A flight indicator for an aircraft, intended to give the power margin available on at least one engine of the aircraft as a function of the flight conditions. The indicator includes sensors (2, 3, 4) capable of delivering data relating to various monitored parameters of the engine, device (5) for processing the data coming from the sensors (2, 3, 4), and display device (6) showing, on a display screen (7) the processed data relating to that parameter among the monitored engine parameters, whose current value is closest to the limiting value for such parameter, each limiting value being established taking the ambient pressure (P0) and ambient temperature (T0) into account, in real time.

[ What is claimed:] [1.] A flight indicator for a helicopter having at least one turbine engine with a gas generator and a free turbine, said flight indicator being intended to give the power margin available on said engine and comprising:(a) sensors capable of delivering current values relating respectively to the following three parameters:(i) the speed of said gas generator.(ii) the temperature at which the gases are ejected at the inlet to said free turbine, and(iii) the engine torque,(b) computing means for comparing said current values to respective limiting values, each of said limiting values being determined as a function of the pressure and the temperature outside said helicopter, and(c) display means showing on a display screen, the current value relating to that parameter, among said three parameters, whose current value is closest to the respective limiting value.
