Company Operations Manual
Chapter 6 § Aircraft Requirements
CHAPTER 6 § AIRCRAFT REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Equipment Requirements – Night VFR (702)
During night VFR flights the aircraft shall be equipped with:
§ at least 1 landing light;
§ all of the necessary current aeronautical charts and publications covering the route of the proposed flight
and any probable diversionary route; and,
§ a current database, if the aircraft is operated in night VFR flight and database-dependent navigation
equipment is used.
6.2 External Load Equipment
An external load shall not be carried unless the attachment device is authorized in a supplemental type certificate
or in an airworthiness approval relating to the operational configuration of the aircraft.
6.3 Marking and Placards
The markings or placards required by the applicable standards of airworthiness shall be affixed to the aircraft or
attached to a component of the aircraft in accordance with those standards.
6.4 Resetting of Tripped Circuit Breakers
The Flight Manual and the Maintenance Control Manual procedures and limitations shall be the basis for circuit
breaker (CB) resetting procedures.
General
There is a latent danger in resetting a CB tripped by an unknown cause because the tripped condition is a signal
that something may be wrong in the related circuit. Until it is determined what has caused a trip to occur, PICs
have no way of knowing the consequences of resetting a tripped CB.
With a CB associated with Fuel Pump Circuit or Fuel Quantity Indicating System (FQIS), special caution is
appropriate because of the possibility that arcing might lead to the ignition of fuel or fuel vapours.
The resetting of fuel boost pump and/or the Fuel Quantity Indicator CBs in-flight is not recommended unless
authorized by the aircraft manufacturer, and then only when authorized by the PIC.
The resetting of fuel boost pump and/or Fuel Quantity Indicator CBs on the ground, without first identifying the
source of the electrical fault is not recommended.
On-the-Ground
A CB tripped by an unknown cause may only be reset on the ground after maintenance has determined the cause
of the trip and has determined that the CB may be safely reset. A CB may be cycled (tripped, pulled, or reset)
where it is required to be performed within approved maintenance inspection criteria, or as part of an approved
trouble-shooting procedure, unless doing so is specifically prohibited. Resetting a CB tripped by an unknown cause
should normally be a maintenance function conducted on the ground.
