Thumbs up

B757 & 767 use then too,
jolly useful they are too..
check out the canadian incident when
a 767 ran out of fuel,
the RAT provides essential hydraulic
pressure to maitain flight control
authority, which is really rather a nice thing to have when the donkeys have just quit
& the hyd' press' is falling !!!

thumbs up for RATS I say...

todays thought...
who tested Orville &
Wilbur Wright for their type rating & base checks ??? *****
