AFAIK, no real problems with the most feared component,
FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control).


Agree, the FADEC's work flawlessly.
Great fuel economy too - though the 172's have so-so performance (new C-S
3-blade prop too try to get some of that performance back) and they really
stink of kerosene!
