Abstract

The invention relates to a method of piloting a rotorcraft having a plurality of engines for driving at least one lift and propulsion rotor, in which method, so long as the rotorcraft has not reached an optimum climb speed (OCS), a pitch attitude control signal (Upitch) is determined that is adapted so that the rotorcraft accelerates in application of a profile (P1, P2, P3) that varies as a function of the elapsed time and as a function of the operating state of the engines (OEI/AEO).
