There are described methods and systems for providing an autothrottle mode in a propeller-driven aircraft. A thrust change is obtained corresponding to a difference between an actual thrust and a desired thrust for an engine. When greater than a pre-determined threshold, a setting change to one or more control input(s) of the engine is determined. One or more commands is output to cause the setting change of the control input(s).
