Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems (610) for operating a rotorcraft (100) comprising a plurality of engines are provided. A request to enter into an asymmetric operating regime (AOR), in which at least one active engine of the plurality of engines is operated in an active mode to provide motive power to the rotorcraft (100) and at least one standby engine of the plurality of engines is operated in a standby mode to provide substantially no motive power, is obtained. Engine usage data for the plurality of engines, including at least one first engine (102) and at least one second engine (104), is determined. Based on the engine usage data, one of the at least one first and second engines (102, 104) is operated as the at least one active engine for the AOR, and the other one of the at least one first and second engines (102, 104) is operated as the at least one standby engine for the AOR.
