There is described herein methods and systems for detecting a shaft event, such as a shaft shear, a shaft decoupling, and/or a shaft failure in a gas turbine engine. The method comprises determining a detection threshold as a set of threshold values for a spool speed of a first spool of the engine and a load transfer through a shaft of a second spool of the engine different from the first spool, the set of threshold values varying throughout a flight envelope, the detection threshold defining, for each spool speed value, at least one load transfer value beyond which a shaft event is detected. Operation values of the spool speed and the load transfer are obtained during operation of the engine, and the operation values are compared to the detection threshold. The shaft event is detected when the operation values are below the detection threshold.
