"If the RAt is extended, you get a status reminder 'RAT OUT' on the E/WD. But RAT extended does NOT have to mean the EMER GEN is operating."
As I understand it from FCOM Vol 1 Electrical page 13, the EMER GEN can be powered by either the RAT or BATTERIES.
but you did tell me what I wanted to know by saying this:
"you get a status reminder 'RAT OUT' on the E/WD"
Thank you for your quick reply and good help =)
