Answer 2

If you don't ask a specific question, you cannot get a specific answer. If your question is just "what's FADEC", then use a search engine. It will provide more useful replies than just someone telling you what it stands for or describing it in a sentence or two.

Answer 3

FADEC is an acronym for Full-Authority Digital Engine Controls.   A FADEC system usually consists of an EEC (Electronic Engine Control) and some for of FCU (Fuel Control Unit).

Basically thrust lever position is measured and sent to the EEC which interprets it and sends a command to the FCU which meters the fuel to the engine.

If this is what you're asking.
