A tail rotor recovery control system has a detection module configured to detect a loss of tail rotor drive from a tail rotor sensor of an aircraft; and a regulation module configured to augment or deactivate manual flight control signals and transmit automated signals to control modules of a primary flight control system. The automated signals facilitate the aircraft to attain or maintain a preset tip path plane level, attain or maintain a preset aircraft state, or to execute an automated recovery to forward flight.
