No Cirrus has FADEC or anything like it.

They removed the prop RPM lever, by putting in a crude mechanical linkage to the throttle lever position such that at below a certain throttle position the engine governor is set to 2500 (IIRC) and anything above that it goes to max (2700?).

It's done for U.S. marketing reasons. Nobody with a brain would want something like that, IMHO. Why fly around at 2500 rpm?
