In combination: an engine having a normal maximum thrust level and emergency maximum thrust level; means for controlling engine fuel delivery to adjust engine thrust within a range having an upper limit not greater than said emergency maximum thrust level; means for generating engine thrust trim signals for limiting engine thrust to said normal maximum thrust level; means for energizing said trim signal generating means; means for producing an output signal indicative of engine malfunction; and means, responsive to said engine malfunction output signal, for controlling the application of said trim signals to said fuel delivery control, said trim signal application controlling means interposed between said trim signal generating means and said energizing means for selectively disconnecting said trim signal generating means from said energizing means.
