Abstract: An apparatus and method for compensating for asymmetrically produced total engine thrust caused by an engine failure in a multiengine aircraft. The presence of asymmetric total thrust is detected by monitoring aircraft performance parameters, including engine manifold pressures, airspeed, roll angle and yaw. When an engine failure resulting in the production of asymmetric thrust is detected at air speeds below a minimum controllable air speed for the aircraft, and during large aircraft bank angles, the power output from an operating engine is reduced to regain and maintain controllable flight conditions. Limiting the adverse yaw produced by an engine failure by reducing power output from operative engines reduces the tendency of the aircraft to roll into the inoperative engine, hence the aircraft is halted.
