Cessna Pilots Association Australia have invited Walter Atkinson and George Braly to hold one of their Advanced Pilot Seminars in Australia...12-14th October in Sydney.

Google CPAA for details.

I don't think Cirrus have a FADEC as such...Cirrus do schedule RPM automagically but pretty sure mixture is still manual...stand to be corrected on that though. What I do know is they are fitted with balanced injectors, probably Gamis, and digital engine monitors.

I think the only true FADECs fitted to light aircraft are in the diesel powered aircraft coming from Europe. Stand to be corrected on that too.

Personally I prefer knowing what to do with the throttle/prop/mixture...FADEC is a sop for lazy pilots.
