To add something to the debate-
I tried TRDS failure at 300' TDP in the AW169FFS. daytime, & knowing it was going to happen. I survived.....but only at the second attempt! Main problem was having to look inboard to get the engine mode switches , which are located significantly out of your line of sight if looking out of the windshield (using left hand, which means removing it from collective!).
I honestly think the chance of getting away with it for real, single pilot at night are pretty close to zero.
