Abstract
An apparatus for unlocking an actuator, such as a RAT actuator includes a first member; and a second member movable between a blocking position in which said second member is engaged with said first member so as to block movement of said first member and an unblocking position in which said second member is disengaged from said first member so that movement of the first member is not blocked. The first member is an arm arranged such that in the blocking position it is disposed between said second member and a lock release element of said actuator.
