The "Secret" FADEC memory
On the Bell 407 (as an example) who owns the data in the “secret” FADEC memory?
If, as I suspect, the information is owned by the owner of the airframe / engine why will Rolls Royce not give the owner a copy of the raw data when it is downloaded it from the engine when the engine is returned to the factory. Why will they only supply their interpretation of what the data indicates?
If the data belongs to the owner of the airframe / engine does RR have the right to download, interpret and retain the data but refuse to give the owner a copy?
A serious question, considered serious responses will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
