Between April and June I was trying to find out what could possibly be wrong, doing a lot of research. I decided to try to fool the FADEC into looking at just one fuel pressure sensor instead of two, to see whether one of them was causing the problem. I jerry-rigged this together, and it still didn’t make any difference to the way the engine was running.

I think it was about this time that I decided to screw it: rip the entire FADEC system out and go back to the old-school way of doing things. I’d thought it would be a sensible move to go for something a little more modern in an aircraft today, but it turns out it’s probably not the way to go. Stick to the tried and trusted.
