  • Method and apparatus for pilot training
    Patent number: 4831567
    Abstract: A method and system for providing training mode operation of a multiple engine aircraft simulates the failure of one engine and the simultaneous operation of at least one other engine in an elevated, emergency power condition. The engines (20, 22) are mechanically linked (24) and provide a single power output (26). A training power schedule (56a, 56b) is selected (60, 62) to limit the combined engine power output to a level equivalent to the combined output with one engine inoperative and another in an elevated, emergency power operating condition.
