Doesnt someone need to die to make an offical AD?....just kidding not really funny but it seems thats what it takes. I suppose twice should be a big red flag that something needs fixed, be it aircraft or proceedures.

You've got that right. Many (most) regulations can be traced back to accidents. The FARs are literally written in blood.

How are the flight controls acutated in that plane.

If you dead sick it in, are your hydraulics lost or are they backed up. Wondering if its tough flying manually. Isn't this "manual reversion."
 
T-1 specifics

400A,
The military T-1 has cables for all flight controls and the only fuel heater is the pilot descending when he reaches his fuel temp limit of -40C.

Most do not pay any attention to that, and the ones that have questioned it are told "It's ok, keep an eye on it". The flight planners at Flops default each flight plan to the highest known altitude of each aircraft and the pilots are compelled to struggle to these altitudes so they won't get into any trouble with the fuel nazzies.
The fuel savings are very good if you shut down both engines at TOD and land.
Flops pilots are taught to ignore all those pesky LIMITATIONS in the AFM.
