I would think we could all agree that tail rotor failure means enter auto immediately(?).

I am trying to understand situations we would be better off detecting and that where flying off to a suitable landing site for a run-on landing would be a preferred course of action.
If a tail rotor failure occurred over water, or at night and the aircraft still remained flyable, I would rather keep the airspeed up and wait until I coasted in.
