Methods and systems for controlling windmilling in an engine are described. An electric starter motor is coupled to the engine, a circuit element is coupled to the electric starter engine and to a DC signal source, and a control system coupled to the engine and to the circuit element. The control system is configured for: determining whether the engine is in a windmilling state; when the engine is in a windmilling state, commanding the circuit element to apply a DC signal to the electric starter motor; and modulating the DC signal applied to the electric starter motor to control a level of rotational motion of the engine.
