any ideas?
Not an expert, just an opinion. I don't think it was Airbus that made a change. On the CEO the engine manufacturer keeps the fadec powered, on the NEO the manufacturer shuts the fadec down after a while (although on ours it's definitely variable...). Just like no EPR but N1. Not Airbus but engine manufacturer.
