Ah, the joys of allowing software in the cockpit.
Nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong.
And we still have no updates on that 787 crash in India...

That's the second such incident involving a 787....and both were with Air India. The earlier one involved that ugly crash a few months ago. Long story short: the plane that crashed was described as being very poorly maintained and I think we can assume the same is true with this one.
I've never flown Air India but I have *been* to India and to call it "Third World" is to give those words a whole new meaning.
To: Red Badger
The title is very misleading. It suggested a rat (democrat) was deployed (thrown out) while in flight. Until I read it, I thought it was a good news story.

This is what the RAT looks like, and wouldn't have affected the landing in any way. It is small enough to clear the runway.

I’m sure the maintenance on an Air India 787 is nothing but “top notch”.

The RAT deploys automatically when the system senses an electrical or hydraulic failure. This is pure speculation based on thousands of hours experience in Boeing aircraft but none in the 787:
Was there a large demand on the hydraulic system, such as landing gear deployment or flap extention? Low hydraulic level could cause a momentary loss of pressure.
Was this a fully coupled, fail active, autopilot ILS approach? At 1500 feet the electrical system splits to ensure power to each of the three autopilots in case of a single electrical failure. Did the system detect a momentary system failure?
Both of these could be traced to lackluster maintenance procedures. Design failure??? Nah. This system configuration has been used since the 1980s and the 757, 767, and 777. I’ve never heard of it happening before.

The RAT deploys when one or both engines stop running. It supplies bare bones electricity and hydraulics. IF it deploys when both engines are up and running, it is a computer fault….either software design, failed sensors, or faulty computers.It can affect flight control systems.
A very serious condition. The Air India crash revealed five or six previous RAT deployment events reported prior to the crash. This can be a major problem for Boeing and their woke engineering team.
