    Abstract: A method of facilitating the piloting of a hybrid rotorcraft that comprises a lift rotor and at least one propulsion rotor together with at least one engine operating in compliance with at least one rating. For at least one rating, onboard calculator determines a first power margin of the power plant that is available for the lift rotor and at least one second power margin that is available for said at least one propulsion rotor. A single indicator displays a line together with a first index pointing to said line to illustrate a current operating point of the lift rotor, and a second index pointing to said line to illustrate a current operating point of said at least one propulsion rotor. For each monitored rating, a first symbol is spaced apart from the first index by a first distance illustrating the first power margin. A second symbol is spaced apart from the second index by a second distance illustrating the second power margin.

    Abstract: A method and a system for stopping a gas turbine comprising a gas generator provided with rotary members and a combustion chamber. The gas turbine includes a fuel circuit controlled by calculation means in communication with a selector. The method includes a step of closing of the fuel circuit on order of the calculation means when the selector is positioned in a first position for causing the gas turbine to stop. If the gas turbine was not idling prior to the closure, or if it was idling, but for a length of time shorter than a threshold, then an electrical machine automatically rotates the rotary members for a limited duration.
