Our -10 (NATOPS) has a caution about resetting the BU PUMP PWR circuit breaker and tells you to secure all AC power prior to resetting it. Most pilots I fly with claim they've never seen that. I'm disappointed, but OK with that unless it is an MTP I'm checking out. They should know stuff like that.
I try to make a big presentation of "switching hats" from IP to MTP if I encounter something that needs to be troubleshot while conducting a training flight. If it requires an MTF maneuver in the MTP checklist, I must get re-briefed. I strongly discourage pulling CBs in flight unless you a) have no better option b) really need the system back and c) are satisfied with a situation that might be worse after pulling the CB (or wrong CB).
I'm not particularly smart or talented, but I've been flying H-60s for a long time. I'm not Yoda. I'm more like Anarkin. But, I have seen a lot. For instance, I can tell you hitting RESET on the hydraulic leak test switch in flight will give you back your pilot assist servos if the system mistakenly thought there was a leak on the #2 side. I can also tell you that in other cases, where there is a leak, doing so will bleed a LOT of hydraulic fluid out of the system possibly resulting in a #2 HYD PUMP caution light. FWIW, landing unaided boost off to a CG at night isn't fun.
So yeah, leave the Yoda type stuff to the Jedi young Anarkin.
I may be misunderstanding the intent of your post, so if that's the case, my apologies, but the "trick" I'm referring to gets around having to secure all AC power and lets you reset the BU Pump by only pulling one other breaker (the BU Pump CNTR CB). This resets the 4 second delay so you don't blow the limiters.
At the time, "Yoda" knew the system well enough by actually tracing what was in NATOPS at the time and seeing how the "trick" would work. As it turns out, not only was he right, it was recognized by NAVAIR and added to the EP as a way fix the popped breaker condition without shutting down everything (and not requiring a FCP to do the procedure). Again, we may be talking past one another because of the internet, but my intent wasn't to make "Yoda" out to be just randomly coming up with his own procedures, but instead to show that he was applying system knowledge that was also vetted and added later.
I also remember "Dave/Yoda" giving me a NATOPS check with the Mission Systems completely down in the bird. He told me to fly a SAR pattern without the computer. I argued it wasn't possible. Pretty cool to see you could fly a perfect Expanding Square pattern with nothing more than Doppler mode and an 8-day clock. One of those times my world expanded and realized how all that jazz in the left seat wasn't always necessary to make the mission happen.
By the way, is Anarkin the son of Adam Arkin? Or is he the son of Allan Arkin? I can never keep that straight.
