse would be to pull the U/C circuit breaker. SH has recently started using new little circuit breakers that I am not familiar with and for the life of me I can't pull them out! How do I pop the new CB's? What am I missing?
Help, JJ |

Unfortunately they are resettable fuses, not circuit breakers. They are not designed to be pulled manually.

So essentially, they are saying JJ, you need to install a switch

Look for switch misalignment in the airbrake system that causes false alarms?

I had the same issue, gear down and locked + spoilers out = Gear horn. Luckily I was on downwind, and I didn't have to listen to the horn blaring away for very long. The guys on the ground could hear it in the background as I made my landing position calls on the radio, and they kept giving me check my gear warnings over the radio.
Now, there is one panel mounted fuse on my panel, and it's for the gear horn. If one of those proximity switches falls off again in flight I can unscrew the cap, pull the fuse, and make it stop. I thought the panel mounted fuse was better than a switch, in that it was less likely to be turned off (and left off) by mistake. SF |
