Abstract
A method of facilitating piloting a hybrid rotorcraft having at least one propulsive rotor provided with a plurality of first blades and a lift rotor provided with a plurality of second blades, the hybrid rotorcraft having a power plant. The method includes a step of displaying on a single indicator a first pointer, the position of which along a movement path varies as a function of a first power from the power plant that is consumed by the propulsive system, and of displaying a second pointer, the position of which varies as a function of a second power of the power plant that is consumed by the lift rotor, a variable space between the first pointer and the second pointer representing a power margin from the power plant that is not used so long as the first pointer is situated between the first end and the second pointer.
