Narrative:
During maintenance inspection following a lightning strike, the right engine flight idle stop circuit breaker was found to be tripped. This flight idle stop system is a modification to prevent inadvertent selection of the beta range in-flight. Airworthiness directive X (inspection of circuit breaker) was complied with prior to beginning flight.
