Please,
Explain to my dumb brain sector8, how a certified RR engine has been commanded to full power via the FADEC and nothing happens.
Please forgive my obvious stupidity; I don't have an E&E but as I understand the relationship, the EEC may command full power, but it is up to the FADEC to honor or modify or reject that demand. Right?
Is my understanding of the sequence incorrect?
Do I not understand the sequential relationship between EEC and FADEC?
It is quite possible I am under a misconception because now we are delving into aerospace engineering and my specialty is airline transport.
How stupid it is that we sit around f*cking with this when the obvious solution is to engineer this airplane like the 747 with a physical cable to the FCU.
But maybe I'm just old school, and didn't have to worry about !!!!! like a computer deciding I didn't know what the hell I was talking about as the PIC when in the moment of truth my nanosecond brain decided that all the f*cking computers in the world were wrong and I needed MAX POWER NOW!
You modern aviators are just amazing to me. You spend your lives living under the shadow of the HAL-9000 computer.
What do you think should happen in the spilt second that the PIC decides max power is needed? A computer vote? A cyber committee? A democracy?
Survey says?
Something is rotten with with this whole event, and nobody wants to admit that nothing is adding up......
Meanwhile, I'm not going to board a 777 or any scarebus or any other FADEC machine till this is sorted out.
All JMHO's
