Oh dear, I almost start to feel sympathy for all those arguing for a professionals-only forum....

Yes, 'RAT' can refer to a 'Ram Air Turbine', as on Concorde.
In this case it refers to a 'Ram Air Temperature' sensor, which is simply another term for a 'TAT', i.e., 'Total Air Temperature' sensor.

Were your three earlier posts of the same calibre?
