Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a gas turbine engine are described. The method comprises obtaining, at a control system associated with the gas turbine engine, a measured engine core speed and an actual power demand for the gas turbine engine during operation thereof, determining an expected engine core speed based on the actual power demand from a predicted relationship between engine core speed and engine output power, comparing the measured engine core speed to the expected engine core speed, detecting a torque-related fault when the measured engine core speed differs from the expected engine core speed by more than a threshold; and accommodating the torque-related fault when detected.
