Narrative

DURING ENRTE DSCNT AN ALTERNATING CURRENT PHASE CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPED. PROCS STATED THAT THE AFFECTED CIRCUIT BREAKER BE LEFT IN THE TRIPPED POS AND TO CONTINUE FLT WITH AFFECTED SYS INOP. AS STATED IN THE OPS MANUAL; THE LNDG GEAR INDICATOR POS LIGHTS WOULD BE INOP WITH THIS CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPPED. (THE LNDG GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY.) A VISUAL INSPECTION WAS MADE TO CONFIRM THAT ALL GEARS WERE DOWN AND LOCKED. A LOGBOOK ENTRY WAS MADE CONCERNING THE AFFECTED A CIRCUIT BREAKER. THERE WAS NO PROB WITH THE LNDG GEAR ITSELF. SEEMS THERE WAS A MISINTERP TO THE NATURE OF OUR MALFUNCTION. THE CAPT REQUESTED TURNING ROOM TO MAKE A 360 DEG TURN IN ORDER TO MAKE ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO VISUALLY CONFIRM A DOWN AND LOCKED POS OF EACH GEAR. THE TWR OR APCH CTL MAY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE NATURE OF OUR PROB AS A GEAR MALFUNCTION; WHILE IN ACTUALITY IT WAS A POPPED CB WHICH DISABLED THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ONLY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 269443: KENNEDY TWR OFFERED CFR EQUIP; WE DECLINED AS UNNECESSARY; BUT GOT IT ANYWAY.
