8130.2F, CHG 3, page 155: "(6) System controls (for
example, fuel selector(s) and electrical switches/breakers) are appropriately
placed, clearly marked, provide easy access and operation, and function as
intended by the builder/owner."
Also, FAR 23.1357 "Circuit protective devices" (d):
"If the ability to reset a circuit breaker or replace a fuse is essential to
safety in flight, that circuit breaker or fuse must be so located and identifed
that it can be readily reset or replaced in flight."
While Part 23 doesn't directly apply to
Experimentals, if you followed the guidelines in 1357 I don't see how an
Inspector or DAR could fault you. -Bill

Location
They have to be accessible, but not necessarily in sight. The
FAA guy who inspected my plane said I could have put them in my glove box if I
wanted to. His comment is my sole source of info.

group: Are there any regs that state where circuit breakers can be
located? I have my hydraulic pump mounted on a bulkhead behind the
co-pilot seat and would like to place the main hydraulic pump circuit breaker
on the enclosure I've built around the pump. This breaker can easily be felt
by the piot but is in a position that it shouldn't get bumped by things in the
baggage area. However, it isn't particularly visible. Are there
any regs that say that it must be visible - or is this something an inspector
might find unacceptable later?
