But fuel penalty due to RAT is hardly your most pressing concern. You'll also have a LAND ASAP so should be pointing at the nearest airport. I appreciate that there may be extreme cases where you're out on a TANGO Route (UK) or something similar, but I'd be more concerned about the penalty of dropping to 10,000 ft to enable smoke removal. Either way, it would be a good day to have stayed in bed.
