RAT 5
"An RA is certainly not a type specific manoeuvre." When it comes to Airbus FBW I am afraid it is type specific. It is mandatory to switch off APs and FDs but keep the ATHR on. If you keep FDs on the ATHR will not go into speed mode and during cimb in case of Descend RA your speed will increase with possible pitch up from high speed protection activation jeopardising the escape.
