Re: Ram Air Turbine

The ram air turbine loses power when you fly slowly

It produces less when travelling slowly - it is still generating, and the aircraft is still responsive.

In the example you cite, the pilots would probably have been better off putting the nose down a bit and gaining some extra speed anyway.
