A system and method for controlling an altitude loss of an aircraft in response to a power loss event, includes obtaining at least one aircraft condition from at least one sensor, determining a present aircraft energy state of the aircraft from the at least one aircraft condition via an energy analysis unit, wherein the present aircraft energy state includes an aircraft potential energy and at least one of an aircraft kinetic energy and a rotor rotational kinetic energy, calculating a flight path to partially utilize at least one of the aircraft kinetic energy and the rotor rotational kinetic energy to initiate an autorotation state of the aircraft via a flight path controller, wherein the flight path controller minimizes an aircraft potential energy loss associated with the flight path, and initiating the autorotation state of the aircraft via the flight path.
