The Daher TBM 960 is the most automated single-engine turboprop ever certified, pairing a FADEC-equipped PT6E engine with the first autothrottle system on any aircraft in its class.
FADEC gives modern turbine engines full digital authority over every parameter - understanding what it does and how it fails is essential pilot knowledge.
The Daher TBM 960 is the first single-engine turboprop certified with an autothrottle, paired with FADEC engine control - a combination that fundamentally changes what one pilot can manage in demanding IFR conditions.
The Beechcraft Denali debuts GE's Catalyst - the first clean-sheet turboprop engine in 50+ years, with FADEC that reduces engine management to a single lever.
FADEC manages every variable in modern turbine engines with dual-channel redundancy - and understanding how it works, and fails, is essential for any pilot who flies behind one.
