Default FADEC = complex

In article . com,
says...




....
But judging from my forty years' experience with automobile engines
(including having rebuilt my share as a youth), I would have to agree
with Mxsmanic that you're far more likely to have a sudden unannounced
failure with a FADEC system than with a traditional mechanical system,
where some warning (slack in the controls, engine output not up to par,
etc) is often forthcoming.


Well, that's a brilliant non-sequitor!
It is less surprising that you systematically defend this maniac, when we see
that you share the same deficient logic! Would you please care to tell us how
rebuilding car engines as a kid permits you to make otherwise unsubstantiated
claims about failure modes of FADEC systems in aircraft?


I worked in a pet store when I was 16, and I can assure you Mxsmaniac is
correct in his evaluation of failure modes in FADEC systems…...
