How on earth have you lost control by loosing the one energy source ie the engine? You still have as much control as you would have with the engine albeit you will be trading altitude to maintain that control

If you read my post above how am I wrong? Obviously you cannot maintain altitude which I have actually written " You will be trading altitude to maintain that control".
You are effectively a glider. I am sure glider pilots do not consider that they have lost control?
You still have control of your descent profile other than in a downdraft but in a downdraft even an aircraft with power can "loose control"
The rest is up to piloting skills or lack of them!!!
Tell the Space Shuttle pilots that they have lost control on their long descent to a landing Never heard anything so ridiclous
