Always allow a repair to be made.

[Rissala]

A situation:

I lose 2 wings in an SU-25
Land
I get no ground crew option to be able to repair. Why?

[=475FG= Dawger]

Because you are dead.

 

Many aircraft in DCS "die" as far as the game is concerned (AI can't detect you, no repair, you don't show on the F10 map) but you can keep flying.

Loss of both wings is recorded as a destroyed aircraft even if you can keep on flying.

 

[Mars Exulte]

There's no fixing that. You get a new plane.

Another thing is, you need to land at an uncontested airfield of your own coalition. So if you land on a red or neutral airfield, or there are armed enemy units inside the black circle around the airfield, you can't repair, refuel or reload.

I learned that the hard way when I once applied chocks and an enemy IFV drove into the circle afterwards.
