Engines, thank you for the partial clarificaion. A true source of fact as ever. I was getting the impression that manual landings in the B couldn't be done or were too diff.
ftrplt, there is a difference between losing a FBW channel (or two or whatever) and losing the link that controls the landing. Reversionary modes in all FBW aircraft are just fun. Autoland on a carrier kicking out doesn't sound like fun to me.
