Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides methods and systems for operating a multi-engine rotorcraft. The method comprises driving a rotor of the rotorcraft with a first engine while a second engine is de-clutched from a transmission clutch system that couples the rotor and the second engine, instructing the second engine to accelerate to a re-clutching speed, and controlling an output shaft speed of the second engine during acceleration of the second engine to the re-clutching speed by applying a damping function to a speed control loop of the second engine.
