Rumour is that the 109 Power had a lightning strike while IMC - This caused a total electrical failure and the FADEC's to close down both engines.
Fortunately everyone survived.
If this is correct it Seems the Power has some serious glitches to iron out.

Didn't someone have a mysterious FADEC problem on a Power at Sywell a few months back? Any links? :rolleyes:
