^ In theory if everything functions properly then the max load required by the system will be below what the breaker is set for (ie if you have something that can pull up to 9A you may put in a 10A breaker). From what I gather all the major systems already get their own breaker, but if they have a wiring fault or happen to malfunction, they can end up tripping that breaker. There's no way to have a circuit that could "never be over loaded", under proper working circumstances no circuit should be able to be overloaded.

Well if he was going to be attempting any funky flying or memorizing a route he wouldn't exactly be able to practice those maneuvers while working, so enter the sim. This is just a random example so I make no claims that any of this would be plausible, but if he was going to be doing something like say descending as fast as possible then levelling out as low as possible to avoid radar he could run through the sim to see how far he can push the plane.
