US Patent 10106269 System and method for inadvertent engine shutdown prevention

Systems and methods for controlling a throttle can use an auto throttle system. The auto throttle system includes an auto throttle monitor and a disable processor. The auto throttle monitor is configured to monitor throttle levers for an uncommanded throttle movement and disengage auto throttle control in response to the uncommanded throttle movement. The disable processor is configured to receive an indication of a loss of engine power from a first engine and prevent the auto throttle monitor from disengaging the auto throttle control for a throttle lever of the throttle levers associated with a second engine, the second engine being different than the first engine.
