Not only is FADEC the culprit here (regardless who throws the mud), the electrical system can't cope with the draw from main bus because, equipped with Alternators, without the tickle to create a field, energy cannot be generated to provide "control". One cannot "prop" an A/C with dead ECU's. A dead battery precludes flight in this case. How is it with FADEC there is no plan to "reserve" electrical for at least "FA"DEC? Full Authority? HMMMM......

bad attitude: Why the weight and expense of Back up Batteries when a software tweak would prevent load sufficient to kill engines in the first place? If you are correct, it's no wonder Thielert is out of business and the CEO faces criminal indictment.

As In: VOLT LOW, GEAR INOP
