Like I said, I'm no systems expert and don't know how the
CADC and Thrust Rating Computers utilizes the information
it gets from the RAT probe. However, I assume that feeding
these computers with the wrong/none information on temperature
could influence thrust output and airspeed readings/settings etc
which could end up in a stall as it appears has happened here.

Maybe some of the experts can comment on that.

Maybe the RAT inlet got blocked somehow.
Some ground crew left their lunch box in there, tools, gloves, bird - who knows.
Could this trigger the warning light if the airflow got blocked?
