in case you suffer double engine flame out or failure, what kind of rudder compensation do you expect? to me, watching the CCTV video, it was only wind correction slightly to the right

  • These include:
    • Left Integrated Drive Generator (IDG)
    • Right IDG
    • Left Backup Generator
    • Right Backup Generator
      Engine failure alone does not trigger the RAT, must be all of above
