The existence of autorotation of a load (e.g., a helicopter rotor system) coupled to the free turbine of a gas turbine engine is determined and a signal indicative thereof enables an integrator which, upon autorotation, integrates rate-based recovery anticipation provided thereto, the integrator output providing a time-composite bias signal to the main control portion of the engine fuel control to increase the speed of the gas generator of the engine in anticipation of rotor reengagement with the free turbine. The amount of recovery error is determined from the rotor speed error and is multiplied with the integrator output, the product being fed, upon completion of autorotation recovery, to the integrator input whose output now provides a controlled removal of the bias signal from the main control portion so as to minimize transients induced therein.
