Abstract
Herein provided are methods and systems for detecting an uncommanded or uncontrollable high thrust (UHT) event in an aircraft, comprising arming a UHT function, comparing an engine fan speed to a reference target and detecting a first condition when a first threshold is exceeded, comparing a rate of change of a high pressure rotor speed to a reference deceleration schedule and detecting a second condition when a second threshold is exceeded, detecting a UHT event based on excess thrust when the first condition and the second condition are detected, and accommodating the UHT event.
