## Probable cause

The airplane manufacturer's inadequate software design requirements of the engine's full authority digital electronic controls (FADEC) fault logic that resulted in a simultaneous unrecoverable loss of thrust control on both engines when the FADEC's input data values exceeded specified ranges during the approach.  Contributing to the incident was the Federal Aviation Administration's failure to recognize and correct this condition during the certification of the airplane.
