Abstract
An engine control system for a first aircraft belonging to a family of aircraft which includes at least a second aircraft, the first aircraft having a maximum mass which is greater, within a predetermined limit, than that of the second aircraft. For an engine of the first aircraft, a first thrust command law controls a thrust of an engine of the first aircraft during take-off phase (T), and a second thrust command law, controls a thrust of the engine to correspond with a part of the thrust command laws applicable to the second aircraft during all other flight phases (R) of the first aircraft. The transition from one flight phase to another is detected to supply the engine with a control signal corresponding to one or the other of the first thrust command law or the second thrust command law.
