Overview

• The aircraft departed Los Angeles at 23:21 UTC and held over the Pacific for nearly an hour before touching down on runway 25L at 1:00 UTC with the RAT extended.
• The Ram Air Turbine automatically deployed beneath the fuselage to supply critical hydraulic and electrical power after a significant onboard systems fault.
• Despite the emergency activation, the flight crew maintained control and taxied the Dreamliner to its gate unaided, and all passengers disembarked safely.
• No injuries were reported and LATAM has not yet provided an official explanation for the power or hydraulic failure.
• The incident follows a July 25 United Airlines 787-8 diversion for engine trouble and has intensified scrutiny of Boeing 787 operational reliability.
