VME Circuit breaker

[Jsno]

I am troubleshooting some electrical shorts and am also replace my old circuit breakers due to the fact that it takes a pair of pliers to pull them.  One of them is a 2 amp breaker labeled VME.  What system is that going to?

Follow the wire and see what it is connected to.

Yes I could but I was hoping for the easy answer

Is there anything easy on a Mooney???

Did it have a radar altimeter?

No radio altimeter.  I could trace it but I am just wondering what VME stands for.

Could that be DME?

Doubtful…my panel has both a VME and DME breaker

How about Vertical Measuring Equipment--companion to Distance Measuring Equipment?

I followed the wire and it led to the Britain auto pilot.  The VME C/B is optional in the Maintenance manual.  So I just need to relabel it.
