Special thanks to @AIRLINEVIDEOS for capturing this event

A LATAM Boeing 787 Dreamliner departing Los Angeles for Santiago, Chile, had to return to LAX after a serious in-flight issue caused its Ram Air Turbine (RAT) to deploy. The RAT is designed to provide emergency hydraulic and electrical power if normal systems fail — and seeing it extended mid-flight is never a routine event.

Captain Steeeve breaks down what happened during this flight: the hold off the coast, the fuel dump, the safe landing on runway 25L, and what it means when the RAT pops out on a modern aircraft like the 787. Was this an engine problem? An electrical fault? And how do pilots handle this type of emergency?

Join us as we analyze the incident, explain how the RAT works, and put this dramatic return into context.
