Unsafe Condition
Hydraulic power might not be sufficient to supply the Constant Speed Motor/Generator (CSM/G) during slat/flap extension when only one engine is running, which, in conjunction with the loss of the main electrical system, could lead to the scenario where the flightcrew is not clearly warned that the electrical system has switched on the battery and thus has a limited duration that would allow a safe landing.

Required Actions
Revise the electrical emergency configuration procedure in the Emergency Procedures section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include procedures for manually deploying the ram air turbine to provide sufficient hydraulic power and avoid CSM/G shedding.
