This app provides the pilot of TBM aircraft manufactured by Socata a "quick" reference guide to the circuit breaker panel that is installed in the cockpit of the aircraft. In times of emergency it may be required for the pilot to "pull" a circuit breaker that will reduce the amount of current that is required by the battery in the aircraft. Two modes are available, and can quickly be changed by double tapping the screen. The app will "remember" which aircraft and which panel you have previously selected.
