    摘要: A method for simulating an engine failure on a rotorcraft comprising several engines for setting a rotary wing in motion. The method comprises a training mode that comprises controlling each engine with a controller in order to simulate an engine failure, this control comprising limiting the power of each engine to a respective control restriction value. The training mode comprises the following steps: i) determining, with the controller, a maximum mass at least as a function of external conditions, and an initial mass of the rotorcraft at least as a function of an unladen mass of the rotorcraft, a mass of a crew present in the rotorcraft, and an estimated mass of fuel on-board; ii) comparing, with the controller, the initial mass with the maximum mass; and iii) determining, with the controller, each control restriction value as a function of the comparison.
