407 Driver:

The engine drives into the main Xmsn via the driveshaft that failed.

The Xmsn drives the tail rotor via a separate shaft that runs below the engine. The engine does not drive the tail rotor directly, or else every engine failure or practice auto is a tail rotor failure.

So, i agree with V-any : why leave it running?
