C-series Dauphin question

Hi everyone,

I heard that you can't idle a C-series Dauphin because the vibrations of the tail rotor drive shaft at idle can produce structural fatigue.

Is that right? Does this mean the engines are always running at higher than idle? Can someone explain this?

Regards,

Tickle.
