Please remark that the so called "FADEC" is part of the engine
and is mounted on the engine normally. It does not belong to the 
aircraft manufacturer. There are other computers in the aircraft side to
calculate the inputs to the FADEC. These computers 
calculate the thrust demand and are giving this to the engine's FADEC.

Hope this helps.
