ABSTRACT:
Aircraft engine low thrust detection system having sensors for each engine mounted on the engine nacelle in the slip stream of each propeller. A given amount of decrease in engine thrust is detected by a thrust sensor and a signal is generated for a control device. The control device in turn activates a visual signal on the appropriate propeller control level in the cockpit informing the pilot which engine is losing thrust and whether the power loss is partial or total. Aural signals are also installed with different pitches to assist the pilot in identifying the engine which is losing power.
