Abstract
A method of optimizing the performance of a rotary wing aircraft having at least one turbine engine with a gas generator and a turbine assembly comprising at least one turbine. In a definition step (STP), first and second performance levels are defined for the aircraft. During a health check step (STP), a first power margin is determined as a function of a speed of rotation of said gas generator and a second power margin is determined as a function of a temperature in said turbine assembly. During an evaluation step (STP), each power margin is compared with a first threshold in order to determine whether a target performance level is equal to the first performance level or to the second performance level. During a display step (STP), the target performance level is displayed.
