I had heard from a pretty good source that Continental/Aerosance had received the type certificate for FADEC for the IO-240 late last year. Next in line was an STC for the IO-550.

For something so potentially revolutionary and beneficial to us lower end GA guys, there certainly has been a surprising lack of coverage from the major aviation news services. One would have thought they would be following the development of FADEC like the paparazzi followed Dianna.
