Deployment
Manual | press the RAT MAN ON pushbutton |
Automatic (controlled by HSMU) | - if both engines fail - low level in the green and yellow hydraulic reservoirs - low level in the green and blue hydraulic reservoirs |
The RAT must not be deployed on the ground.
When deployed, the outboard ailerons go to damping mode to reduce demand. This will cause aileron up-float.
