Systems and methods for controlling an gas turbine engine are provided. The method comprises receiving a requested engine speed and obtaining a shaft inertia of the engine, a steady state fuel flow for the requested engine speed, and a relationship between fuel flow and acceleration power generated by the fuel flow. A required fuel flow to obtain an engine acceleration is determined as a function of the requested engine speed, the shaft inertia of the engine, the steady state fuel flow for the requested engine speed, and the relationship between fuel flow and acceleration power generated by the fuel flow. A command to a fuel flow metering valve is output in accordance with the required fuel flow.
