zzzztt!

Hey folks, before ya'all start tearing each others hair out, think of this: An EMP pulse will fry working ELECTRONICS if you are close enough. Basic electric stuff should survive. Batteries, for example, would still be batteries. Things that rely on electro-magnetism may have problems.
How does the RAT deploy? Not telling. How do the flight controls get commands? Not telling. Would a FBW airplane still fly?
Yes.
How?
Not telling. You either know or you don't. If you know, you are supposed to know. If you don't know:
A/ Check your flight/maintenance manual
or
B/ You have no business asking.
