A method of operating an aircraft engine (10) having a bladed rotor (12) coupled thereto during an icing condition is provided. The method comprises controlling the aircraft engine (10) to alternatingly achieve an ice accretion rotational speed (30) of the bladed rotor (12) at which ice accretion on blades (22) of the bladed rotor (12) occurs, and a reduced rotational speed (32) of the bladed rotor (12) to promote ice shedding from the blades (22) of the bladed rotor (12). The reduced rotational speed (32) is lower than the ice accretion rotational speed (30).
