The A-10 -1 (flight manual) specifically stated that a manual reversion, single-engine landing hadn't been tested and may NOT be possible. It recommended ejection, which should have done in 0197's case.


Are you looking at an early edition of the -1?
Mine states:
Manual Reversion Flight Control System.
The MRFCS is an emergency system for use when dual hydraulic failure is impending or has occurred. The mode is adequate for executing moderate manouvers and for safe return to base and landing.
