Abstract: A method and a device for controlling an aircraft propulsion assembly which mitigates the drawbacks of the application of a protection mode in which the maximum thrust is reduced (a degraded operating mode), in particular when an emergency situation occurs or the switch to protection mode is due to an incorrect analysis of the operating parameters of the propulsion assembly. The method includes a sequence of positions of the thrust control consisting in bringing the thrust control to idle then to setting it into the position corresponding to the desired thrust or a setting of the control to the maximum thrust position. Other simple sequences may include, the transition through the idling position with a transition to maximum thrust position, or through a succession of positions relative to the current position of the thrust control at the moment of the switch to degraded mode.

Abstract: To control an engine shutdown in an aircraft, a control system includes a fuel supply shut-off member, a control member with a set of switches, a first switch on an electrical power supply link of the fuel supply shut-off member and second switches connected to avionics of the aircraft, the set of switches switching position on an engine shutdown command. An engine shutdown confirmation unit includes a third switch on the electrical power supply link, the third switch in open position by default. The engine shutdown confirmation unit includes electronic circuitry configured to switch the third switch over to closed position when a predefined quantity Q of switches of the control member switches position within a sliding window of predefined duration and, otherwise, keeps the third switch in open position. Thus, it is ensured that the engine shutdown is intentional.

Abstract: A method for managing power drawn from power units of propulsion units of an aircraft, wherein the method includes a step of increasing the amount of power drawn from a second power unit that is time shifted, with respect to a step of increasing the amount of power drawn from a first power unit, for a duration that at least allows the operational state or the non-operational state of the first power unit to be determined. This solution allows simultaneous switching to the non-operational state of the two power units to be avoided.
