Abstract
A system and method for conducting flight procedures training in a rotary-wing aircraft with a multi-engine powerplant includes determining a variable bias relative an available power margin to simulate a reduced power available flight condition; and displaying symbology indicative of the simulated reduced power available flight condition.
Claims26
A method for conducting flight procedures training in a rotary-wing aircraft with a multi-engine powerplant comprising:
- continuously determining an instantaneous available power margin of the multi-engine powerplant system in real time;
- continuously determining a variable bias relative to the instantaneous available power margin;
- limiting a torque of each engine of the multi-engine powerplant system relative to the variable bias to simulate a reduced power available for a flight condition;
- and
- displaying symbology indicative of the simulated reduced power available flight condition.

A module for conducting flight procedures training in a rotary-wing aircraft, comprising:
- a multi-engine powerplant system;
- a cockpit instrument display system;
- and
- an OEI/BIAS training system in communication with said multi-engine powerplant system and said cockpit instrument display system, said OEI/BIAS training system operable to continuously determine a variable bias relative to a continuously updated available power margin by limiting a torque of each engine of said multi-engine powerplant system to simulate a reduced power available flight condition, wherein the continuously updated available power margin is continuously updated in real time.
