Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a gas turbine engine having variable geometry mechanisms are described. The method comprises detecting a failure event associated with the gas turbine engine, identifying a location of the failure event, selecting an aerodynamic load modulation schedule for the variable geometry mechanisms of the gas turbine engine as a function of the location of the failure event, and applying the aerodynamic load modulation schedule as selected to the variable geometry mechanisms during the failure event.
