Abstract
A system and method of at least reducing the likelihood of a rotor lock in an aircraft gas turbine engine is provided. A determination is made that each propulsion gas turbine engine on an aircraft has experienced a flameout. The rotational speed of each propulsion gas turbine engine is compared to a predetermined threshold rotational speed and, if the rotational speed of each propulsion gas turbine engine is below the predetermined threshold rotational speed, a warning is supplied to a flight crew.
