I am amazed that the FAA allow an aircraft with a defect that reduces engine power by up to 33% on takeoff would be considered serviceable. Surely an engine with FADEC version A.0.4.5 installed has a defect that cannot be cleared and is therefore unservicable.

But then the FAA is an American organisation looking after American interests and they cannot have a Boeing with GE engines grounded could they?
