Final 3 greens

Thank you but to re clarify, the question relates solely to the controllability of the aircraft, i.e. will rudder and stab work? There are many, many considerations. Agreed.

Error 404

I do not believe any calculations need to be made as we are looking at worst case scenario. Therefore for example, will NEMP/DEW affect battery? I believe not.

Your comment chances are RAT will deploy is just an opinion without any supporting reasoning/information. What would be helpful is a reason why the chances are the RAT will deploy.

Therefore I believe the individual components of the RAT deploy system need to be looked at. For example;

Battery not sure/ unaffected by NEMP/DEW
deploy switch not sure
wire to solenoid ditto
solenoid not sure
spring in solenoid unaffected possibly
etc, etc

Of course, i dont have a clue about the RAT system, this is just an example. And if I had done an airbus course, I doubt very much if course would discuss effect on NEMP/DEW on RAT system.

Once again, I am only trying to discover the effect on the flight controls, and the answer needs to be supported by some sort of reasoning. not just an opinion.

Thank you.
