RATC switch Airbus 32x

Hi y'all,

Can anyone identify this button. Found just to the side of the side stick controller hidden under the side window both sides. Asked the engineers/captains etc no one knows. I assume it has some kind of ATC function, the only thing I can think is it could be a new 7500 system - I see no reason to have a button so well hidden. (labeled inop btw) The button is labeled 'RATC.' Otherwise something to do with CPDLC and no where else to put the button?

Cheers.

Correct. Dont try testing it as it can only be reset on the ground!
