Abstract
A method of simulating an aircraft one-engine inoperative ('OEI') event includes operating a supplemental power unit (“SPU”) at a first SPU power level less than an SPU contingency power rating, operating a primary engine at a first primary-engine power level, reducing the primary-engine power level to less than the first primary-engine power level, and maintaining a sum of the primary-engine power level and the SPU power level at a power level substantially equal to the SPU contingency power rating.
