It's not a question that FADECs will fail - but what will be more

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.


What ever happened to GAMI's PRISM system?
