Default DA 42 accident

It's not a question that FADECs will fail - but what will be more
failure prone: a manual-everything engine where the pilot can mismanage
the engine into quitting, or a FADEC that can lose electrical supply and
cause the engine to quit.





Not all FADEC's fail with the loss of electrical power. The PRISM
system will continue to run without electricity. Matter of fact I'm not
aware of any other system that fails with a loss of electrical power.
