Any airplane I've flown that has Fadec has some sort of manual
reversion.

Yes, but when you take off without any charge in your back-up battery,
it is the idiot at the stick bypassing the reversion that is the
problem.


It's irrelevant when you're talking design flaw. On that occasion it was
the idiot, but thre's a thousand ways the fadec can be robbed of sparks.
Every airplane I've flown with a fadec, ECU, EEC or whatever, has had soome
sort of limp home capability. This one does not. No electrics, no power.
I've had two Fadec malfunctions in the last four months whihc required a
disconnect and reversion to manual FCU. No big deal. 90 seconds n the
checklist and we were back to bitching about how hard our lives were
