Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report indicating that, during an operational test of a ram air turbine (RAT), the RAT did not deploy in automatic mode. We are issuing this AD to prevent non-deployment of the RAT, which, if preceded by a total engine flame-out, or during a total loss of normal electrical power generation, could result in reduced control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
This AD affects the ADs specified in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) of this AD. (1) AD 2012-21-19, Amendment 39-17235 (77 FR 65812, October 31, 2012) (“AD 2012-21-19”).
