Default FADEC = complex

There are automated systems failing all around me, too.

Yu need to get it into your head that we are not talking about fly by wire. Get
it? FADEC is NOT fly by wire.


Full-authority digital engine control is most definitely fly-by-wire.
It's one of the premier examples of it. It has also been a source of
a lot of problems.

If fly by wire is such a huge probem, and it is so poorly
understood, certainly you can cite a NTSB case where the fly by wire caused a
crash.


I've already provided a list.

Most military high performance aircraft also use fly by wire, and once
they leave the test ing and development stages, they don't have a problem
either.


Many military aircraft have had serious problems with fly-by-wire even
after deployment.

Just a reminder, though, that fly by wire is not the subject. FADEC is the
subject.


The latter is an example of the former.
