• New 2026-11-04 Safety_Information_Notice_Circuit_Breakers_EN.pdf

  This is a Safety Information Notice from ATO E-226 (16 October 2026), addressed to all flight crew including instructors, on the safe handling of circuit breakers (CBs). It explains that a tripped CB may indicate an electrical fault, so resetting it or using it as a switch can cause overheating, fire, arcing or a wrong-CB error. It sets rules for flight training (no pulling CBs to simulate failures or to disable warnings), for a tripped CB found before flight, for in-flight malfunctions and emergencies (checklist only, at most one reset attempt), and for reporting after the flight. A final section on the Tecnam fleet strictly prohibits pulling the stall warning CB to silence the horn and explains what to do if the stall warning malfunctions. Students need it for every preflight inspection, for all flights in the Tecnam fleet, for training in abnormal and emergency procedures, and whenever a warning, a tripped CB or an electrical problem appears.

  This is an ATO E-226 safety information note dated 16 October 2026 on the safe handling of circuit breakers (CBs), addressed to all flight crew including flight instructors. Its purpose is to prevent improper manipulation of CBs during instruction and when managing malfunctions or emergencies. It covers why routine resetting is dangerous, what must not be done during instruction, what to do if a tripped CB is found pre-flight, how to handle electrical malfunctions in flight, post-flight reporting, and a specific section on the Tecnam fleet's stall warning system. A student needs this before any flight in the school's aircraft, especially Tecnam types, and in lessons involving system failures, electrical emergencies, pre-flight inspection and stall-warning checks.
