766352A - Airbus A318 Rat Outline for Airbus A318

766352A is a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) assembly supplied by Hamilton Sundstrand (now Collins Aerospace) for the Airbus A318. The RAT is a flight-critical emergency power device: on a loss of normal electrical and/or hydraulic power — for example following a dual-engine flameout or total generator loss — it deploys into the airstream and uses ram airflow to drive an emergency generator and/or hydraulic pump, restoring power to the systems needed to keep the aircraft controllable.

The A318 is the shortest member of the A320 family, and the RAT installation forms part of the aircraft's emergency electrical/hydraulic power system (ATA 24/29). The unit deploys automatically on the triggering condition and can also be deployed manually by the crew. Because it is emergency equipment that sits dormant in normal operation, the maintenance program includes scheduled deployment/functional checks, and a full functional and acceptance test is required after overhaul and on installation. The exact dash-number effectivity should be confirmed against the applicable A318 Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC).

As a safety-critical rotable, 766352A is most commonly sourced overhauled (OH) or serviceable (SV) with FAA 8130-3 or EASA Form 1 release; new units are generally available only through Airbus/OEM distribution on long lead. Given the unit's function, buyers should insist on full traceability and a recent overhaul and functional-test record.

Frequently Asked Questions about 766352A

What aircraft is 766352A used on?
It is cataloged for the Airbus A318. The Ram Air Turbine design is broadly common across the A320 family (A318/A319/A320/A321), but the specific dash-number effectivity must be confirmed against the IPC before treating a unit from another variant as interchangeable.
What condition codes are available for 766352A?
As a rotable, it is typically offered Overhauled (OH), Serviceable (SV), or As-Removed (AR). New (NE) is generally OEM-only. OH/SV units should be accompanied by a teardown/functional-test record, since the RAT must pass an acceptance test after overhaul.
What certification documents ship with 766352A?
FAA 8130-3 for US operators and EASA Form 1 for EU/UK operators, with dual release preferred. For safety-critical emergency equipment an airworthiness release is expected — a Certificate of Conformance alone is not normally sufficient for installation.
Are there interchangeable part numbers for 766352A?
No DLA FLIS / NSN cross-reference was identified for this proprietary Airbus/Hamilton Sundstrand part, so documented public equivalents are not available. Interchangeability is governed by the Airbus IPC dash-number effectivity — verify form, fit, and function against the IPC before substituting a different dash.
Does the RAT require functional testing before use?
Yes. RATs are subject to scheduled deployment/functional checks in service and to a full functional and acceptance test after overhaul and on installation. Confirm that the most recent overhaul and test records accompany the unit.
