Its a generic SAIB, not type specific to Beech..

Yep, not Beech specific but stumbled across it in my reading. I'll have to sign up for that, I would think somewhere on the FAA web pages.
 
Help me with reading comprehension skills.

In the SAIB, a pilot had a fire because he reset a CB, which had been previously pulled because a fire was starting.
The SAIB has all sorts of officious suggestions on ascertaining Essential Equipment, doing a Load Analysis, and stuff like "one airspeed indicator with a heated pitot tube and an altimeter"

But no where in there do I see the two Common Sense Items that would answer this with ridiculous efficiency.

1. If you get smoke which goes away when you pull a breaker, do not reset the breaker!!
2. Tell the next guy!!

No; we have to put an engineer on the task, spend a week working up an SAIB with threats of an AD, and.....totally miss the point!!
 
If you like the post office, you're going to love social security.

The procedure for not resetting a popped CB started in the airlines a few years ago. Basically unless an Alternate Procedure or Abnormal Checklist calls for resetting, leave it alone.

The accident cited in the SAIB was the NASCAR Cessna 310 that crashed in Sanford, FL.
