Ram-Air Turbine Doors Open

If the ram-air turbine (RAT) inlet and exhaust outlet doors open in flight (indicated by an audible warning in the headset and illumination of the warning light in the landing gear handle if below 10,000 feet AGL), close the doors to stop the turbine and shut down the emergency hydraulic pump as follows:

  1. Emergency Hydraulic Pump Lever—OFF (aft)
  2. If unable to move RAT lever aft: a. Airspeed—REDUCE TO 250 KIAS— b. RAT Circuit Breaker—PULL c. Emergency Hydraulic Pump Lever—OFF (aft)
  3. If there's no other malfunction indication, leave RAT circuit breaker out and continue the mission.
  4. If you are still unable to close RAT doors, burn fuel and land as soon as practical.

Note

During RAT operation, monitor hydraulic flight control system No. 2 for pressure in exceess of allowablw maximum.
