CECO Vs. Bendix Fuel Controls
Does anyone know the benefits of either a CECO fuel control versus a Bendix
fuel control on the Rolls Royce 250 Series? Aside from the fact that one works off of air pressure and the other off of fuel pressure is one better than another? |

The Bendix is either on or off. ISTR that we eventually did away with all our CECO's and went all Bendix, for some reason unknown to the pilots. Most likely an A&P will jump in with the real story. -- Regards, Stan |

Simple - CECO costs more. BTW Bendix now make a FADEC system for the 250 as well. See: http://www.aviationtoday.com/reports.../0101bower.htm or http://tinyurl.com/onvu Slatts |

The system mentioned in the link is not a FADEC. It is an engine monitoring
system that protects from Hot Starts. FADEC does a lot more than protect from hot starts... If my memory serves me correctly, Altair is now a part of Pratt and Whitney. It was only in a partnership with Honeywell/Bendix and never was owned by them. Chuck "Mike Th..." wrote in message news:kKOcb.21734$I36.15297@pd7tw3no...

I have never had any dealings with the system but the article says: "Another benefit of most standard FADECs and Intellistart Plus+ is that they can produce an accurate accounting of flights, starts, torque events, exceedences, and power checks.
