A method of simulating an aircraft one-engine inoperative (“OEI”) event includes operating a supplemental power unit (“SPU”) at a first SPU power level less than an SPU contingency power rating, operating a primary engine at a first primary-engine power level, reducing the primary-engine power level to less than the first primary-engine power level, and maintaining a sum of the primary-engine power level and the SPU power level at a power level substantially equal to the SPU contingency power rating.

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for simulating an event on an aircraft during a flight using a physical flight simulator capable of simulating the flight and the event on the aircraft. The method includes generating executable code including one or more scripts configured to be deployed on the physical flight simulator to simulate one or more aircraft parameters on the aircraft during the event, the one or more aircraft parameters characterizing a current status of the aircraft or systems thereof during the flight. The method further includes a computer processor executing a simulating application to simulate the event. Furthermore, the computer processor is configured to deploy the one or more scripts to output the one or more aircraft parameters to the physical flight simulator, subject to the one or more aircraft parameters, and receive user input in response to the event thereto.
