What is RAT in an aircraft? Air India Amritsar-Birmingham flight encounters serious mid-air scare
An Air India flight going from Punjab’s Amritsar to England’s Birmingham encountered a serious mid-air scare on Saturday as the aircraft – a Boeing 787 – saw unexpected deployment of its Ram Air Turbine (RAT) during landing.
The incident, which revived haunting memories of the June 12 Air India crash, prompted the pilots’ union to flag the need for detailed check of the aircraft’s electrical system.
