A method and control system for an aircraft using a gas turbine engine is provided. The control system includes a controller that includes a load and engine control modules and communicates control signals to a plant that includes a gas generator and a rotor load, an engine estimation module that receives engine state measurements and effector feedback/command signals from the controller and communicates a power turbine torque estimate, and a load estimation module that receives signals including the power turbine torque estimate, a first power turbine speed value, a first power turbine torque value, a second power turbine speed value, a second power turbine torque value, and a rotor speed value. The load estimation module generates one or more of a power turbine speed estimate, a power turbine torque estimate, and a rotor load estimate based on the received signals.
