FADEC = complex

Kev,

Read more carefully. I said GA _usually_ doesn't have the redundancy.
The Thielert does, but at a price.

The redudancy is not the reason for the price of the Thielert. And under many
operating circumstances, a Thielert conversion might be cheaper than a normal
engine.

Just one related NTSB or ASRS report, please.

Just Google for "fadec failure history".

I did. No joy. Now you do it.

Sorry, gotta agree with Mx again. I've done certified government
software, and it's generally a meaningless certification.

A "government certification" is not an FAA certification.

Thomas, do you know of a FADEC that at a minimum, does not have dual channels,
for all components, with a detectable warning of a failure in one channel?

I do not know of one single certified FADEC that does not have redundancy. As a
matter of fact, I think I have read that it is a condition to certification,
unless it is proven to have such a very low risk of failure as to not be a
factor. It is not worded exactly like that, but it is something along those
lines.

No, and I agree wit hyour view on certification.
