does the A-320 have an adg?

IDG=Integrated Drive Generator. CSD+Gen=IDG.

The RAT/ADG is an all or nothing thing. Any power at all on the AC busses, the RAT stays put. Zero power on the AC busses, it deploys.

Sully's airplane had "some" power. Therefore, no RAT.

SOP's knowledge and experience will mandate such action.

What mandates trying to restart a running engine?

It's referred to as the ADG in the Boeing manuals for the 757 and 767.

RAT and ADG are interchangable terms in most applications. Note that I said most....

Who's books are you reading? I've been on the jet for 6 years and never heard of it, but that doesn't mean I pay attention.....

We have an (ADP) Air Demand Pump
and an (HDG) Hydraulic Driven Generator

Maybe I'm missing something....

Come on guys, it's so simple maybe you need a refresher course! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that ADG with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Sully hasn't shut the apu off since Cactus bought US Air

DC-10 calls it an ADG too. Air Driven Generator. But it's manually deployed.

I thought RAT was for RAM AIR TEMP.

I thought RAT was for RAM AIR TEMP.

There it is, and i thought it was for those huge furry animals left in the bird after it comes back from a heavy check in El Salvador..

At Mesa we just call it the "Trolling Motor".

Shush! Careful... you might spook the fish!

My manual for the 763ER call it a RAT, it only provides center hydraulic. Maybe the 757 is different and it provides electrical so then it is called an ADG(enerator)
