Electronic controls - when?

So-called PMC's (Power Management Controls) - electronic controls performing fine trim on a basic hydromechanical system - came into the commercial engine market about 1982. The first I recall were on the CF6-80A on 767s and A310s.

FADEC - Full Authority Digital Electronics - were a few years later, mid or late 80s
