I wonder what the rules are with regards to endorsements when using the FADEC. Doesn't seem right that you can get qualified for a CSU when the electronics are doing all the work (no separate pitch control).

The article suggests that even the Seminole will have just a single power lever. Can you actually do twin training without the ability to control the engines separately? And teach correct responses without the ability to manually feather a propeller?
I think it's a single power lever per engine ALA the Twin Star
