This is a synopsis for the repair of the C-5 Ram Air Turbo pump (RAT) is used to provide pressure to the No. 2 hydraulic system for limited flight control use in the event of an in flight emergency such as a multiple engine failure. The RAT, which is located in the forward portion of the left main landing gear pod, consists of a pressure pump and a six-bladed turbine which drives a fixed displacement hydraulic pump. The RAT pump is critical to the emergency operation of the No. 2 hydraulic system, which controls all the flight controls on the C-5. Failure to repair and produce serviceable assets will cause grounding of C-5 aircraft.
