India, Oct. 6 -- The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday launched a probe after the unexpected deployment of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) system of an Air India flight.

Officials earlier told HT that the DGCA will be investigating the incident. "The matter requires detailed investigation. An officer from directorate of sir safety (NR) has been assigned this investigation," a DGCA official told HT.

The RAT system is an emergency system that is activated automatically when an aircraft loses power.

On Saturday, an Air India flight going from Punjab's Amritsar to England's Birmingham encountered a serious mid-air scare after the Boeing 787 Dreamliner saw the unexpected deployment of its Ram Air Turbine (RAT) during landing.
