Thats a bit better!

But are you certain" airbus will spin out of sky uncontrollably"

Airbus have already said they could add an option for the RAT to be manually deployed by cable from flight deck. (in the same way as another airbus, think they said A330 but not sure)

Assuming RAT deploys either manually by cable or by the standard automatic deployment, are you saying airbus will definately "spin out of sky" and if so can you back this up with any technical opinion.

I wouldn't be so sure that NEMP/DEW will never be a factor for civilian aircraft. For example, Iran recently made threats in Israel's direction. Never say never! who knows whats is in store for the world in the next few years.

FYI with 10,000 hours and 20 years flying experience, I think on a good day with a bit of luck i could pull off a double engine failure in the situation you describe. But at least the possibility of survival exists!

Thank you
