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.
