   Actually, That's wrong. The S.A.111 accident
   was precipitated by a 'soft' fault (intermittent
   arcing at current level too low to trip breaker,
   but releasing LOTS of energy into adjacent
   combustibles).

   Unlike the hard fault for which the legacy
   breakers are designed to clear, soft fault
   detection calls for software based monitoring
   for a noise signature indicative of the soft
   fault. Kinda black magic.

   So I'll correct my earlier assertion . . . GFIs
   don't exist for aircraft. In fact, they wouldn't
   work in a system that specifically uses airframe
   ground as the return power path.
