I'm prepearing for my first TR in about 1,5 months so I'm trying to understand all the system prior to attending the TR.

I should have written the EMER GEN NETWORK and not only the EMER GEN...

a note on page 13 Electrical sais the following:
"During RAT extension and emergency generator coupling (about 8 seconds), the batteries power the emergency generation network..." But this is only a temporary transition as far as I can understand.

Also on that page it sais:
"If the RAT stalls or if the aircraft is on the ground with speed below 100 knots, the emergency generator has nothing to drive it. The emergency network transfers automatically to the batteries and the static inverter and the system automatically sheds the AC SHED ESS and DC SHED ESS buses."

Doesnt that mean that when all options are lost to generate power, the aircraft resorts to the final source of power, the batteries?

Have you flown the aircraft a lot?

Kind Regards
Tim
