The incident happened on October 4, 2025, when Air India Flight AI-117, a Boeing 787-8 (VT-ano) working from Amritsar to Birmingham, experienced an unexpected deployment of the Ram Air Turbine (gear) at a height of 400 feet during landing. The pilots reported no problems, and the plane ended up safe without incident. “Further investigation is in process” regarding the deployment of rats, the official said, “further investigation is underway.” The rat is a critical safety device that deployed in emergencies, such as electrical or hydraulic errors, to provide backup. Boeing said that maintenance actions were carried out for incompetent rats deployment, and that there was no difference.
