BPF, I just threw that runaway prop scenario in there to show that the nose yaw right - right engine failed - etc. procedure may not be correct in every instance. I've never had a runaway in anger, but in the sim they almost always occur just as the gear is getting into the wells, before the initial power reduction. The initial yaw toward the good engine is as pronounced as the yaw of an engine failure toward the dead engine. You could get yourself into the deep stuff if you went ahead and just did it by rote. As you say, the tach and the noise does get your attention PDQ. A manual feather must be carried out, as the conditions for an autofeather are not met with the runaway condition.
Cat, I just saw your post. I've done the driftdown exercise at Flight Safety with the G1. They used to set it up at ten or fifteen thousand feet, give you a runaway prop with a failure to feather, either auto, manual or induced autofeather. The drag is something to behold.
