Actually, the inrush current in most LED drivers is HUGE! The circuit behaves like a dead short. However, the duration of the inrush is very, very short, so your circuit protection typically won’t be hindered.
Still, in the commercial world where thermal/magnetic breakers are used, most engineers are not allowing circuit loading beyond 50% of the breaker rating to avoid false tripping.
I am not sure what our typical aviation suppliers breakers use for technology. Thermal only? If so, you would never get a false trip due to inrush. If they are magnetic, there is a remote possibility. I absolutely agree with you on your other statements.
