Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for operating a rotorcraft comprising a plurality of engines configured to provide motive power to the rotorcraft. The rotorcraft is operated in a first flight regime. A target output power range for at least one of the plurality of engines is determined, the target output power range associated with operating the rotorcraft in a second flight regime different from the first flight regime in which at least one first engine of the plurality of engines is operated in an active mode to provide motive power to the rotorcraft and at least one second engine of the plurality of engines is operated in a standby mode to provide substantially no motive power to the rotorcraft. A graphical representation of the target output power range for the second flight regime is produced via a flight display in a cockpit of the rotorcraft.
