Gig,

Sure they may have said we need to
have an easy to use FADEC system but it was the engineers that decided
not to have the limp home mode.


In a way, they do (if not in the way it used to be installed in the
DA42): the emergency battery. I guess what I'm trying to say is: This
engine is different than the old Lycs and TCMs. Doesn't mean it's worse.
Just different.



Nope


It's worse.
