A method for operating a gas turbine engine having a starter-electric generator driven by one of a plurality of shafts of the gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes determining a desired amount of thrust to be produced by the gas turbine engine, as well as a desired amount of electrical power to be generated by the starter-electric generator of the gas turbine engine. The method operates the gas turbine engine to produce the desired amount of thrust, while producing less than the desired amount of electrical power using the starter-electric generator. Producing less than the desired amount of electrical power using the starter-electric generator allows for the desired amount of thrust production, or allows for the desired amount of thrust production more quickly.
