do you consider FADEC manual to be an emergency or abnormal?
I consider it an abnormal as I did not find it all that difficult to deal with. Far easier than, say, hydraulics out.

Reading between your lines however, the accident I made reference to in my previous post was not a simple FADEC failure with a reversion to manual (and perhaps not a FADEC failure at all) as the engine either rolled back to idle or quit according to some close to the situation. From what I understand, no amount of throttle manipulation would have restored power (and the pilot is said to be very experienced overall and in the 407).
