Regarding the automatic activation of the emergency Ram Air Turbine (RAT) system on an Air India Dreamliner during its last approach to Birmingham last week, just seconds before landing at 400 feet, India has contacted Boeing for clarification.
In order to prevent a repeat, the US aerospace company has also been required to submit preventive measures.Boeing remained silent about the issue. On October 4, the Boeing. recommended maintenance was performed on the B-787 Dreamliner (VT-ANO) AI117 in Birmingham for uncommanded RAT deployment.
On Monday morning, the aircraft flew nonstop to Delhi's IGI airport as no anomaly was found and it was approved for use.
In a letter to the Aviation Ministry, DGCA, and Aircraft Accident Investigation Board, which is looking into the June 12 AI Dreamliner disaster in Ahmedabad, the Federation of Indian Pilots is requesting that all B787s in the nation have their electrical systems thoroughly inspected.
As a last resort emergency power system, RAT deploys in the event of a total electrical failure, a hydraulic failure, or a dual engine failure, according to senior pilots. In this instance, RAT deployed even though nothing happened.
