Zusammenfassung:	This report presents results of the systems evaluation portion of the A-10A prototype Air Force Flight Evaluation. The A-10A weapon system, as tested by the AFFTC, demonstrated or exhibited the potential for acceptable subsystem performance for conduct of the close air support mission. There were many features that were outstanding, or enhanced the aircraft's capability to perform its design mission. These included bombing and strafing accuracy, armament control, cockpit visibility, auxiliary power unit, and maintainability. See also Appendix 5, ADB004598.
