A method of operating an aircraft engine having a bladed rotor coupled thereto during an icing condition is provided. The method comprises controlling the aircraft engine to alternatingly achieve an ice accretion rotational speed of the bladed rotor at which ice accretion on blades of the bladed rotor occurs, and a reduced rotational speed of the bladed rotor to promote ice shedding from the blades of the bladed rotor. The reduced rotational speed is lower than the ice accretion rotational speed.
