    摘要: There is described a method of operating a multi-engine system of an helicopter. The multi-engine system has a first turboshaft engine having a first shaft, a second turboshaft engine having a second shaft, a gearbox having a clutch system, and a range of rotation speeds defined as a placarded zone. The method generally has: rotating the first and second shafts at a first idle rotation speed below the placarded zone when clutched to a load; increasing a rotation speed of the first shaft from the first idle rotation speed to a flight rotation speed above the placarded zone; unclutching the second shaft from the load during the increasing; and increasing a rotation speed of the second shaft to a second idle rotation speed when the second shaft is unclutched from the load, the second idle rotation speed above the placarded zone and below the flight rotation speed.

The method generally has rotating the first shaft at a flight rotation speed when clutched and rotating the second shaft at a first idle rotation speed when unclutched, the first idle rotation speed above the placarded zone; decreasing a rotation speed of the first shaft from the flight rotation speed to a given rotation speed within the placarded zone; decreasing a rotation speed of the second shaft to the given rotation speed; clutching the second shaft; and decreasing the rotation speeds of the first and second shafts to a second idle rotation speed below the placarded zone.
