Herein provided are methods and systems for producing reverse thrust in a multi-engine propeller aircraft (100), comprising: obtaining, at a first engine controller (222) of a first engine (212) of the aircraft (100), a first power request for the first engine (212) for producing reverse thrust; determining, at the first engine controller (222), a first blade angle for a first propeller (214) coupled to the first engine (212); obtaining, at the first engine controller (222) and from a second engine controller (272) of a second engine (262) of the aircraft (100), a second power request for the second engine (262) and a second blade angle for a second propeller (264) coupled to the second engine (262); and when the second power request is indicative of a request for producing reverse thrust and when the first and second blade angles are beyond a predetermined threshold, commanding, via the first engine controller (222), the first engine (212) to produce reverse thrust based on the first power request.
