Zusammenfassung:A method is provided for operating an aircraft having a first propulsion unit and a second propulsion unit. During this method a propulsion unit-inoperative event is identified where the first propulsion unit is inoperative and the second propulsion unit is operative. A trimmed parameter for the second propulsion unit is converted to an actual parameter for the second propulsion unit. The actual parameter is monitored over a period of time the second propulsion unit operates during the propulsion unit-inoperative event. An action is performed in response to determining that the second propulsion unit has operated for at least a time threshold with the actual parameter being equal to or greater than a parameter threshold.
